A

Used for moderateY intense fires
Starting at an anchor point, on one or both sides of the plank of the fire and work towards the head can be worked from both sides

Q

Pincer attack

A

Similar to a flank attack, it’s a tack from from two sides of the fire, with a secure anchor point, working towards the perimeter, requires two or more crews can we start at the heel

A

Starting at the front of the fire, moving towards the fingers, no anchor point very dangerous, does limit the spread

Q

Tandem attack

A

2 crews working together can be any

Q

Disadvantages of an indirect attack

Q

Booster lines

A

Or hardline may be used for attack and small, very low intensity, fire, or mop up
A limited volume of water
Great amount of friction loss
Should not be more than a few hundred metres from the apparatus

Q

Progressive hose lay (extended)

A

Used for a quick attack on fire from a secure anchor, point usually a road

Consists of a hose lay with a double shut off Weibo that are inserted in the main line of intervals and lateral lines, and a run from wise to the fire edge

Study These Flashcards
A

Made up of five different resources

25
The home ignition zone extends 30-60 m around the home
26
Structural triage. Categories.
It’s a little or no attention for now Needs protection but savable Cannot be saved
27
Factors affecting triage
Structure Fuel Fire behaviour Resources Fire, fighter, safety
28
Weather influences
Relative humidity below 25% Temperatures above 85° or 49 Celsius
29
Structural situations that shout watch out
Wood construction Flammable vegetation mission, 30 feet or 9 m of the structures Strong winds exceeding 25 km an hour Emotional residence
30
How much water do you reserve for cruise protection?
100 gallons or 400 L of water
31
When construction not be saved
Spot fires are igniting all around Water supply in streamflow will not continue Safety Interior rooms are involved The roof is more than 1/4 6mm or the following structures are starting on Potter
32
Instrument fuels
Impossible is located near the structure that sometimes compare the fire directly to the structure Piles of wood Decks Fences
33
Pets and live stock
Animals will generally move away from the fire may need to cut the fence or get assistance from local animal control
34
Class a foam
Does not evaporate as quickly Reduces the surface tension of water More visible from the air in the ground
35
Wet foam A
Let’s foam concentrate Drains quickly and runs off surfaces
36
Foam A dripping
More from concentrate and drips off services when applied
37
Dry foam A
Hi amount of foam concentrate stick to surfaces like shaving cream
38
Fire gel
Is added to water and transfers water into a fire, preventing and heat absorbing gel
39
Structure wrap
Made out of material similar to fire shelter can be reused
40
Forward pass
Apply just enough water to stop the fires rate of spread quickly as possible
41
Second pass
Is performed immediately upon completion of the first forward pass, and begins to exchange the controlling by actually putting the edge out
42
Cycle of water effectiveness
 The period of time between the application, and the complete evaporation of water
43
When should foam not be used?
Possibility of an exit Critical or sense of water source
44
proper Nozzling. Technique
Aiming the nozzle with one hand, and placing the other hand on the hose, a short distance behind the nozzle, then making a slight back-and-forth motion with the hand that is on the hose
45
Blown coupling
Stop the end of the hose of the next coupling proximately 2 to 2.5 m or 6 1/2 feet to 8 feet and then used to metal post patches to secure the hose.
46
The person packing the hose must
Indicate the type of Jose contains How it was packed Who packed it
47
Sprinklers
Valuable tools and wildfires can leave unattended for over a period of Sprinklers are primarily used to protect structure, sis, value certain by wildfire
48
Closed the loop
Sprinklers should be set up in a close loop configuration sure water pressure is machine to each one the main loop is 1 1/2 inch hose with five eights post supplying the sprinklers that run at a shape loop in the hoses
49
How many sprinklers should be rubbed off each thief
No more than two
50
two factors that contribute to pressure loss in a hose lay
Friction loss Head or back pressure
51
How much psi a back pressure per foot of elevation, Rise in elevation
1/2psi
52
The most trouble free yet most frequently overlooked water delivery system
Gravity
53
Tandem pump set up
To increase pressure over a long hose lay , or steep set of slopes
54
Parallel pump set up
two pumps are set up at a water source and discharge hoses are connected to a single hose line using a Y this set up increases volume, medium and insures water delivery if one of the pumps fails
55
Relay pump system
One pump is set up from a source to a portable tank and the other pump and set up from the portable tank to the hose line
56
Spotting zone
Most interface buyers will put you in a spot in zone Sparks in numbers that are carried by the wind which start new fires be on the sound of direct of the main fire
57
Does type one or type two of natural resource typing have a greater capability
Type 1
58
Tandem attack
Two or more crews doing something together, including first attack yeah, an attack
