Where is the firemain segregation valve located and what it is used for
o FM SEG VALVE is located at 1-169-1 in the main p-way outside the chiefs mess. Segregated when Zebra is called when entering combat to ensure a rupture at 1 part of the FM does not affect the whole system
How long does an eebd last
10 minutes
What is the eebd used for?
Should only be used for egress, not to fight the fire

Best way to fight an alpha fire
Best way to fight an Alpha fire is to remove their heat with water. They can also be temporarily or permanently halted by cutting off their access to air.
Best way to fight a bravo fire
Best way to fight is to smother with AFFF. PKP can be used to beat down the flames. Do not use straight stream water on bravo fire as it can remove AFFF and push the fire into new locations.
Best way to fight charlie fire
Best way to combat a Charlie fire is to secure power to the unit. Until electricity has been shut uoff, it must be put out with a non-conducting agent, preferably CO2 which will not damage the equipment. The last resort is to use high velocity fog, while keeping the nozzle at least 4 feet awa from live circuits. PKP is a last resort and should not be used due to how corrosive it is.
Best way to fight a delta fire
Best method is to smother with dry sand or by cooling using large amounts of water from a safe distance. Can also spray water on unburned metal around the fire to lower its temperature to prevent combustion. Do not use a solid stream of water on Delta fires, if possible material should be jettisoned over the side
What are the fire watch procedures

What are some characteristics and details of the SCBA
Self contained device the enables the wearer to inhale oxygen regardless of atmosphere. Effective time of oxygen is 30-45 minutes, but an inproper seal can drain the tank in 5. Cylinder holds 4500 PSIG of compressed air. HUD shows 4 green lights for 75-100%, 3 green for 50-75, two yellow for 26-75, and 1 red for 0-25. First stage reducer brings the air pressure down to 80 PSI. Second state regulator maintains positive pressure to the face mask at all times. Audible alarm goes off when starting the SCBA, and at 25% tank left and 1000 psi in the tank.
How do you check for fires
Look at fitting for signs of heat, such as glowing red, blistering, or peeling paint. Feel for heat by pulling the back of your glove to reveal a small patch of skin. Run the back of yoru hand a few inches away from the fitting to feel for heat. If using an ATC, listen for the sound of air rushing in. If opening a QAWTD, stop the handle at the striker plate. If opening an IDWTD then open hinge sides first.
Give info on ram fan and where they are found
o Requires a 1 ½ in h supply hose, a 1 ½ inch discharge hose, and 10” ducting. Firemain is used to supply water to the ram fan. Under standard operating pressure of 125 PSIG, the ram fan will output 1750 cfm. The ram fan must be grounded prior to use, and the discharge must be manned in order to ensure water goes into the right space. Ducting comes in 10 ft lengths and is stored in the zipper locker and the 26 p-way. If more than three trunks are used, a second ram fan must be rigged in tandem

How many gallons are in the AFFF tank and how do you operate it
o 85 Gallon tank. To operate, energize the firemain and ensure that at least 95 psi is flowing. Open the firemain foam supply valve and ensure the open light energizes. Energize the AFFF concentrate pump. Open the supply valve to the set of stations you want to supply AFFF to
What is the operating pressure for the firemain and how do you control teh system
o Firemain is a single-main dry rise which consists of a mainline that extends forward and aft on the main deck. There are to pumps that provide water circulation and pressure via risers to the mainline. Pump 1 is in Aux 2 and Pump 2 is in the JP-5 pump room. Fire pumps can be energized in ECC and the AFFF pump room. Individual pumps can also be energized locally at the pump. Each pump can provide 125 psi and 500 gpm of firefighting water to the firemain system
How do you perform CPR?
o Position patient on a flat, firm surface. Kneel close to chest. Place heel of one hand on center of chest. Place heel of second hand on top of first. Interlace yoru fingers to help keep them off chest. Position shoulders directly above hands. Lock elbows and use upper body weight to push. Push hard, straight down at least 2 inches. Lift hands and allow chest to rebound. Without interruption, push fast and deep at a rate of at least 100 times a minute. Pinch nose shut, seat lips around patients mouth, and give two slow ventilations. If no breathing is noticed, do one breath every 5 seconds
