Drivers will most likely stage apparatus where?
Cold Zone
Buffer Zone
Warm Zone
Hot Zone
What is minimum square feet aerial platform must be?
12 feet
14 feet
16 feet
18 feet
Which staging would be implemented when numerous units are responding to operate at the same incident, particularly those that require mutual aid or result in transmittal of multiple alarms?
Level I
Primary
Secondary
Level II
If fire conditions are evident upon arrival, what is the best option for positioning?
Place the apparatus as physically close to the scene as possible
Place the apparatus at the first available position that offers a view of the incident scene
Place the apparatus in a safe position that offers the best tactical advantage
Place the apparatus in a position that is in the middle of the incident scene for easy access
If fire conditions are not evident upon arrival, which is the best option for positioning the fire apparatus?
Drive the apparatus all the way around the building.
Pull the apparatus directly in front of the building.
Stop the apparatus well before approaching the building.
Pull the apparatus past the front of the building.
Which of the following is an item tiller operators must be particularly aware of?
Distance of the trailer from the base of the building involved
Keeping one hand on the wheel and one on the radio
Under-correcting
Keeping the trailer in a turn
Because a large amount of heat is required to change water to steam:
the fire will be extinguished before water changes to steam.
this allows less heat to be absorbed from the fire.
this allows more heat to be absorbed from the fire
the fire will expand before water puts it out
Which principle of friction loss demonstrates the advantage of a larger size hose?
When hoses are the same size, friction loss varies approx with the square of the increase in velocity of the flow
For the same discharge, friction loss varies inversely as the fifth power of the diameter of the hose
If all other conditions are the same, friction loss varies directly with the length of the hose
For a given velocity, friction loss is approx the same, regardless of the pressure on the water
Which of the following is the best option when arriving on scene and no fire is evident
Pull apparatus past the front of the building
Stop the apparatus well before approaching the building
Pull the apparatus directly in front of the building
Drive the apparatus all the way around the building and back
When determining routes to take, drivers should plot routes that avoid
Residential housing areas
Four-way intersections
Cloverleaf intersections
Low overpasses
Which statement about the ability of water to extinguish fire is most accurate
Water must be combined with some other extinguishing agent in order to extinguish fires
Water breaks the chain reaction of a fire by disrupting the fuel source
Water extinguishes fire by cooling the object it's applied to
Water can cool or absorb heat from a fire as well as smother fire
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is:
16.4 psi
14.7 psi
12.2 psi
10.0 psi
When numerous units are responding to the same incident, particularly when mutual aid/multiple alarms needed, which staging would be implemented?
Level I Staging
Primary Staging
Level II Staging
Secondary Staging
In which of the following situations would tandem pumping most likely be used?
When first engine is more than 5 years old
When additional personnel are requested at the scene
When it's necessary to supply a high rise sprinkler or standpipe
When a single engine is capable of supplying required pressure
An automatic fog nozzle is designed to
change patterns while maintaining the same nozzle pressure
provide a relatively low volume of water delivery.
allow the firefighter operating the handline to select flow rate to suit the fire and operating conditions.
flow a specific volume of water on all stream patterns at a specific nozzle discharge pressure.
A constant flow fog nozzle is designed to:
change patterns while also changing nozzle pressure.
What should be done if priming has not been achieved within the acceptable time period for a particular situation?
Priming should continue until a prime is achieved
Priming attempt should be stopped and the problem traced
Wait 5-10 minutes and try priming again
Mutual aid resources called to the scene
At an emergency medical incident, if possible, the aerial apparatus should be parked off the street to:
virtually eliminate any hazards associated with traffic.
improve the overall stability of the apparatus.
protect smaller vehicles from oncoming traffic.
make room for other emergency vehicles.
Which of the following types of surface should an aerial apparatus only be parked on as a last alternative?
On grades
Soft surfaces
Stable surfaces
In parking lots
