PART I – TB – FOAM ADD #1 & FOAM EVOLUTIONS #1 - 3:
1. While supervising the proby recharging the AFFF foam can Lieutenant Magaden should
correct which step below? (Foam Add 1)
A. Use a 2 ½ gallon extinguisher reserved for this purpose. Invert the extinguisher and
squeeze the lever to release residual air pressure.
B. Slowly add 10 ounces of 3% AFFF concentrate. Do not mix one type of concentrate with
another.
C. Slowly add more water to reach the 2 ½ gallon mark inside the extinguisher. Replace the
cap and charge with the proper air pressure (100 psi).
D. An extinguisher not used within 6 months after charging must be emptied, refilled, and
recharged.

A
  1. D

NOTE: If an extinguisher is not fully expended, the remaining solution can be held in reserve in
case of re-ignition. Extinguishers that are not fully expended must be re-charged upon
return to quarters. An extinguisher not used within one year after charging must be
emptied, refilled and recharged.

Q
  1. The AFFF foam can has certain uses and limitations that must be considered to ensure the
    safety of the members. Which choice is not in accordance with FDNY procedures?
    (Foam Add 1)
    A. AFFF is superior foam that needs less time and less solution for extinguishment than
    fluoroprotein foam. AFFF floats on flammable liquids.
    B. AFFF can be used on class B fires such as pit fires, car fires, and flowing flammable liquid
    fires; grease fire.
    C. It is necessary to play AFFF against a backboard or the side of the tank to form a film on
    the oil surface. It can also be applied gently to the surface of the oil by placing a finger over the
    nozzle.
    D. The stream should not be driven directly through the surface due to the possibility of
    causing a steam explosion or splashing hot liquid back on the operator.
A
  1. C

2.1 Class B fires.
1) Pit fire.
2) Flowing flammable liquid fire; grease fire.
3) Car fire.
2.2 Special Class A fires.
1) Tire fire.
2) Small rubbish fire.
2.3 It is not necessary to play AFFF against a backboard or the side of the tank to form a film
on the oil surface; it can be applied gently on the surface of the oil by placing a finger
over the nozzle. The stream should not be driven directly through the surface due to the
possibility of causing a steam explosion or splashing hot oil back on the operator.
2.4 Since the reach is 35 to 40 feet, it may be safer and also more effective to begin
discharging AFFF from a distance.

Q
  1. During multi-unit drill members are stretching a foam hand line. Which point listed below
    is incorrect regarding the operation of a foam hand line? (Foam Evol 1)
    A. The officer gives the command to start water and the foam nozzle will be opened fully and
    directed away from the fire.
    B. The ECC will start water and provide 200 psi at the eductor. Make sure there are no kinks
    in the supply line.
    C. When foam is flowing at the nozzle, close the nozzle and then direct the nozzle at the fire
    and open the nozzle. Opening and closing the nozzle helps conserve foam.
    D. To reduce back pressure at the eductor, the nozzle should be operated at or below the level
    of the eductor. In order for the eductor to function properly the nozzle should be fully opened
    when in use.
A
  1. C

2.4 The officer gives the command to start water. The foam nozzle will be
opened fully and directed away from the fire. The ECC will start water and provide
200 psi at the eductor. The member at the eductor places pickup tube into the container.
When foam is flowing at the nozzle, the nozzle is directed at the fire. Avoid opening and
closing the nozzle. This interrupts the educting operations and causes an intermittent
flow of foam.

Q
  1. When using the foam carrier to deliver finished firefighting foam with a hand line and the
    deck gun the 1000 gallon booster tank of fluoroprotein foam concentrate will only last a certain
    amount of time. If the deck gun is using 310 gallons per minute of foam solution and the hand
    line is using 95 gallons per minute of foam solution you should expect the 1000 gallons of foam
    concentrate to last approximately how many minutes? (Foam Evol 2)
    A. 30 minutes
    B. 60 minutes
    C. 80 minutes
    D. 90 minutes
A
  1. C

2.12 For example, a 310 GPM high capacity foam nozzle and a 95 GPM foam nozzle could
supply 405 GPM of solution. Educting at 3% solution, there will be enough concentrate
in the 1000-gallon booster tank for approximately 80 minutes.

    operation as possible. When the foam carrier arrives it will stop at the hydrant where the supply
    pumper is located and remove hoseline from the foam carrier. This hoseline should be what size
    and which end of the hose line should be stretched? (Foam Evol 2)
    A. 2 ½” / Male End
    B. 3 ½” / Female End
    C. 3 ½” / Male End
    D. 2 ½’ / Female End

Q
  1. During a study group concerning the use of the ground mounted foam cannon several
    points were made regarding its use. Since this tool is only carried by certain units many
    firefighters are unfamiliar with its operation at no fault of their own. Which is the only correct
    point listed below? (Foam Evol 3)
    A. Stretch the largest available hose to the foam cannon. Under no condition should the hose
    supplying the foam cannon be less than 3 ½”.
    B. Secure the foam cannon with a utility rope to a substantial object. Stretch 1 ¾” hose from
    the foam carrier to the portable reservoir and secure this hose to the top of the reservoir.
    C. The foam carrier officer (in command of foam operations) shall order the delivery of foam
    concentrate to the portable reservoir once assured that the cannon and the reservoir are in a
    suitable position.
    D. The foam carrier can be substituted for and is preferred to the foam tender. The foam
    carrier is more maneuverable as compared to the foam tender which carries 2000 gallons of foam
    concentrate.
A
  1. B

2.3 Stretch largest available hose to the cannon. Under no condition should hose less than
2½” be used to supply the Foam Cannon.
2.4 Secure the Foam Cannon with a utility rope to a substantial object.
2.5 Stretch 1¾” hose from the Foam Carrier to the Portable Reservoir. Secure the hose to the
top of the reservoir.
2.6 The Chief Officer in Command shall order the delivery of foam concentrate to the
Portable Reservoir once assured that the Cannon and the Reservoir are in a suitable
position. The Chief Officer in Command of the fire will order water started.
2.7 The foam concentrate and water supply lines for the Foam Cannon can be stretched before
the Foam Carrier arrives. This will save time in placing this evolution into operation.
2.8 The foam concentrate should be delivered at a pressure that will permit a free flow
without causing aeration or frothing of the foam. The pressure will depend on the terrain
and length of the stretch.
2.9 The Cannon on an eductor setting of 3 will use 35 gallons of concentrate to produce
970 gallons of solution per minute. A 1000-gallon booster tank will last about 30
minutes educting at an approximate 3% solution.
2.10 The Cannon has a 10-foot pick up hose; therefore position it in close proximity to the
Portable Reservoir.
2.11 The Portable Reservoir can be filled with 5-gallon cans.
2.12 The Foam Tender can be substituted for and is preferred to the Foam Carrier. The tender
has three tanks of 1000 gallons each and will last much longer than the 1000-gallon
booster tank of the carriers. Also, other foam carriers can supply the Foam Tender if the
need arises.
2.13 The Foam Cannon should be supplied by a pumper or Satellite manifold that isn’t
supplying any other appliance. The Foam Cannon is capable of supplying 1000 GPM of
finished firefighting foam if adequately supplied.

    tenement. Lt. Welpez is working in E-16 and Capt. Leftus is working in L-7. Upon entering the
    building members of L-7 are told by the occupant of apartment 3A that his wife is trapped inside
    the apartment. Capt. Leftus then relays this information to his roof, OV, and LCC. The only
    units on the scene are E-16 and L-7, all the other units and the battalion are stuck in traffic.
    Upon arrival on the 3rd floor the inside team of L-7 is unable to enter the apartment due to a
    heavy fire condition blowing into the public hallway. The OV from L-7 makes his way to the
    rear, goes up the fire escape, and notifies Capt. Leftus he is entering the fire apartment alone to
    address a known life hazard. Shortly after entering the bedroom from the fire escape the OV
    from L-7 emerges onto the fire escape with the victim. At this time E-16 and L-7 are the only
    units on the scene. After the fire is under control Capt. Leftus, Lt. Welpez, BC Doody, and DC
    Giashield are discussing the operations at this job. Since individual action was taken by the OV
    from L-7 to address a known life hazard a report must be forwarded detailing full particulars.

  1. When a MAYDAY is transmitted for a firefighter that is lost, missing, trapped, or in
    distress, time will not be on your side. Which point below is not entirely correct regarding
    firefighter removal? MMID CH3
    A. At times, fire conditions may be so severe that immediate removal of the distressed
    firefighter is critical, even with a spinal injury. In all cases a member should be positioned at the
    down members head.
    B. As soon as firefighters reach the distressed firefighter, regardless of surrounding
    conditions, they should immediately begin to access the distressed firefighters ABC status
    (airway, breathing, and circulation) and treat as necessary.
    C. Removal of the distressed firefighter to a tenable atmosphere usually involves little danger
    from spinal injury if there was not a fall or other injury involved.
    D. It is important to emphasize that the operating units continue to fight the fire when a
    MAYDAY/URGENT is transmitted for a distressed firefighter.

    Which action taken by the members of E-99 after removing a victim from the water was
    incorrect? (Water Rescue 5.1)
    A. The victim was removed to a warm shelter to prevent further body cooling. The victim was
    transported carefully to avoid heart fibrillation and stress.
    B. Members recognized that the loss of body heat occurs 25 times faster in cold water than in
    air and that hypothermia begins when the body’s core temperature falls below the level of 98.6
    degrees.
    C. When the body’s core temperature begins to drop below 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the victim
    transgresses from non-ambulatory into unconsciousness.

Q
  1. Basic knowledge of rip tides and sweep tides are very important for unit’s who may have to
    operate near the ocean. The tides can be unpredictable and can pull people out into deep water
    very quickly. Which point is correct regarding sweep tides and rip currents? (Water
    Rescue 1)
    A. There are 6 tides in 24 hours. Three tides are coming in (high tide) and three tides are
    going out (low tide). Slack tide is 45 minutes between high and low tides.
    B. Rip tides or currents occur when the tide is going out. To escape a rip current you should
    swim parallel to the shore line. Swimming back to the shore into the rip will not help and only
    make the victim tired.
    C. Sweep tides run perpendicular to the beach and are more pronounced during in- coming
    tides. The waves are diagonal to the beach and can sweep swimmers into a rip current.
    D. When rescuing a person caught in a sweep tide rescuers should enter the water downstream
    of the sweep and take a straight on approach to the victim.
A
  1. B

6.1 There are 4 tides in 24 hours: 2 tides are coming in (High) and 2 are going out (Low).
Slack tide is 45 minutes between High and Low tides.

6.3 Sweep Tides
6.3.1 Sweep Tides can also be present in a rescue situation. This tide runs parallel to
the beach. It is more pronounced on out-going tides. The waves are diagonal to
the beach and can sweep swimmers into a rip current.
6.3.2 Rescuer should enter the water upstream of the sweep. This will pull the rescuer
towards the victim. Contact with the victim will be difficult if the rescuer takes a
straight on approach because they will be swimming against the sweep to get to
the victim (Figure 2).

48
Q
  1. Inflatable water rescue hose may be used during ice and water rescue
    incidents/emergencies involving any number of conscious victims. Which is an incorrect point
    regarding the operation of the inflatable hose? (Water Rescue 1 Add 1)
    A. Members can use the supplied air pump in order to fill the hose. The FAST pack cannot be
    used to fill the hose since it does not have a remote gauge.
    B. Members shall deploy the required lengths of hose, attach the water rescue fittings and
    ensure all the connections are spanner tight prior to filling with air.
    C. One 45 minute cylinder can fill five lengths of 2 ½” hose in approximately 2 minutes and
    30 seconds.
