Hoseline operations can be quite complex when operating at a cockloft fire in a taxpayer. Which choice below is incorrect?
A: When fire has control of the cockloft and the need for exposure protection is critical, position the 1st Engine to utilize the deckpipe. In-line pumping will give good positioning and allow room for placement of a Tower Ladder.
B: The 1st Engine should stretch a handline into the most seriously exposed occupancy/building, depending on the life hazard and location and severity of the fire. When exposures are not an immediate problem, then the 1st line should be directed to operate onto the exterior of the fire building to control possible extension.
C: When fire has control of the cockloft, and the need for exposure protection is critical, the 2nd Engine should assist the 1st Engine with the initial line. When staffing and conditions permit, stretch a line into another seriously exposed building/occupancy and operate into the cockloft to confine and extinguish the fire. It may be advisable to skip stores in order to confine a cockloft fire.
D: The 3rd Engine should ensure the sprinkler system is supplied. Stretch a line and operate as ordered by the Incident Commander.
B: The 1st Engine should stretch a handline into the most seriously exposed occupancy/building, depending on the life hazard and location and severity of the fire. When exposures are not an immediate problem, then the 1st line should be directed to operate onto the exterior of the fire building to control possible extension.
Explanation:
When exposures are not an immediate problem, then the 1st line should be stretched into the store under the main body of fire and operated to extinguish the fire.

B: Once a water loss due to a burst length is confirmed by any member, a “Mayday” message shall be transmitted
C: Once the location is verified and after the water has been shut down, there are 2 ways to correct a burst length. 1) If enough hose is available, remove the burst length and reattach the existing couplings. 2) Replace the burst length with a new length of hose, when there is not enough existing hose available in the stretch
D: Once the burst length has been replaced, the engine officer is notified and in turn notifies the ECC to start water. The engine officer must notify the IC and all units on the fire floor and floors above when the problem is corrected
B: Once a water loss due to a burst length is confirmed by any member, a “Mayday” message shall be transmitted

Members of a busy Bronx Ladder Company were discussing the features of large, H-type buildings. Which discussion point was not entirely correct?
A: Steel, when heated, expands and substantial elongation can occur at a fire. This elongation can cause a wall to bulge, move, or even collapse, if the steel is set within the wall.
B: Steel girders are horizontal structural members designed in an “I” shape; they are also known as “I” beams. “I” beams will transmit fire, heat or smoke horizontally into adjoining areas.
C: Steel columns are vertical structural members designed in an “H” shape; they are also known as channel rails. When located in the inner framework of a building, they may extend from the cellar up to the top floor. The space between the enclosing wood framework and column often contains firestopping which prevents heat and smoke from reaching the top floor.
D: Steel, when heated to higher temperatures during a fire, may fail. Floor beams supported by such failing steel will fall to the floor below.
C: Steel columns are vertical structural members designed in an “H” shape; they are also known as channel rails. When located in the inner framework of a building, they may extend from the cellar up to the top floor. The space between the enclosing wood framework and column often contains firestopping which prevents heat and smoke from reaching the top floor.
When located in the inner framework of a building, they may extend from the FIRST FLOOR up into the ROOF SPACE or COCKLOFT AREA. The space between the enclosing wood framework and column leads up into the cockloft and many times SPREADS fire, heat or smoke to this roof space.
