The S stands for, Standard, The O for operating, the P for Procedure in SOP. Page #
The fire department uses the Paramilitary style of leadership. Page #
The Engine Company is the type of Fire Company most responsible for securing a water source, deploying hand lines, conducting search and rescue operations, and putting water on the fire. Page #
The NFPA 1001 Standard, specifies training and performance qualifications for firefighters. Page #
Prior to mounting the apparatus fire fighters should don personal protective equipment (PPE) following notification of an emergency response. Page #
Each fire fighter accident or injury must be investigated thoroughly for two reasons. One is to determine why it happened. The other reason is to determine how it can be avoided in the future. Page #
Lack of sweating is one sign or symptom of heat stroke. Page #
If one member of a firefighting team must leave a fire building for any reason during an assignment, the rest of the team should leave. Page #
If fire fighter candidates see something that they believe is an unsafe practice occurring on the training ground they should bring it to the attention of the instructors or designated safety officer. Page #
Key components of an incident command system (ICS) include planning, supervision, and communications. Page #
Chief is the title or fire department rank that are the heads of the four major functional components of the ICS. Page #
In the ICS structure, the incident commander is the one person ultimately responsible for managing an incident. Page #
Logistics is the ICS section is responsible for keeping vehicles fueled and providing food for fire fighters. Page #
As electricity flows through a wire, the greater the resistance, the more heat is produced. Page #
As a solid fuel heats up, it decomposes and releases individual molecules into the atmosphere. This process is called Pyrolysis. Page #
Under all circumstances the first-arriving officer at a scene is in charge, according to the ICS model. Page #
The four basic ingredients required to create a fire include fuel, oxygen, heat and chemical reaction. Page #
The fire phase called the Decay phase, is when the fire has consumed either the available fuel or oxygen and is starting to die down. Page #
Conduction is the heat transfer when one end of a steel beam is exposed to heat and the other end begins to heat up Page #
Occupancy is the term referring to how a building is being used. Page #
Type I buildings usually use reinforced concrete and protected steel frame in their construction. Page #
Gypsum or wall board will fail when it is exposed to fire for a prolonged time. Page #
A Rabbet tool is one example of a hand-powered hydraulic spreader tool. Page #
Masonry materials are inherently fire resistive. Page #
When individual pieces of wood are glued together it is called laminated wood. Page #
In addition to cutting, a flat-head axe can be used for striking another tool, a pick-head axe cannot. Page #
Vertical ventilation requires Holes in the roof or highest part of the building, horizontal ventilation does not. Page #
A flat-head axe and a Halligan tool are “the irons” Page #
Heated gases move in a room by rising to the ceiling and spreading outward. Page #
Modern wood-frame construction uses a technique that builds one floor at a time and inserts a plate between each floor that acts as a fire stop. This technique is called, Platform-frame. Page #
A Hand light should always accompany interior firefighting teams. Page #
Vertical ventilation involves openings in roofs or floors so that heat, smoke, and toxic gases escape the structure in a vertical direction. Page #
Balloon frame is the construction feature in which there are uninterrupted channels in the walls from foundation to attic, allowing rapid, unchecked vertical fire spread. Page #
Water is directed out a window or door during hydraulic ventilation. Page #
A hose adaptor connects two hose sections of equal diameter but differing threads Page #
A gated wye enables a fire fighter to regulate the flow to either side of the wye independently of the other side. Page #
Butterfly valves are opened or closed by rotating a handle a quarter turn. Page #
A reducer is a type of appliance that is used to attach a smaller hose to a larger one. Page #
When creating a straight hose roll the Male coupling goes on the inside. Page #
Friction loss is affected by three factors. One of those is Hose diameter. Page #
2 ½” is the hose diameter used by most fire departments for heavy interior attack. Page #
In a jacketed fire hose, the outer jacket adds strength to withstand water pressure. Page #
A fire fighter securing hose to the hydrant on a forward (straight) lay must remember to avoid Standing between the hose line and the hydrant. Page #
The practice of having one team of fire fighters conducting offensive operations and another team of fire fighters conducting defensive operations on the same building at the same time be characterized as extremely dangerous. Page #
Pre-connect hose line has a predetermined length of hose, a nozzle already attached, and is connected to a discharge outlet on an engine. Page #
For one fire fighter to control a large hand line safely, first make sure the line is well-anchored. Page #
The objective of an indirect fire attack is to quickly remove as much heat as possible from the fire atmosphere. Page #
The fog nozzle moves more air, and is therefore more likely to disrupt the thermal balance. Page #
Under no circumstances should master stream devices be directed into buildings where fire fighters are operating inside. |
