A: In addition to evaluating the smoke venting from the building, it is equally important to evaluate the air being pulled into the building which is an indicator of a ventilation-limited fire condition. B: If the smoke and fire are venting upward, horizontally or pulsing from an opening in the building, this indicates the fire conditions may be wind impacted. C: On arrival, a vented fire should not be considered a favorable condition; we must still control, communicate and coordinate ventilation tactics. D: While in the decay stage, the fire may no longer have enough pressure to push smoke from the fire area or building. The assumption that the absence of smoke pushing from a building is a positive sign is not accurate.

Part of an officer’s initial size-up should include a ventilation profile of the fire conditions. The ventilation profile should note several conditions. Which one is described incorrectly? A: In addition to evaluating the smoke venting from the building, it is equally important to evaluate the air being pulled into the building which is an indicator of a ventilation-limited fire condition. B:✔If the smoke and fire are venting upward, horizontally or pulsing from an opening in the building, this indicates the fire conditions may be wind impacted. C: On arrival, a vented fire should not be considered a favorable condition; we must still control, communicate and coordinate ventilation tactics. D: While in the decay stage, the fire may no longer have enough pressure to push smoke from the fire area or building. The assumption that the absence of smoke pushing from a building is a positive sign is not accurate. Explanation: B. If the smoke and fire are venting DOWNWARD, horizontally or pulsing from an opening in the building, this indicates the fire conditions may be wind impacted. FIRE AND SMOKE SHOULD BE VENTING OUTWARDS AND UPWARDS Ventilation 4.1

All firefighters should understand how a “backdraft” occurs. Of the following choices, which is incorrect? A: A backdraft is a deflagration resulting from the sudden introduction of air into a confined space containing oxygen-deficient products of incomplete combustion. B: During a backdraft, the ignition pushes unburned fuel-rich gases ahead of the burning smoke-air mixture as it expands. A large fire ball results as the burning flammable and smoke-air mixture is forced, under pressure, from the compartment. C:✔A backdraft will always lead to a heavy fire condition. D: Backdraft Indicators include no visible/active flaming within the compartment and extremely limited or no ventilation of the fire compartment. Explanation: C) A backdraft may lead to a heavy fire condition OR may expel all of the fire gases, leaving ONLY LOCALIZED COMBUSTION in its path. B Note: The over-pressurization and dramatic fireballs produced during backdraft can result in damage to the structure and extension of the fire beyond the compartment, and pose several risks to firefighters who are in its path.
