20
Q

What should the ISO do if he she feels that the IC’s IAP does not fie the incident

A

Develop a way to reduce the risk

21
Q

22
Q

Where can fire spread quickly before a collapse in the strip mall

23
Q

Which type of principle hazards at a structure fire would include back draft

A

Hostile fire events

24
Q

Which type of rescue profile is assumed when there is black fire at a structure fire

25
How should a request to increase the size of the RIC be done
ISO to IC face to face
26
What should happen to the pace of the operation once an all clear has beeb issued at a structure fire
Reduce it
27
What will exponentially add to risk taking at the structural fire scene
Unstable and changing quickly
28
How many people are needed for a simply low hazard single family dwelling fire per NFPA 1710
14
29
What must the ISO have to determine resource effectiveness
IAP
30
As a starting place, the ISO uses reading smoke, building, and hazardous energy skill sets to define the incident environment in three dimensions
The principal hazard, environmental integrity, and the effects of the surrounding element
31
Two components, environmental integrity and resource effectiveness
Can help minimize risk taking
32
Environmental integrity can be defined
as the status of the building conditions, and hazards in terms of stability, and time.
33
Using RIC to help increase rapid escape options
Is a preventative safety measure
34
Principal hazards at structure fires typically fall into general categories
Hostile fire event Building geometry Collapse potential Hazards energy
