Q
  1. At roll call, the Officer of Ladder companies shall designate one member to monitor the
    amount of air remaining in the Fast Pak. Which choice is correct concerning the Fast Pak?
    (4.1)
    (A) The Fast Pak is equipped with a vibra-alert.
    (B) The Fast Pak is equipped with a Heads Up Display indicator.
    (C) The only way to monitor the air pressure in the Fast Pak is the remote gauge.
    (D) The member assigned to monitor the actual volume of air remaining in the Fast Pak must
    have audible communication with the extrication team.
    (E) It is permitted to start an operation with a Fast Pak that has a cylinder that is 50% full. The
    cylinder should be exchanged with a full cylinder when time permits.
A
  1. D
  2. LIMITATIONS
    4.1 The Fast Pak is not equipped with a vibra-alert or heads up display indicator. The only
    way to monitor the air pressure in the Fast Pak is the cylinder gauge. Therefore, it is
    essential that one member of the FAST Unit is assigned to monitor the actual volume of
    air remaining in the portable cylinder. This member must have audible communication
    with the extrication team. Always start an operation with a full cylinder. Operational
    time of a SCBA resupplied by a Fast Pak can vary depending on several factors.
    (e.g., residual air in the distressed member’s SCBA cylinder, emotional / physical
    condition of the distressed member.)

Q
  1. When using the High Pressure Method to replenish air, the Universal Air Coupling (UAC)
    is used. Choose the incorrect choice about this method. (5.2, 5.3, 5.4.1, 5.4.3, 5.4.6)
    (A) The UAC is for emergency use only when a member is low or out of air within an IDLH
    atmosphere.
    (B) The 5 foot high pressure hose will administer air to a member’s SCBA via the UAC. This
    will equalize air in both cylinders in approximately 10 seconds.
    (C) Both the cylinder valve on the Fast Pak and the member’s SCBA shall be fully open.
    (D) If air replenishment is needed a second time and time is of the essence, you can use the Fast
    Pak’s remaining air. This will only result in marginally replenishing the member’s cylinder.
A
  1. B

5.3 The 5 ft. high pressure hose will administer air to a member’s SCBA via the UAC.
This will equalize air in both cylinders in approximately 60 seconds. The Fast Pak has a
built in check valve that only permits air to be delivered to a member’s SCBA.

Addendum 8
17. The Scott Pak-Tracker is currently carried by all Rescue and Squad Companies, the Rescue
Battalion and Safety Battalion. Which point about its’ basic use is incorrect? (2.1, 3.1, 4.1,
5.2)
(A) When the PASS goes into full alarm (activated), it transmits a signal that is received by the
Pak-Tracker.
(B) The Pak-Tracker will begin to vibrate when the transmitted signal is received and display
the identity (unit and name of member) of the SCBA and the time of activation on the LCD
display.
(C) The maximum range of the personal transmitter to the Pak-Tracker is approximately 950
feet line of sight.
(D) The Pak-Tracker receiver is not suitable for use in potentially flammable or explosive
atmospheres.

A

17- B was the original answer. Due to the bulletin revision, A and C are also wrong. A is wrong because now the PASS must go into full alarm for 10 seconds before a signal is transmitted to the Pak Tracker Receiver. C is now incorrect because the maximum range is approximately 900 feet line of sight.

30
Q
  1. The Pak-Tracker receiver is turned on by pressing and holding both the Enter (right) and
    the Scroll (left) buttons at the same time. Which choice is incorrect concerning the monitoring
    capability? (5.3, 5.4)
    (A) The Pak-tracker can store up to 36 SCBA identities.
    (B) The receiver’s LCD display screen is large enough to display two lines of information.
    (C) If two PASS Alarms are activated then both SCBA identities will display in the LCD
    screen. If a third PASS alarm activates, it will show at the top of the LCD screen and the 1st
    PASS identity will move off the screen.
    (D) Once a Pak-Tracker has locked onto the signal of a specific PASS it can still receive any
    additional PASS alarm signals.
A

Q
  1. The Rescue or Squad Company shall bring the Pak-Tracker to the ICP, turn it on and
    notify the IC. Which action that follows is incorrect? (6.3, 6.5, 7.4)
    (A) Once the Pak-Tracker receives a signal from a PASS, the member monitoring the Pak-
    Tracker shall immediately transmit a Mayday.
    (B) When the IC decides to utilize the tracking capability of the Pak-Tracker, only members
    trained in this procedure shall perform this task.
    (C) To track an activated PASS alarm, press the Enter button once.
    (D) If two or more PASS alarm are activated and transmitting, press and hold the Scroll button
    for 3 seconds until the PASS alarm you want to track appears in the top row of the LCD display.
A

19- A (B is now wrong also due to revising of Bulletin. It no longer mentions the trained
member.)

6.1 When an SCBA’s PASS alarm is activated in the full-alarm mode for ten seconds, the
PASS alarm transmits a signal that can be received by the Pak-Tracker handheld receiver.
When this occurs, the Pak-Tracker receiver will emit a 2-tone audible alarm and display
the identity (unit and member assignment) of the SCBA.
Note: A ten-second time lag is built into the system in order to minimize inadvertent
activations.

Q
  1. A recently promoted Lt. is holding a drill on the operation of the Pak-Tracker. Which two
    statement made by the Lt. are correct concerning this tool? (7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9)
    (A) To begin searching, hold the Pak-Tracker horizontally at shoulder level out in front.
    (B) When the signal strength rises above the 25% level, the row of LED’s will begin to light
    starting with Green at the bottom, Yellow in the middle, and Red at the top.
    (C) When there are features such as doors, hallways, openings or windows, take readings at
    each feature to determine a possible general direction for the signal.
    (D) Start sweeping the Pak-Tracker, starting at the ceiling and working your way down to the
    floor.
    (E) Always pause 2 to 3 seconds for a reading. It is best to pause at distinct directional points,
    i.e. to the left, in front, to the right. Always move towards the highest relative signal strength
    displayed.
A

20- C (E was correct, but is now incorrect in the new bulletin

7.6 To begin searching, the Pak-Tracker should be held at waist height out in front of the
operating member- the top of the hand-held receiver should be pointed toward the target
(Photo 4). This is important because the hand-held receiver’s sensor captures the distress
signal from the top of the unit, and the relative signal strength will be greatly affected by
the orientation of the hand-held receiver.

During a search, the row of LEDs and the numerical signal strength shown on the LCD
display indicate the relative strength and approximate direction of the signal from the
SCBA. Pointing the Pak-Tracker in the direction of the strongest relative signal and
moving in that direction should lead to the activated SCBA. When the signal strength
rises above the 50-percent level, the row of LEDs will begin to light starting with red at
the bottom, yellow in the middle, and green at the top.
