uestion 3:
Two members of a Queens Engine Company were discussing Steam operations when one made an incorrect comment. Indicate the incorrect statement.

A: Steam pressures in generating plants can be as high as 2,000 psi with temperatures reaching 900ºF. Steam pressures in the buried supply piping and in supplied buildings can be as high as 170 psi and temperatures as high as 350ºF.

B: Escaping high pressure steam can hurl debris at 200 mph. Anyone in the vicinity of the break is in danger of being struck by flying, high velocity debris.

Question 4:
You are working in E-100 during the 9x6 tour in the great Borough of Staten Island when you receive a ticket for a brush fire at the intersection of Tompkins ave and Hope lane. Upon arrival, you transmit a 10-75 for a large brush fire exposing several occupied private dwellings. The only tactic you carried out correctly at this incident can be found in which choice?

A: You concentrated on mobility, and avoided hooking up to a hydrant

B:Did not concentrate on mobility. Instead, you hooked up to a hydrant and protected exposures

C: In an attempt to protect exposures, you set up a water curtain using fog lines to break-up the heat waves generated by the fire

D: After protecting exposures (life not in danger), you attacked the fire from the head (front)

Explanation:
AUC 151 Brush Fire Operations
A- First protect exposures…5.4.1
B-5.4.2
C- Attempting to break-up heat waves by using a water curtain is generally ineffective. Instead, utilize streams to apply water directly onto exposures….5.4.17
D- Attack the fire from the flanks and attempt to narrow its spread, eventually heading it off…5.4.9
****If necessary to operate in front of the fire (only to protect life) sufficient charged lines must be in place and capable of protecting operating forces

Question 5:
EMS borough frequencies are available on Engine and Ladder Fire apparatus in their Borough Dispatch radio, allowing Fire units to communicate directly with EMS dispatchers. Of the following choices, which is not in accordance with Department policy?

A: When deemed necessary by the IC, these frequencies may be used to communicate critical information; they are not to be used for routine requests. Transmissions on these frequencies should be in plain speak language (do not use “10” codes, fire jargon, etc).

B: Typically, EMS units operate on one of the EMS borough frequencies. When assigned to a 10-75, EMS units will switch to and monitor EMS-CW1.

C: When transmitting on the EMS citywide frequency, include the unit calling, address of the incident including cross streets (do not use Box Number) and relevant critical information.

D:Direct communication with the EMS citywide dispatcher does not need to be repeated to the FD borough dispatcher; a single transmission on either frequency is appropriate.

Explanation:
Direct communication with the EMS citywide dispatcher DOES NOT relieve units of their responsibility to maintain communications with the FD borough dispatcher as per existing Fire Department procedures. This includes transmitting all appropriate signals, progress reports and unit status as necessary.

Attached to the body is a 3/4" aluminum handle allowing handle allowing members control during operation. The cockloft nozzle is designed to extinguish fires in the confined space of any building with a cockloft. In addition to this information, which choice below has correct information describing the cockloft nozzle? A:When using a cockloft nozzle in a NFP MD, the preferred location for operation is immediately inside the apartment door B: A hole approximately 2'x2' is needed in the ceiling in order for the cockloft nozzle to fit. The clearing between the top of the ceiling joists and the bottom of the roof joists must be a minimum of 4" to enable the operation of the cockloft nozzle C: The cockloft nozzle may be used as the primary attack line in hard to reach places such as a cockloft D:The cockoft nozzle is to be supplied by a 2 1/2" handline. The cockloft nozzle operates with the same pressure normally supplied to a 2 1/2" handline

Explanation: Training Bulletins Tools 7 Data Sheet 18 A- Correct...3.3 B- 3'x3' C- The cockloft nozzle should NEVER be the primary attack line and is only to be used when supported and protected by an additional conventional handline...2.1 D- The cockoft nozzle is to be supplied by a 1 3/4" handline.

Question 28: In Old Law Tenements, the infrequently used procedure of going from front to rear apartments or vice versa through the common partition may be used as an escape route. Which choice below contains incorrect information regarding this procedure? A: To accomplish this use the halligan, hook or axe. This is the order of preference but all can do the job. B:Start low and punch a hole at waist level. The tool is placed in a bay with the bottom anchored against the opposite side of the partition. C:Pull the tool towards yourself using short strokes to snap the lath off on their side. Best results are obtained when the opposite side is kept intact until near side is completely removed. D: With the sole of your boot, kick the lath off the far side of the bay. Then use the Swim Move or Reduced Profile Maneuver to quickly move through the opening.

Explanation: Start low and punch a hole SLIGHTLY BELOW waist level. This places the hole under possible fire stopping between studs. Work is less punishing at this level and it is easier to push the opposite side of the wall off the studs. Lads 3 6.1

Question 29: The incorrect Trenching operation can be found in which choice? A: A trench cut is an opening made the full distance between two exterior walls or other fire stops.

Emphasis must be placed on ventilation holes D: The Roof Sector Supervisor can start a trench cut where he/she sees the necessity for it. Immediate notification to the IC of the operation is mandatory

Explanation: Taxpayers sec 5.6 Trenching does not take place of ventilation holes. A trench may serve as an additional ventilation source. Its main purpose is to prevent the fire from passing that point at which the cut is made Look at choice D...Roof Sector Supervisor can be a Chief or Company Officer...5.4.14

Question 30: Housewatch duty is critical to the proper response of Fire units. Which choice below contains incorrect information regarding the housewatch and use of the Personal Computer/Alarm Teleprinter Selector (PC/ATS)? A: The housewatch has 20 seconds to acknowledge an alarm from the PC/ATS. If there is no response in 20 seconds, the dispatcher will prompt the unit to verify response via the Voice Alarm. B:All units in the same quarters can make themselves AQ simultaneously on the PC/ATS unless units responded to different boxes, units did not go 10-8, or one unit is a relocated unit. C: The VERBAL button on the PC/ATS should be used only if an alarm is within two blocks of a unit's quarters in any direction. If the alarm is more than two blocks away, the unit should respond and give information and location via radio. D:Each unit shall maintain at least three spare rolls of teleprinter paper in the company office. Spare paper rolls may be secured at Battalion headquarters and units in need of teleprinter paper should contact their respective Battalion.

Explanation: Each unit shall maintain at least TWO spare rolls of teleprinter paper in the company office. Spare paper rolls may be secured at Battalion headquarters and units in need of teleprinter paper should contact their respective Battalion. Comm Ch 2 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.4 C, 2.6.1
