Question 2:
All of the following can be found near each “blue light” in the NYC Transit System with the exception of which choice?

A: A fire extinguisher

B: A power removal box

C: An Emergency Evacuation Device

D: A telephone

A

C Explanation:
At “underground” and “grade level” stations, the EED is located at the FIRST Blue Light location south of the southbound platform (typically within 50 feet of the platform end).
The Power Removal Box may not necessarily be located under the blue light, but it will be in proximity to it or across the tracks from it.
There should be a dry chemical extinguisher available to us at the blue light, but this may be missing due to vandals.

Question 3:
You are a Company officer in charge of the FAST Unit that just went 10-84 for a fire on the 3rd floor in the “A” wing of a 6 sty H-type multiple dwelling.

Q

Question 4:
There are several possible removal options for ambulatory victims at an under river rail emergency. Which is not listed correctly?

A: Direct passengers to walk along the track to the nearest station. The decision to move passengers along the track to nearest station will be based on travel distance, patient condition, and the status of 3rd rail power.

B: Evacuating passengers via emergency exit stairs may be a viable choice, depending on depth of the shaft, stairway configuration, and smoke condition. However, emergency exit stairs may be difficult to climb and if a person stops climbing the stairs due to injury or fatigue, the evacuation may be delayed or brought to a standstill.

C: FD members attempting to descend a stairway must first allow civilians to evacuate. When two staircases are present, both shall always be used for evacuation.

D: A Rescue Train would take some time to put in operation. It would be useful to remove victims who are non-ambulatory, or too weak to evacuate on foot. CFR units and/or EMS personnel should initiate treatment onboard the rescue train, conditions permitting.

A

C Explanation:
When two staircases are present, designate an Evacuation Stairway and an Attack Stairway. In some cases, there is another set of emergency exits between the tube and the nearest station. These exits should be evaluated as an alternate or supplemental means of egress.
