You are a BC operating at a small lithium battery fire in a warehouse where you require the use of Lith-X extinguishers. Current assignment – ENG 95P, ENG 96P, ENG 97S, ENG 98I, LAD 90, LAD 91S, LAD 92F, RESCUE 2, SQUAD 1, BATT 99, HAZ MAT 1, ENG 99H, HAZ MAT BATT. How many Lith-X extinguishers do you have available at the scene?
A: 4
B: 5
C: 6
B Training Bulletins Tools 34
B is Correct 6.1 Rescue, Squad, Haz-Mat, HMTU’s, Soc Support Trucks, Purple K Units.
NOTE – Engine P designation is High Pressure Pumper, S is Communications Unit, I is Fire Ice Unit, Truck F is Fast Truck. These units do NOT carry. Haz Mat Battalion does NOT carry
Incorrect for MET-LX extinguisher
A. MET-LX can be used on certain alkali metals including Lithium, Sodium, and Potassium. It was specifically designed for Lithium fires (batteries)
B. Salt in MET-LX extinguisher forms a crust excluding air from contact with the metal. A plastic additive melts to hold the crust together until the metal is cooled below its ignition temperature
C. MET-LX is suitable for fires in solid chunks such as casings
D. MET-LX extinguisher has a yellow label that states “MET-LX” for Class D Fires only
A Specifically for alkali metals, including sodium and potassium, and can be used on other metals.
Lith X is designed specifically for Lithium
Incorrect for LITH-X extinguisher
A. Can be used on certain alkali metals including Lithium, Sodium, and Potassium. It was specifically developed for Lithium fires (batteries)
B. Powder will cake and form a crust just like Met-LX
C. Excludes oxygen and acts as a heat sink directing heat away from the metal, eventually extinguishing the fire
D. Has a label affixed that states “Lith-X.” There will be no yellow label
B LITH-X does NOT cake or crust like MET-LX but it does exclude oxygen and act as a heat sink directing heat away from metal, eventually extinguishing the fire
It is correct to state LITH-X
A. Is superior in a very hot burning metal fire such as lithium
B. Effectiveness on vertical surfaces is superior
C. Will cling to metal surfaces, so it will not be necessary to cover burning material completely
D. Superior to MET-LX at adhering to hot vertical surfaces
A
Retractable bollards electronically retract into the ground by a key switch. Choose incorrect
A. If there is an object on a retracted bollard, it will not rise because there are loop detector zones on each side of the bollard
B. There are two key switches inside of the control box. Top is for FD use
C. To unlock the control box a FF will insert the key marked “CB” and turn it clockwise
D. FF will insert key marked “EM” into FD key switch and turn it to the EMERG position to lower bollard. Key is not removable in EMERG position
E. FF must be assigned to remain at the control box throughout the operation. Keys must NOT be left unattended in the key switch at anytime
C “RB” Think “Retractable Bollard” R and B
Set of keys will be issued to First Due Units by PTSU
If the Control Box to a retractable bollard is opened and a key is not placed in the key switch within _ seconds, the system will switch to tamper mode causing an alarm to sound and power to be cut from the system
A. 15 B. 30 C. 45 D. 60
B 30 seconds
Digital In-line Gauge correct
A. Hi-P will alternately flash on red digital readout when pressure exceeds 150 psi
B. Hi-F will alternately flash on the blue digital readout when water flow exceeds 250 GPM
C. LO-F will alternately flash on the blue digital readout when water flow is less than 180 GPM
D. If there has been no water flow for 15 minutes, the display will power off automatically
B
A exceeds 200 psi
C less than 80 GPM
D no water for 15 minutes…Sleep mode; no water for 30 minutes powers off
Floor Jacks incorrect
A. Max capacity is 3 tons (6000 lbs)
B. Lifting height ranges from 3 1/2 inches to 18 inches. 5 pumps will achieve max height
C. When lifting, load must be centered on jack saddle
D. Use the floor jack when the vehicle is on a relatively flat, level surface
E. During the lifting process, do not get under the vehicle until the vehicle has been cribbed
A 2 tons 4000 lbs
Blitzfire Oscillating Monitor incorrect
A. Max inlet pressure is 200 PSI
B. Horizontal stream range when stationary is +/- 20 degrees either side of the center-line
C. Vertical Stream range is 10 degrees above to 86 degrees above the horizontal
D. Flow control handle has 6 dented positions which regulate flow of water (GPM)
A Max inlet pressure of 175 PSI
When utilizing the oscillating mechanism to have the stream sweep back and forth, it would be correct for the Officer to think that (2)
A. Minimum pressure of 175 PSI is req’d for proper oscillating operation
B. Oscillating feature can be used with master stream fog nozzle or stacked smooth bore tips
C. Horizontal stream range can be set for 20, 30, or 40 degree sweep
B C
A Minimum FLOW Rate of 175 GPM needed for oscillating operation
Correct supply for Blitzfire Monitor A. One 2 1/2" supply line B. Two 2 1/2" supply lines C. One 3 1/2" supply line D. Two 3 1/2" supply lines
A
Max Force Dual Pressure Automatic Nozzle correct
A. Max flow capacity of 600 GPM if supplied w/175 PSI
B. Adjusts from straight stream to a 130 degree wide fog
C. Fog tip that may be switched between 120 psi standard mode and a 75 psi low pressure mode
D. Can be used to apply finished FF foam
D
A Max flow capacity of 500 GPM
B 120 degree wide fog
C 100 and 55 psi
