Residential Structure Fire
An IC must always match standard (1.) — to standard (2.) — to achieve standard (3.) —.
- actions
- conditions
- outcomes

- What are the five components of the Strategic Decision Making Model?
- Critical Fire Ground Factors (BOA FLARS)
- Risk Management Plan
- Strategy (Offensive or Defensive)
- Initial Action Plan (IAP)
- Tactical Priorities

Residential Structure Fire
Electing the Offensive Strategy is synonymous with electing to go (1.) —. Conversely, electing the Defensive Strategy is synonymous with electing to (2.) —.
- inside
- stay outside

Residential Structure Fire
The inital IAP generally consists of (1.) — and is reported on the tacitical channel as the (2.) — in the (3.) — format.
- a conversation within the cab (specific crew assignments)
- Initial Radio Report (IRR)
- Task - Location - Objective (TLO)
e.g., “E60 will be stretching a line to Alpha for Fire Control.”

Residential Structure Fire
Amongst the Critical Fire Ground Factors, which is the most variable?
- Fire
“Fire Ground Ops Residential” Powerpoint, CPFR
Residential Structure Fire
In most cases the quickest, most direct route to the fire is through the (1.) —.
- front of the building (i.e., Alpha)

Residential Structure Fire
Once a crew is assigned to an On-Deck position they are first and foremost a (1.) — until they are assigned to any other task.
- Rapid Intervention Team (RIT)
AKA Rapid Intervention Crew (RIC)
“Fire Ground Ops Residential” Powerpoint, CPFR
Residential Structure Fire
- With Fire Control declared as the IAP, what should be done with the IAP by the IC if evidence is discovered of an entrapped victim (e.g., a credible report of a person inside the structure, a person seen in a window or on an upper deck or balcony, or calls for help are heard from inside)?
- Declare a “change to the IAP” and identify the new IAP as “Rescue”
CPFR does not use the term “mode” when referring to Rescue (i.e., we do not declare Rescue Mode).

Residential Structure Fire
WAC 296-305-05002 states that initial attack operations must be organized to ensure that if, on arrival at the emergency scene, responders find a known rescue situation where immediate action could prevent the loss of life or serious injury, such action must only be permitted when no less than (1.) — personnel are present and equipped to provide emergency assistance. (2.)-(number)- of these personnel must be equipped to provide emergency assistance or rescue of the team entering the hot zone. This is known as the (3.)— rule.
- Three (3)
- One (1)
- Two-In / One-Out

Residential Structure Fire
A Mayday is defined as (1.) —.
- Any time a firefighter cannot safely exit an IDLH Hazard Zone
“Fire Ground Ops Residential” Powerpoint, CPFR
Residential Structure Fire
A Mayday is defined as (1.) —.
A Mayday will also be declared for (2.) —.
- anytime a firefighter cannot safely exit an IDLH Hazard Zone
- any unit operating inside of an IDLH Hazard Zone who does not answer their portable radio after three (3) attempts
“Fire Ground Ops Residential” Powerpoint, CPFR
Residential Structure Fire
If the first arriving Engine or Ladder crew encounters a Mayday prior to the arrival of IC2 and Command Transfer, the next arriving (1.) — will report directly to the scene and (2.) —.
- Engine, Ladder or Chief Officer
- begin anew as if Command had never been established (i.e., “reset the play”)
A standard IRR should be communicated with the TLO’s Objective being Firefighter Rescue (Fire Control may also be included).

Building Construction
Name the five basic building construction types.
- Type I - Fire Resistive
- Type 2 II - Non-Combustible / Limited Combustible
- Type III - Ordinary
- Type IV - Heavy Timber
- Type V - Wood Frame
Building Construction
Building types I-V are classifications used in building codes, particularly the (1.) —, to categorize structures based on their construction materials, fire resistance, and other characteristics.
- International Building Code (IBC)
ChatGPT
Building Construction
Type (1.) — buildings are typically wood-framed structures with combustible exterior and interior elements.
- V (Wood Frame)
ChatGPT
Building Construction
- Which era, pre-1970s or post-1970s, is considered to have used construction materials that are more robust and fire-resistant than the other?
- Pre-1970s
ChatGPT
Building Construction
- Which era, pre-1970s or post-1970s, is known for lightweight construction materials such as engineered wood products, lightweight steel, and synthetic building materials?
- Post-1970s
ChatGPT
Building Construction
- Which era of construction, pre-1970s or post-1970s, features open floor plans, larger windows, and interconnected spaces?
- Post-1970s
These design elements can contribute to faster fire spread within the building, potentially creating more challenging fire suppression and evacuation scenarios.

Building Construction
- Which era, pre-1970s or post-1970s, is considered to have used construction techniques that result in more durable and resilient structures?
- Pre-1970s
ChatGPT
Building Construction
(1.) — is an outdated practice which involved constructing the structural framework of a building with long, continuous studs that ran from the foundation to the roof, creating vertical channels through which fire and smoke could rapidly spread in the event of a fire.
- Balloon framing
ChatGPT
Building Construction
(1.) — involves constructing a building one floor at a time, with each floor serving as a platform for building the next. This method reduces the vertical channels present in the walls, making it less conducive to rapid fire spread and providing better fire containment.
