4/ Aim nozzle at base of flames

5/ Use sweeping motion

BCF precautions? X13!

Study These Flashcards

Use 1-2 m away from fire

Never hold BCF at an angle greater then 60°

Use of PBE is recommended

BCF is not a cooling agent

Ensure the nozzle points towards fire

Initial discharge can cause paper or fabric fires to scatter

Initial discharge may cause a flare up

Content of the BCF are toxic & can lead to dizziness, difficulty breathing, as well as eye, nose irritation

After discharge it can take up to 7min for agent to dissipate

Smoke should be cleared & signs of bcf content dissipated b4 removal of PBE or removal of oxygen masks

Leaks maybe difficult to detect

Note: if a BCF was found leaking report to CM & FD immediately and treated as a DG

BCF after use?

Study These Flashcards

Replace safety pin

PBE duration?

Study These Flashcards

15min

PBE pre flight check?

FD oxygen three settings?

100% mode: (100% oxygen provided on inhalation, regardless of cabin altitude) Normal mode: ( at lower altitudes ambient air mixed with added oxygen during inhalation as cabin altitude increases percentage of ambient air is reduced until reaches 100% oxygen) Emergency mode: ( provides 100% oxygen at a positive pressure regardless of cabin altitude. Gets rid of smoke/fumes & maintains visual protection)

What cabin pressure altitude will FD get an alert to fit their oxygen masks?

10,000 ft

How many seconds should the FD oxygen mask take to be fitted?
