If you are unsure where the leak is coming from, but levels can be kept at less then 80% LEL, power removal is permissible. B. If at any point gas levels reach 80% LEL or higher, treat the affected area as a "potential blast zone". The opportunity to remove power has expired. C.

B CPC units never do mitigation.
23. A sharp engine company chauffeur should be familiar with setting the rig up for an effective decon operation. Placing two pumpers parallel to each other greatly increases our decon capabilities. While discussing this with members at drill, the ECC made the following four statements. Choose the incorrect statement. (HM 7—2.4.4) A. Two pumpers should be approximately 25 feet apart with control panels facing the outside. B. Engine Chauffeurs should monitor pressure to ensure it is not too forceful.

Ladder 100 operated correctly in each choice except which one? (Steam Sec. 4.4) A. Operating in live steam is a debilitating operation. The departments SCBA policy should be followed as superheated steam in a confined area will render the atmosphere oxygen deficient. B. Inside the steam control room will be numerous pipes and valves. Do not shut valves in this room. In an emergency, members may close the building shut off valve located outside. C. The Officer of Ladder 100 made certain the affected area and adjoining areas were searched due to the possibility of steam infiltrating these areas. D. In an emergency, members may shut the Inside Service Valve. It will be labeled and sealed. If possible, wait for Con Ed steam personnel.

Ladder 100 OV reports a slight odor of gas emanating from the peck vent on the exposure 2 side of the building. Since this is normal, no further action is needed. C. Upon hearing the report of a peck vent from Ladder 100 OV, Ladder 100's Officer knew this building must be supplied by either medium or high pressure. D. After conferring with the on-scene gas utility representative and determining their services were no longer required, Ladder 100 transmitted a 10-18 for a 10-40 code 1
B Ladder 100 OV reports a slight odor of gas emanating from the peck vent on the exposure 2 side of the building. There must be no odor of gas from a peck vent. If there is you must determine the source.
5. Although uncommon in New York City, methanol fueled vehicles may still enter the city from other jurisdictions. It is important members have a general idea of how to operate at a methanol emergency should one occur. Choose the incorrect statement concerning methanol. (HM 1--5.2, 5.4.2) A. Methanol is a highly volatile flammable liquid with a flash point of 54 degrees Fahrenheit. B. Methanol's vapors are very similar to Natural Gas as they are lighter than air. Should an emergency occur, do not use water. Let the methanol dissipate naturally into the atmosphere. C. When ignited, methanol burns cleanly and will produce a pale blue flame that may be difficult to see in bright sunlight. D. Purple K is very effective on methanol fires; an alternative would be to dilute the methanol below 20% using large amounts of water. Be sure to have an adequate water supply.

They are usually recessed in from the curb and are covered with a 4" X 4" square or round cover. D. "EFV" stamped on a tag near the service meter indicates an "excess flow valve". This should limit or stop the excess flow down pressure from it.
B National Grid main valve covers have an ID number stamped on the North side of the collar, underneath the cover. These numbers MAY BE DIFFICULT TO SEE.
11. You are working your first tour as a new Lieutenant in a water rescue company. Members are discussing riding positions at roll call. The senior member informs you that her company assigns the OV position as the Primary Water Rescuer. Do you agree with this company policy? (Water Rescue 2, Sec 2.1) A. Agree B. Disagree
B Not recommended that primary water rescuer be assigned according to position. Pick someone at roll call, perferably a former life guard/rescue swimmer. Remember to look closely whether they are asking about a Water rescue unit vs a water safety unit.
17. You are the Lt, working a Saturday 9x6 tour and you decide to visit a local building under construction that was the scene of a recent 10-75 for multi-unit drill. The members start discussing the actions taken by the engine regarding the air pressurized standpipe. Indicate the only incorrect action below. (Eng 8 Add 4 - 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8) A. Signs are required indicating the standpipe is pressurized and the location of the manual air release valves. B. Upon arrival the ECC noticed signs indicating the standpipe was pressurized. She then loosened the cap on the FDC and heard air escaping under pressure. She immediately stopped cap removal and notified the IC. C. The Control FF after reaching the floor outlet removed the cap and opened the standpipe outlet to expedite air removal from the system. Once water was flowing, they closed the outlet. The system is now functioning as a standard manual wet standpipe. D. If breakaway caps or any other non-screw in type caps are noticed on the FDC, this would be indicative of a standpipe not pressurized with air.
B She saw the sign. Locate the manual air relief valve and open it. Then attempt to loosen a cap. Some air escaping is normal.
5. As a newly promoted Lt, you would know when encountering unusual building characteristics, it is permissible to stretch the initial hose line from an outlet located on the same floor as the fire only if the on-scene IC grants approval. (Eng 8 - 4.4, 4.5) A. True or B. False
B Should be in CIDS and Approved by the division commander
4. Engine 100 is operating at a 10-77 in a 65-story Class 1 Multiple Dwelling with a gravity tank supplying the standpipe system.

(Eng 8 - 3.9.4, 3.9.7, 3.9.9, 3.9.10) A. The ECC supplied the system with 230 psi B. The Control FF knew there may be insufficient head pressure available at the 25th floor outlet from the gravity tank until the ECC supplies the system at the correct pressure. C. When supplying the standpipe system, the ECC should switch the pumps from Volume to Pressure. D. The ECC should generally supply the system with a pressure of 105 psi, plus an additional 5 psi per floor elevation. This is measured to the floor where the fire is located, not the outlet to be used.
B The Control FF knew there may be insufficient head pressure available at the 46th floor outlet from the gravity tank until the ECC supplies the system at the correct pressure. Note: Book says gravity tank may not supply enough pressure at the upper 20 floors of the building.
1. You are a Lieutenant working the 6x9 in a busy Brooklyn engine company when one of the members notifies you of an emergency in quarters that requires the safe and orderly evacuation of the firehouse.

4. E111 & L222 respond to a report of a vehicle fire at 1300 hours. On arrival L222 determines the vehicle on fire is a UPS truck fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG). E111 & L222 should read the new Haz-Mat updates as they were only correct in which one choice below? (4.5.2) A. Locating the emergency shut off is straight forward. Each vehicle will have a sign "Emergency Shut OFF" located on the inside of the passenger door denoting the location of the valve. B. A safe perimeter of 100-ft was established around the vehicle. Since units were unable to stop the flow of CNG, the gas was allowed to burn, and units knew this could take up to a half hour depending on the size of the tanks. C. Because the flow of gas could not be stopped, E100 cooled the exposed CNG cylinders with a 2 ½" hose line to prevent catastrophic cylinder failure (high pressure gas rupture). D. When PRD's (Pressure Relief Device) have activated they will open and close as the pressure within the cylinder fluctuates. The resulting fire may go out and reignite several times.
B 100 [tissues] A. Locating the emergency shut off is straight forward. Each vehicle will have a sign "Emergency Shut OFF" located on the OUTSIDE of the VEHICLE denoting the location of the valve. C. Because the flow of gas could not be stopped, E100 ALLOWED THE FIRE TO BURN. Do not apply water to CNG cylinders as this may prevent the relief valve from activating. D. When PRD's (Pressure Relief Device) have activated they will NOT RESET AND CLOSE. The resulting fire may go out and reignite several times. THIS IS A NEW SECTION. RECOMMENDED READING.
