At a collapse incident where victim removal requires tunneling, trenching, shoring or cutting of structural members, which units are trained in “Collapse Rescue” operations and may be assigned to such activities? (Collapse—10.1)A. Rescue companies onlyB. Squad companies onlyC. Rescue and Squad CompaniesD. Rescue, Squad, and SOC Support Ladder Companies

Answer 10

10. CRescue CompaniesRescue Company members are trained in Collapse Rescue Operations.• Due to the weight of their equipment, access to the collapse site for at least the first arriving Rescue as well as at least one Collapse Rescue Unit must be ensured.• Rescue Companies will perform any victim removal activity that involves tunneling, trenching, shoring or cutting of structural members.• Two Rescue Companies are assigned to all major collapses.• At least one Rescue Company should be deployed at each buried victim location.• If dangerous void entries or tunneling operations are to be made, a third Rescue Company should be relocated to quarters near the incident or assigned to the staging area for rapid intervention of members if a secondary collapse occurs.10.1.2Squad CompaniesSquad Company members are trained in Collapse Rescue Operations.• Their apparatus does not carry all the necessary equipment to perform tunneling, trenching, or shoring, but they are trained to use equipment found on Rescue apparatus, Collapse Rescue Units, and in Collapse PODs.• At large scale incidents with multiple buried victims, the IC may assign a Squad Company to sites where there is no Rescue Company available.

Question 11

11. A SOC Support Ladder may be used as a second FAST Unit in the Search and Rescue Branch. A. Agree or D. Disagree?

Answer 11

11. ASpecial Operations Support Ladder CompaniesMembers are trained in collapse operations, void access and shoring techniques.• Assist Rescue Companies in tunneling and victim removal.• Can act as a second FAST Unit, working underneath the Search and Rescue Branch.

Question 12

12. What stage(s) of a collapse rescue operation can be conducted simultaneously if conditions and personnel permit? (Collapse—11.3, 11.4)1. Reconnaissance2. Accounting for and removal of surface victims3. Search of the voids4. Selected debris removal and tunneling5. General debris removalA. 1, 2 only B. 2, 3 onlyC. 1, 2, 3 onlyD. 1, 2, 3, 4

Answer 12

12. CVictims may be found in various degrees of entanglement. After completing the reconnaissance phase, or simultaneously, if conditions and personnel permit, start the removal of victims who are lightly pinned. In some cases, they won’t require much assistance..• Individual voids may be found in any type of collapse. They result from spaces formed by strong objects that prevent a collapse into that particular section. They are difficult to locate, for they occur at random depending on the layout of partitions and furniture. Searching void spaces should be done immediately after the surface victims have been removed, or simultaneously if sufficient personnel are available.

Question 13

13. Regarding the use of shoring at collapse operations, it would be incorrect to state that? (Collapse—11.5)A. First arriving units may be forced to perform emergency shoringB. Cutting of load bearing members should only be performed by Rescue or Squad companiesC. Once a Rescue Company is on-scene, the installation of additional shoring should generally be left to them, supported by Squad Companies and SOC Support LaddersD. Buildings with no civilian life hazard will never be shored by the FDNY

Answer 13

13. D• Buildings in which there is no civilian life hazard will only be shored if the shoring can be safely installed at minimal risk to members, and where there is a substantial property risk that can be safeguarded by the shoring.

Question 14

14. Regarding Selected Debris Removal and General Debris Removal in the Collapse Rescue Operation, it would be incorrect to state? (Collapse—11.6, 11.13.2, 12.1)A. Heavy demolition equipment is forbidden during the General Debris Removal stageB. During selected debris removal, victim removal requiring tunneling, trenching, or cuttingthrough supporting members should only be performed by collapsed trained members of SOCC. The FDNY will remain at the collapse site until the debris removal phase is complete or until the IC is reasonably certain all victims have been removedD. An FDNY watchline shall be maintained as long as there are personnel operating in the debris pile for search or investigative purposes

Answer 14

14. AHeavy demolition equipment (cranes, bulldozers, etc.) is forbidden during the Selected Debris Removal stage. Although a manual operation is very time consuming, it is necessary if survivors are expected. Extreme caution must be exercised when operating tools to avoid injuring trapped victims.

Question 15

15. Rescue paramedics must be given access to a patient as soon as there is access to an exposed arm, leg, or even the neck in order to treat for crush syndrome or other life-threatening injuries by establishing an IV. This should be done when a victim appears to have suffered serious injuries or has been pinned for more than? (Collapse—11.6, 11.8.3)A. 30 minutes B. 45 minutes C. 60 minutes D. 90 minutes

Answer 15

15. C• If the victim has been pinned for more than one hour or appears to have suffered serious injuries, a Rescue Paramedic must be given access to the patient as soon as there is access, in order to treat for crush syndrome or other life threatening injuries.

Question 16

16. The Search Assessment Marking System assists the FDNY in searches of large areas, very large buildings, multiple buildings or large debris piles at collapse sites. Regarding this system, it would be incorrect to state? (Collapse Add 2—1.5, 1.6)A. Do not paint a square box around the markingB. Markings should be 2’ x 2’, forming the letter “X” when completed, using lime yellowcolored reflective spray paintC. As new voids become accessible, new markings should be made and old markings labeled with paint “OLD”D. Ladder 14 has entered and is still searching is indicated by: LAD /E. Ladder 14 has exited the structure or area is indicated by: LAD 14 X

Answer 16

16. CNew markings should be made and old markings crossed out.

Question 17

17. Regarding the quadrants (Top, Right, Bottom, Left) which point is inaccurate? (Add 2Pg 3) XA. The top quadrant should indicate the military time (1400 hours) and date (11/01/02) the company/team left the structure or areaB. The right quadrant should indicate any personal hazards (rats) affecting units or teamsC. The bottom quadrant should indicate the number of live and / or expired victims2-Live3-DeadD. In the bottom quadrant, indicate “None” if there are no victims

Answer 17

17. D4-6 Bottom Quadrant: Number of live and/or expired victims still inside the structure/area. ‘0’ = No Victims

Question 18

18. When utilizing the victim location marking system, a large V (for victim) is painted as drawn below. Which point(s) would be correct about using this marking? (Collapse Add 2 5.2– 5.4) VA. The V should be painted 2’ high near the location of a known or potential victimB. Add an arrow above the V pointing towards the victim’s location if their location is not clearly visible or if not immediately nearbyC. Paint a circle around the V when the victim is confirmed alive - either visually, vocally or by hearing sounds that indicate a high probability the victim is aliveD. Paint a horizontal line through the middle of the V when the victim is confirmed deceasedE. Paint a vertical line through the confirmed victim mark after the victim(s) have been removed from the specific location of the marking

Answer 18

18. A, D, E5-2 A large V , (for Victim) approximately 2’ in height is painted near the location of a known or potential victim. An arrow may need to be added next to the V pointing towards the victim’s location if not clearly visible or if not immediately nearby.5-3 A circle is painted around the “V” when the location of a potential victim has been confirmed, either visually, vocally or by hearing sounds that would indicate a high probability of a victim.5-4 Paint a horizontal line through the middle of the V when the victim is confirmed deceased.5-5 A vertical line is painted through the confirmed victim mark after the victim/s have been removed from the specific location identified by the marking. This marking should not be taken to mean the secondary search is complete, rather it means that all victims that have previously been located have been removed. Given that these markings will be used on piles of debris in a heavily collapsed structure, a secondary search of that area will not be complete until all debris in the area is removed and examined. Continuous examination of the debris will be required as further demolition progresses.

Question 19

19. The painting of a vertical line through the confirmed victim mark after the victim(s) have been removed from the specific location of the marking is done to indicate to other members that all secondary searches are complete at that location or sector. (Collapse Add 2 5.5)A Agree or D Disagree

Answer 19

19. D5-5 A vertical line is painted through the confirmed victim mark after the victim/s have been removed from the specific location identified by the marking. This marking should not be taken to mean the secondary search is complete, rather it means that all victims that have previously been located have been removed. Given that these markings will be used on piles of debris in a heavily collapsed structure, a secondary search of that area will not be complete until all debris in the area is removed and examined. Continuous examination of the debris will be required as further demolition progresses.

Question 20

20. Regarding the use of the Con Ed Vacuum Truck at collapse and trench operations, it would be incorrect to state that the Vacuum Truck? (Add 4—1, 3, 4)A. Has a capacity of 10 cubic yardsB.

Has a high-pressure water system rated at 700 psi that can break up hardened materialD. Responds automatically on trench rescue operations, a 10-60 and a 10-60 Code 1E. Requires the SOC Compressor unit to also respond when the Vacuum Truck is requested, as the SOC Compressor Unit carries extension hoses and other equipment to supplement the vacuum truck

Answer 20

20. D3. RESPONSE• 10-60 Code 1• Trench rescue operations• As requested by the Incident CommanderIncident Commanders must make early recognition of the need and request response of the vacuum truck via the borough dispatcher.

Question 21

21. A Battalion Chief is supervising the use of the Con Ed Vacuum Truck at a collapse operation. In this situation, it would be incorrect for the Chief to know that? (Collapse—Add 4–2)A. Con Ed employees will operate the vacuum truck if the area is safeB. A FDNY HT equipped member shall be positioned with the Con Ed employee at all timesC. SOC members are trained to operate this equipment if the work area is too hazardous for Con Ed employeesD. Con Ed employees will operate the suction hose at the extrication site only if the area is safe

Answer 21

21. DAccess lanes must be established at the incident to facilitate easy response and positioning of the vacuum tuck. Con Edison employees shall operate the vacuum truck if the work area is safe. An FDNY HT equipped member shall be positioned with the Con Edison employee at all times. This will facilitate communication between the truck operator and members working at the extrication site. SOC members have also been trained to operate this equipment if the work area is determined to be hazardous for Con Edison Employees. FDNY members will operate the suction hose at the extrication site.

Question 22

1. You are a Battalion Chief working in Battalion 9 at 2100 hours, when a Class E alarm for a High-Rise Office building is received and the housewatch announces that Engine 54 and Battalion 9 respond. Ladder 4 has just called “CHOW” as you watch Engine 54 board their apparatus and respond with a regularly assigned Captain. In this situation, it would be correct for you to think that? (ABC 5-94—2.3, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6)A. You have the discretion to either respond or monitor the alarm, even if there is a CIDS message indicating a minimum response of 3 Engines, 2 Ladders and a BCB. If you decide to monitor the alarm, the dispatcher shall be notifiedC. If no preliminary report is received from Engine 54 within 10 minutes, you must then respondD. If Engine 54 transmits a 10-35, Battalion 9 will be responsible for the NYFIRS reportE. While monitoring the alarm, if another alarm is received requiring a structural response, where you are the nearest available Battalion Chief, you will be directed by the dispatcher to respond to that subsequent alarm

Answer 22

1. D2.3Class E alarms from certain occupancies require a minimum response of 3 Engines, 2 Ladders and a Battalion Chief. This response will be indicated in the CIDS message when a Class E alarm is received for these occupancies.3.3 If the Battalion Chief responds to the E or J alarm, the dispatcher shall be notified.3.5If the preliminary report from the assigned Engine or Ladder Company is not received in a reasonable time frame (5-10 minutes), Chief Officers monitoring the radio shall contact the dispatcher and request a preliminary report. When the report from the Engine or Ladder Company indicates that the alarm is for a 10-35 or 10-92 and such signal is transmitted, the Battalion Chief will return to service.3.7If a subsequent alarm is received while the Battalion Chief is monitoring a Class E or J alarm, the Battalion shall NOT be directed to respond unless:

Question 23

2. A Battalion Chief is working on a day tour in Battalion 9 when a Class J alarm is received for a hotel and Battalion 9 and Engine 54 are assigned to respond.

(ABC-5-94 - 1.3 Add 1—3, 4, 5)A. Because the BC is responding to the alarm, the dispatcher should be notifiedB. Class J alarms may be monitored by a Battalion Chief only from 0700-1900 hoursC. Engine 54 should enter the building with forcible entry tools, but no rolled up lengthsD. If the alarm does reset, the Engine Officer should remain approximately 2-3 minutes to assure that the reset holdsE. If the alarm panel does not reset or is again activated, the box should be transmitted.

Answer 23

2. E1.3The same response policy described in section 1.2 shall be assigned to hotel occupancies (Class J Alarms) from 0700 hours through 1900 hours citywide. From 1900 to 0700 hours, units will be assigned to Class ”J” alarms as per box assignments.3.Members entering the building shall be equipped with their personal protective equipment and SCBA.

Question 32

1. Mayday transmissions and the IC’s response or actions to take when hearing a Mayday are a critical tactic. In regards to this, it would be correct to think? (Indicate all of the correct choices) (Comm 9—Pgs 3–8)A. For a “Collapse Imminent”, the IC should respond “Command to all units, Get out of the building, Get out of the building”, repeating the message as often as necessaryB. A Roll Call is required for both “Collapse Imminent” or “Collapse Has Occurred” situations.C. When a member is found unconscious, the Mayday transmitted should be “Mayday, Injured Member” followed by the members Location, Unit, Identity, Injuries, and Resources needed.D. For “Missing Member” situations, the IC needs to know the member’s: last known location or reference point, assigned unit, name, and assignment. The IC should assign units on scene to conduct a search and contact units on scene by HT to attempt to locate the missing memberE. A member who locates a Missing Member should immediately press the missing member’s EAB to identify them through EFAS

Answer 32

1. B, C (Fire tech answers says A, B but answers are pasted here)4. The IC shall then transmit:”Command to all units, MAYDAY, GET OUT OF BUILDING, GET OUT OF BUILDING” and repeat this message as often as necessary. All members shall immediately evacuate the building on transmission of this message.A. “Engine 222 to Command, MAYDAY-INJURED MEMBER or MAYDAY UNCONSCIOUS MEMBER” and provides the following information: Location Unit and identity of the injured member Nature and extent of the injuries, if known Resources needed3. The member transmitting the MAYDAY shall respond in the following format: “Ladder 11 to Command, MAYDAY- MISSING MEMBER” andprovides the following information: Last known location or reference point Unit the member is working in that tour Name of affected member Assignment (e. g., roof, nozzle)”5. A member who locates a missing member shall immediately press their Emergency Alert Button, and then contact the IC in the following format: “MAYDAY-MAYDAY-MAYDAY, Ladder 43 FAST OV to command, MAYDAY.

Question 33

2. Urgent transmissions and the IC’s response or actions to take when hearing an Urgent are a critical tactic. In regards to this, it would be incorrect to think? (Comm 9—Pgs 9–12)A. An IC hearing “Urgent 10-70” on the HT by an ECC must transmit an “Urgent 10-70” to the borough dispatcherB. When a 10-70 situation is resolved, the IC must announce over both the HT and Department radio the fact that a positive water source has been attainedC. When the IC orders an interior attack discontinued in order to institute an exterior attack, members must withdraw and prepare for a roll callD. When there is a loss of water at an incident, the IC shall contact all of the units affected and units operating in positions above the water loss to insure they are aware of the problem. Units above the water loss must be backed out and a roll call conductedE. Anytime a change in conditions will severely impact an operation or the Safety of Members, an Urgent shall be transmitted specifying the location of the problem, the nature of the problem and what members or units are affected.

Answer 33

2. DC. Interior Attack Discontinued1. When the IC decides to discontinue an interior attack and institute an exterior attack, the IC shall immediately press their Emergency Alert Button, and then transmit a message in the following format:”URGENT-URGENT-URGENT, Command to all units, URGENT -ALL UNITS - URGENT, BACK OUT, BACK OUT.”On transmission of this message, all units shall withdraw from the building.

Question 34

3. An IC is operating at a fire where a Mayday is transmitted and heard by the IC, however there was no EAB activation, so the radio traffic has not stopped. The IC wants to gain control of the HT radio to alert all units there was a Mayday transmitted. In this situation, she presses her EAB to utilize the Emergency Alert Tone and states “Urgent-Urgent-Urgent Command to all units Urgent, All Handie-Talkie transmissions are to cease”. In this situation, the IC’s actions were? (Comm 9 Pg 13—9.4.3)A. Correct or B. Incorrect?

Answer 34

3. A9.4.3Incident Commander Use of the Handie Talkie NetworkThe IC may want to gain control of the HT network in order to alert all units to a MAYDAY or URGENT message.The IC can gain control of the HT network by utilizing the Emergency Alert tone created when the Emergency Alert Button is activated. This Emergency Alert tone shall be followed by the message URGENT-URGENT-URGENT COMMAND to ALL UNITS - URGENT, ALL HANDIE TALKIE TRANSMISSIONS ARE TO CEASE”. All units upon hearing a “MAYDAY” or “URGENT” transmission and/or the Emergency Alert Tone shall cease radio transmissions until advised otherwise.NOTE:If the IC uses the emergency alert tone to gain control of the HT network, after transmission to units, the emergency alert tone must be deactivated either by depressing and holding the Emergency Alert Button for approximately 2 seconds until a reset tone is heard or turn the HT off and then back on. Failure to deactivate will cause transmissions by the IC to be preceded by the letters EM which may cause confusion. Upon conclusion of the IC transmission, he/she may notify units to, Resume Normal Handie Talkie Transmissions.

Question 35

4. Regarding the use of the “Emergency Alert Tone Assisted Rescue” procedure to locate a missing, lost or trapped member, it would be correct to state that? (Comm 9 Pg 9-13)A. The IC should announce over the HT that an “Emergency Alert Tone Assisted Rescue will be implemented” and designate a secondary tactical channelB. All members, except the member designated to produce the emergency alert tone, are to operate on the secondary tactical channelC. The member designated to produce the emergency alert tone should be located remote from the ICPD. The EAB should be pressed every few seconds to transmit the tone, then pausing to allow for the possibility of responseE. When the tone is heard indicating the vicinity of the member, the emergency alert tone should be discontinued

Answer 35

4. D9.5.2 IC announces over HT that an “Emergency Alert Tone Assisted Rescue” is to be implemented and designates a new primary tactical channel.9.5.3 All members, except the member designated to produce the emergency alert tone, are to operate on the newly designated primary tactical channel.9.5.5 Designated member should be located remote from search activity to avoid confusion among searchers.9.5.10 When the definite location of member has been determined, the emergency alert tone should be discontinued to lessen the discomfort of trapped member and to enable communication between this member and searchers

Question 39

8. A Battalion Chief wants to go from an interior attack to an exterior attack and then conduct an Emergency Roll Call at a heavy fire in a commercial building. In this situation, the BC should be aware of all of the following points except? (Comm 9 Add 2—1.4, 1.5, 3.3, 3.6)A. When an BC wishes to take control of the HT frequency, use of the Cross Band Repeater installed in some Battalion vehicles will provide the highest wattageB. It is imperative the BC is forceful when transmitting and taking control of the HT network.C. During the Roll Call, officers will answer stating the number of firefighters they responded with and account only for the members within sight or hearing without using their HTD. During the Roll Call: Engines, Squads and HMTU members should always answer according to their Engine position assignments. Ladder and Rescue members should always answer according to their Ladder position assignments.

Answer 39

8. A3.3 Utilize the POST radio on the tactical channel (45 watt transmissions).3.4 Use the UHF radio in a Battalion or Division vehicle on the tactical channel (40 watt transmissions).3.5 Use the Cross Band Repeater radio installed in some Battalion Vehicles on the tactical channel (40 watt transmission).

Question 40

Use the following scenario to answer questions 9 - 10:A Battalion Chief is ordered to conduct an Emergency Roll Call on Channel HT-1 at a 3-alarm fire where there was a Mayday for a “Collapse Occurred” at a taxpayer fire.9. The BC would be correct to know that she? (Comm 9—Add 2—4.1—4.4)A. Must have an updated list of all companies on the scene. An updated printout can only be obtained from only Battalion and Division MDTs, using the Incident History functionB. Can obtain a pre-printed Emergency Roll Call form from any apparatus on sceneC. Should conduct the Roll Call on HT-1, with another member assisting who monitors the HT-1 and records members by position as they replyD. The Roll Call Officer, and the member assisting, should be in an area near the ICPE. The Roll Call should preferably begin with the first alarm units

Answer 40

9. C4.1 The member conducting the emergency roll call must have an updated list of all companies on the scene. An updated printout can be accessed from any apparatus MDT on the scene4.3 Every Battalion and Division vehicle has a pad of pre-printed Emergency Roll Callforms.4.4 The RCO and the member assisting and filling out the pre-printed form, should be in an area away from the Command Post. This will reduce radio feedback, thereby putting the roll call team in a better position to hear and talk over the HT roll call frequency.4.6 Each incident will determine which companies should be called first when the emergency roll call is being conducted.Example: A “Mayday for collapse occurred” would require the RCO to begin with the company operating in the sector that the collapse occurred, regardless of when the company arrived or was assigned. An “Urgent transmitted for a water loss” might require the RCO to begin the emergency roll call with companies operating on the fire floor or floor above the water loss, depending on the situation. The RCO will have toevaluate the situation to determine which company will be called first.

Question 41

Use the following scenario to answer questions 9 - 10:A Battalion Chief is ordered to conduct an Emergency Roll Call on Channel HT-1 at a 3-alarm fire where there was a Mayday for a “Collapse Occurred” at a taxpayer fire.10. The Roll Call Officer would be incorrect to believe that? (Comm 9 Add 2—4.10, 5.4, 5.8)A. If a ladder company officer does not answer when called, call the Can or Irons FF, or a Sector Chief supervising that sector. If none of these members can account for that officer and he has not responded, notify the IC.B. When a ladder has 4 firefighters, the officer must indicate which position (OV, Roof) they are riding without.C. When calling individual firefighters (Control FF, Roof FF…), the Roll Call Officer should ask “Roll Call Officer to L123 Roof, what is your location”D. When finished with an individual unit (E234) notify the Company Officer “All members of E234 have been accounted for”

Answer 41

10. A4.10 If a company officer does not answer when called, the RCO will either call a firefighter operating with that officer or call another company operating in the immediate area of that officer, in an attempt to locate them. For ladder companies this would be the Can orIrons firefighter; for engine companies, the Nozzle or Back-up firefighter should be able to account for their officer. If these members are unable to account for the officer and the officer still has not responded to the roll call, the RCO must notify the IC, who in turnmust take the required actions for a Missing Member as outlined in Firefighting Procedures, Managing Incidents Involving Members in Distress. The RCO must thencontinue the emergency roll call in the event there are additional missing or distressed members.

Question 42

11. Regarding the Electronic Fireground Accountability System (EFAS), it would be incorrect to state that? (Comm 9 Add 3—1.4, 2.1, 3.1.1, 3.1.3)A. EFAS is connected to Starfire, thus units assigned on the response ticket will be displayed as “Assigned Units”B. The EFAS start up is delayed 1 minute to allow Starfire to connect. Therefore, do not attempt to select the EFAS button during that time.C. The first arriving Battalion Firefighter shall monitor EFAS immediately upon arrival until relieved by an EFAS trained member of the FAST Unit or the Division Back Up FFD. The member monitoring EFAS shall call the IC by stating “EFAS to Command”

Answer 42

11. C2.1 It shall be the responsibility of the first arriving Battalion Firefighter, after performing their primary duties, to monitor EFAS until relieved by an EFAS trained member of the FAST Unit.

Question 43

12. When a member hits their EAB for a Mayday, which of the following will happen on EFAS? (Indicate all the correct points) (Comm 9 Add 3—5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.1.3)A. The members identity line on EFAS will be highlightedB. The company, position and name of the member will be listed in red in both the “Radio Status” and “Mayday” area.C. The MDT will automatically switch from Starfire to EFAS on any vehicle with EFAS capabilityD. A hard copy will automatically print on the MDT showing the members Company, Position and time of the MaydayE. When the members HT is reset (EAB is cleared), the highlighted identity line in both the “Radio Status” and “Mayday” area will change from red to yellow

Answer 43

12. A, B, C, D5.1.3 The member’s identity line will remain red in EFAS until the Emergency Alert is resolved and the HT is reset. Once cleared, the member’s highlighted identityline will change from red (active) back to white in the “RADIO STATUS” area. The member’s highlighted identity line will change from red (active) to yellow(cleared) and will remain in the “MAYDAYS” area. (Figure 8)

Question 44

13. Which of the following channels can EFAS monitor? (Comm 9 Add 3—6.1)A. Only 1-16 B. Only Channels 1-16, plus NYMAC C. Only Channels 1-16 plus UTACD. Channels 1-16 plus NYMAC and UTAC

Answer 44

13. D6.1 EFAS defaults to Tactical Channel 1. It has the capability of monitoring any of the 16 Channels, including UTAC and NYMAC channels. However, it can only monitor one channel at a time, therefore, a separate Battalion/Division/EFAS equipped vehicle inconjunction with an EFAS trained member is required for each channel in use e.g., primary tactical, secondary tactical, primary command.

Question 45

14. You are a covering Chief working in Battalion 54 who responds to a fire reported in a PD. On arrival at the scene you decide to utilize the Battalion Portable EFAS Tablet. You would be correct to think the Portable EFAS may be? (Indicate all the correct choices) (Comm 9 Add 3—9.1—9.5, 9.6)A. Brought from the Battalion vehicle to the Command Post by the Battalion Aide.B. Used in lieu of the EFAS in the Battalion vehicle at the scene of a 10-75 or greater under certain conditionsC. Used at a small-scale incident where no FAST Unit is assignedD. Used at the scene of a 10-75 or greater to provide early monitoring of EFAS by the IC until the Battalion Vehicle EFAS can be monitoredE. Used at the ICP to monitor additional HT channels

Answer 45

14. C, D, E9.2 The IC can remove the tablet and radio from the Battalion vehicle and bring it to the Command Post. This will provide the IC an additional safety measure to account for all members operating at a fire, emergency or other incident where its use may be beneficial.9.3 The Portable EFAS does not replace the current procedures where EFAS is monitored in the Battalion Vehicle by the Battalion Firefighter after performing his/her primary duties, until relieved by an EFAS trained member of the FAST Unit.

Question 46

15. Battalion Chiefs reporting in to a multiple alarm fire should know that they should bring their Portable EFAS with them? (Indicate all correct choices) (Comm 9 Add 3—9.6)A. To the Command PostB. When assigned a SectorC. When assigned a BranchD. When assigned a Group

Answer 46

15-A, B, C, D.  Chief Officers shall bring their Portable EFAS when assigned to a Branch/Sector/Group for better accountability of units operating in those areas. Thiswill also allow accountability of members operating in areas that are out of range of Battalion and Division vehicles e.g. High Rise, Hospitals, and Commercial Buildings.

Question 47

16. A Battalion Chief operating at a fire hears an EAB activation that is NOT immediately followed by an emergency transmission. In this situation, the IC would be correct to state? (Comm 9 Add 4—4.1, 4.2)A. “Command to L99 Roof, do you have an Urgent message”B. “Command to EFAS, who activated their EAB”C. “Command to member who activated their EAB, was that an inadvertent activation”D. “Command to member who activated their EAB, go ahead with your Mayday”

Answer 47

16. B4.2 When an EAB activation is not immediately followed by a MAYDAY or URGENT message, the IC must identify and contact the member. It is critical to quickly determine the nature of the EAB activation so that if necessary, communication and/or assistance can be effected without delay. The EAB activating member shall be identified by any of the following methods: The IC can obtain the transmitting member’s 7 digit Internal Radio Code. When the member’s ID is known, they shall be contacted as follows: “Command to Ladder 123 Roof - do you have an emergency?” The IC can contact the member monitoring EFAS:“Command to EFAS- who activated their EAB?” Where appropriate, the IC can attempt to directly contact the member: “Command to the member who activated the EAB - do you have an emergency?”

Question 48

17. Members drilling on the EAB button may use what channel for drill purposes? (Comm 9 Add 4—5.2)A. Channels 3-8, after monitoring it for 2-3 minutes prior to useB. Channels 4-8, after monitoring it for 2-3 minutes prior to useC. Channels 6-8, after monitoring it for 3-4 minutes prior to useD. Channels 5-7, after monitoring it for 3-4 minutes prior to use

Answer 48

17. B5.2 The following applies when activating the EAB for drill purposes: Use any of the handie-talkie channels 4 through 8. Monitor the channel for 2-3 minutes prior to activating the EAB to ensure the selected channel is not already in use.Note: Channels 4-8 can be in use at any time for numerous purposes. Examples of such use include tactical training, full scale exercises, secondary command channel activation, etc. Ensure all HTs are switched back to HT 1 upon completion of the drill.

Question 49

1. A Battalion Chief operating at a commercial building that has an Open Web Steel Bar Joist roof should be aware of all of the following except? (Dunn Ch 9)A. When a roof is being cut, sparks from the metal cutting metal help identify a steel bar joist roofB. Horizontal ventilation of windows and doors in advance of hoselines is preferred to vertical roof ventilationC. The steel bar joist may weaken and fail before the roof deck shows any indication of collapseD. The steel bar joist is superior in withstanding high temperatures for longer periods before it fails as compared to combustible wood joist systems

Answer 49

1. DBoth are 5-10 minutes of fire exposure.

Question 50

2. Regarding solid wood joist roofs, it would be incorrect to state that? (Dunn Ch 9)A. The roof deck will soften first and serve as a warning of an impending serious joist failureB. Brick cavity (restrained) roof beams support more weight near their encased ends than in their unsupported centers. Thus, walking close to the parapet wall may provide support on a fire-weakened roofC. Unrestrained roof beams (corbel shelf or fire cut beams) are less stable under fire conditions than brick cavity beamsD. Most H-type apartments have roof joists that are restrained beams

Answer 50

2. DMost H type apartment roof joists are resting on a corbel shelf.

Question 51

3. Members working on a roof are ordered to evacuate the roof immediately. In this situation, if there are two paths of escape, they should take the safest one, even if it is longer. (Dunn Ch 9)A. Agree or D. Disagree?

Answer 51

3. A

Question 52

4. Regarding the use of lightweight steel roofs, it is incorrect to state that? (Dunn Ch 10)A. It requires more than 2400 degrees F to melt steelB. When flames reach 1000-1100 degrees F, steel starts to distort and lose strength. The failure temperature is in the range of 1000-1100 degrees FC. Thin steel (Open web bar joist) can reach the critical temperature of 1100 degrees F much faster than thick solid steel (I-beams)D. Steel has less tensile and compression strength than wood or masonry

Answer 52

4. DSteel has greater tensile and compression strength than wood or masonry.
