List the checks that should be made when closing an appliance roller shutter.

Back 16

[That the pull down strap is not trapped under the locker bar]

[The shutter lock bar and its locating hold-down catches must be carefully checked for damage, security and that when closed the lock bar fully engages under the hold-down catches.]

[Check the blue arrows marked on all the shutter faces and pillars. If the arrows are not completely in alignment, the shutter is not securely latched]

[Any knots found in the strap must be undone. If these cannot be undone, it must be reported as a defect]

[A gap above 5mm between lock bar and hold down catch (es) when shutter appears to be shut must be reported]

Back 20

500mm / 50cm / ½ metre

Front 21

How can overrunning the supply be recognised when the pump is operating?

Back 21

By the falling level of the water tank contents indicator

Front 22

safety considerations that apply when using a ladder are:

Back 22

Risk assess potential access points before pitching the ladder.

• Make sure the ladder is long enough for the task.

Make sure the ladder is placed on stable ground and pitched at a safe angle.

• Be aware of overhead obstructions and electricity cables.

• Make sure the head of the ladder is resting on a stable point and tie the head off when additional security is required.

• Take care to avoid knocking the ladder when moving equipment or hose.

Front 23

During pumping operations, the pump operator should continually monitor their gauges, flow meter and water contents indicator to make sure what three things are happening?

Back 23

The supply is not being overrun

The correct pressure is being delivered to the branches

The pump is performing correctly

Front 24

Appliance inventories serve three purposes, what are they?

Back 24

Make sure all the equipment is present

To check the condition and readiness of the appliance equipment

To check the equipment is correctly stowed on the appliance

Front 25

One of the four safety considerations when working on a ladder is not to overload the ladder. Unless assisting a casualty down the ladder, a maximum of one person per extension is allowed. List the other three safety considerations.

Back 25

Three points of contact should always be maintained when working on a ladder, that is two feet and a hand. Other methods of preventing a fall are required if both hands need to be used

• Do not overreach, make sure the centre of the body (navel) always stays within the strings of the ladder.

• Do not work on the top three rounds.

Front 26

List three reasons when a ground monitor will be used in preferrence to hand held branches?

Back 26

A larger volume of water or foam is required than can be provided by hand controlled branches.

Operations require extinguishing media to be thrown a greater distance

Operations require extinguishing media over long time periods in the same area of operation, for example, foam attack, cooling of surfaces, large fires.

When pump operating from an open water supply, state three reasons why the compound gauge should indicate a decreased reading.

Back 27

Level of supply raisedBranches shut downSlight air leak on the suction side of the pump

Front 30

State four measures firefighters can take to control the jet reaction?

Back 30

Start with a pressure rate and flow rate that can be coped with and increase the flow rate and pressure when required

Adopt a position on even and stable ground

Have at least two firefighters on the branch when working with high flow-rates and high pressures

Make sure the hose runs out in a straight line behind the branch operator

What is a 90mm hose adaptor kit used for?

Back 32

Front 33

Gang nailed roof truss plates have been found to pose a risk to firefighters in the event of a fire. Describe the risk.

Back 33

They can be severely weakened by fire. As a trussed roof is designed so that the weight of the whole roof is spread across the whole structure, any failure of the roof members [can lead to an immediate collapse].

Front 34

The effect of a fire on the walls of a building can cause the building to collapse. One reason is cracked or dropped arches over windows doors and other openings. Give three other reasons why a wall may become unstable?

Back 34

Expansion of the inner face of a wall due to heat bowing the wall out of vertical.

Cracks in the lower parts of the wall (especially horizontal cracks) indicate danger.

Walls can be made unstable by the collapse of floors leaving high walls unsupported.

Collapse of beams or floor joists can lever walls off balance.
