**In what way do wood braced-frame constructed buildings collapse? Inward/Outward Collapse: The collapse of an exterior wall that breaks apart horizontally; the top collapses inward back on top of the structure and the bottom collapses outward on to the street. Wood braced-frame constructed buildings collapse this way. Timber truss roof collapse can cause a secondary collapse of a front wall in this manner Collapse Add 3 2

All members of the Department should be familiar with terms in the realm of Fire Dynamics: A: FLASH POINT is the lowest temperature of a LIQUID at which that liquid gives off sufficient vapors to ignite but WILL NOT continue to burn. In other words, at the Flash Point, the vapors will "flash"/blow but not sustain burning. While at the Fire Point, the vapor will continue to burn after the initial ignition B: FIRE POINT is the lowest temperature at which a LIQUID will ignite and achieve sustained burning. C: VAPOR PRESSURE is the ability of a LIQUID or SOLID fuel to VAPORIZE. The higher the vapor pressure, the more vapors are released (the easier it is to off-gas). D: The "Vapor Density" of gas refers to its density compared to air. A gas with a vapor density greater than 1 is heavier than air while vapor densities less than 1 are lighter than air. Note: Gases that have a vapor density around 1 will mix evenly with air. TB FD 6

Aerial ladder unit tactic: A: In order to facilitate an efficient, coordinated operation, the officer of the first ladder company should strive to enter the block after the first engine company, and from the same direction. This is particularly important where street width or parked cars would prevent the engine from passing the ladder apparatus to reach the desired hydrant. B: If the second ladder company to arrive is moving into the fire block opposite the first engine company, the ladder company officer must VERIFY THAT THE ENGINE HAS A HYDRANT before moving too close. The officer and non-committed members (excludes chauffeur or tiller firefighter) may approach the fire building on foot C: When approaching a box location and there is no visible indication of fire on the avenue of approach, the chauffeur should slow down one intersection short of the box location and enter the intersection at a SLOW RATE OF SPEED. This will allow the members to look in the side streets for the fire or emergency D: At vacant building fires, officers of aerial ladders shall consider the need for access and positioning of tower ladders; however, precedence may be give to the positioning of aerial apparatus if the building is not completely vacant, there is information/prior knowledge of vagrants/squatters or the reach of the 100' aerial is required.

All firefighters should have a basic understanding of the various types of combustion: A: Flash fires involve a flame moving though a flammable mixture with considerable speed, without developing a significant over-pressure. B: Flash fires USUALLY self-extinguish, although SOMETIMES may ignite secondary fires C: Flash fires which occur in a CONFINED SPACE can cause an over pressure condition and result in an explosion. This condition would be referred to as an explosion. (e.g. dust explosion) D: A BLEVE occurs when liquid in a pressurized vessel is at or heated to a temperature that exceeds it boiling point and the container ruptures due to excessive buildup in pressure to tank failure caused by mechanical or thermal damage.

Oxygen in the air is the primary oxidizing agent in most fires: A: Normally, air consists of 20.8% oxygen. B: At normal ambient temperatures, materials can ignite and burn at oxygen concentrations as low as 15%. C: When oxygen concentration is reduced below 15%, the FLAMING combustion will DIMINISH, causing combustion to CONTINUE in the NON-FLAMING This means that below 15% there will not be visible flames, but because combustion continues in the nonflaming mode, heat and dense, fuel rich smoke will continue to be produced. If oxygen is introduced to this type of atmosphere, the fuel rich environment can ignite and be hazardous to firefighters D: When oxygen concentration is higher than 20.8%, materials exhibit very different burning characteristics and materials that burn at normal oxygen levels will burn more intensely.

They are not initially used during fire operations due to their proximity to rubbish removal areas which are commonly fire origin locations. After evaluation and approval for use by the Incident Commander (IC), these elevators will allow for greater movement of members, tools and equipment due to their large size. C: When elevator shafts face the street, any window serving the shaft is required to display a "SHAFTWAY" sign across the OUTER portion of the window that is clearly visible from the street. AVOID placing aerial or portable ladders to these shaft windows or operating streams into them UNLESS visible fire is extending up the shaft. D: In many loft buildings, elevators doors can look like apartment entrance doors and often, elevator doors do not slide into the shaftway but swing out onto the loft floor as two separate doors or as a single-hinged door. Members must be alert when forcing a door, that it does not access an elevator shaft.

First alarm units are responding to a reported train stuck in an under-river tube. The Lieutenant in Ladder 500 has the following thoughts about the sound powered phone system: A: In the street to tunnel sound powered phone system coverage includes a particular under river tunnel or tubes (both directions) and a location on both sides of the tunnel, typically the nearest emergency exit. IN THE STREET TO STATION SYSTEM COVERAGE INCLUDES A PARTICULAR STATION AND THE STREET ABOVE B: There is usually no connection from one sound powered phone system to another (e.g., from and under river tunnel system to a nearby station.) C: Headsets are preferred for use throughout the NYC transit system, due to the high noise levels that may be encountered. D: In under river tubes, sound powered telephone connectors are found at standpipe outlets; approximately 200 FEET APART.NOTE "A": IN THE STREET TO STATION SYSTEM COVERAGE INCLUDES A PARTICULAR STATION AND THE STREET ABOVE TB Tools 31 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.3.2

During multi-unit drill, Lt. Dillon had his members stretch a hose line up an aerial ladder into the 3rd floor of a vacant building: A: The nozzle firefighter left her length on the ground and carried the nozzle with the hose playing out behind her. The hose was carried under her left arm and the nozzle draped upward across the front of her torso and back over her right shoulder. B: Once the nozzle firefighter reached the destination, she momentarily passed the nozzle to the engine officer, allowing her to safely dismount the aerial. C: The back-up firefighter climbed the ladder behind the nozzle firefighter, advancing hose as they climbed. The hose was maintained on the LEFT side of the aerial ladder. Note: The engine officer will wait until ALL of the firefighters are OFF THE AERIAL before calling for water in the line. The line should be charged gradually. D: When sufficient hose was stretched, a hose strap was used to secure the hoseline to a rung of the aerial ladder at the WINDOW LEVEL. Once secured, all members on the aerial completed their ascent up the ladder and proceeded to the point of operation. Eng Ch 7 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.10, 9.11

TB Tools 39 2.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.9

ENGINE OPS In the event the advance of the hoseline is stalled due to insufficient available hose, the back-up firefighter may need to momentarily leave the nozzle firefighter to retrieve the hose necessary to continue the fire attack. This must be coordinated with the officer and nozzle firefighter. In larger apartments or private homes, the door firefighter may be forced to move into the fire area to keep line of sight with the nozzle team. Maintaining VISUAL CONTACT with the nozzle team is necessary as they advance. If the 2nd engine arrives after the 1st engine has begun stretching, the 2nd arriving members should begin assisting with the stretch only AFTER they have confirmed the position of the 1st arriving engine and the progress of the stretch. This may require the 2nd arriving members to enter the building and follow the line to determine progress. CONTROL FF MUST REMAIN LAST IN STRETCH, EVEN IF ASS.

Usually, one door is nailed shut or obstructed by furniture so as not to be openable. C: Some buildings have been found to have a FIRE PARTITION IN THE THROAT which does not extend completely to the REAR WALL. When a fire partition is found, it must be checked to be sure it is carried to the FRONT AND REAR FIRE WALLS D: Ceiling beams are not always laid in the conventional manner (across the WIDTH OF THE WINGS). Some may be laid lengthwise, depending on the iron framework. MD Ch 1 4.10.3, 4.11.3-4.11.5

ENGINE OPS TWO lengths of 1 ¾" hose to be used as a "booster line" for outside fires, such as rubbish fires or car fires. This hose should be maintained with a fog nozzle attached to one length. Note: In an emergency, it can also be used to apply water from the exterior of the fire building. It should be maintained pre-connected to a discharge outlet. It MAY also be maintained pre-connected to a gated wye attached to a discharge outlet. This hose may be maintained either rolled or folded. Generally, it is stored on the front bumper of the apparatus. Eng Ch 2 9.3, 12.1

Ice accumulations on an unsupported aerial ladder under certain conditions may lead to twisting and possible collapse of the ladder: A: When ice prevents the chauffeur from raising the aerial ladder away from a building, the hydraulic mechanism may be assisted by placing a portable ladder under the extended ladder and using a number of members to exert additional pressure. B: At a high ladder angle, in addition to using a portable ladder under the extended aerial ladder, consider exerting additional pressure with a UTILITY ROPE. The rope is tied near the tip of the ladder and members on the roof or in the window of a building across the street pull the rope taut in order to assist the hydraulic power. C: When ice prevents retraction of ladder sections, care must be exercised to avoid damaging the rungs or weakening the cables. A heavy coating of prescribed lubricant will inhibit the formation of ice at critical points and will also facilitate deicing.
