Yellow section

(Blank), mop-up uses no water, wetting agent, or retardent. Instead, burning materials are extinguished using soil, hand tools, or piling.

Dry Mop-up

(Blank), foam coats and adheres well to vertical surfaces and drains slowly, it may be well suited for penetrating exposures.

Dry foam

What is the safety guideline when you're working on a ground crew in the trees with heavy equipment nearby?

Stay back twice the height of surrounding trees

Consult the, (blank), Checklist in your IRPG for some practical guidelines on how to access the number & vulnerability of structures.

Structure Assessment Checklist

Mechanized control line construction normally takes place further from a fire's, (blank), than hand built lines.

Fire's edge

(Bank), foam adheres well to foliage and drains readily, wetting the foliage in the process.

Fluid foam

Use, (blank), solution as an extinguishing agent only during mop-up when maximum penetration and wetting is needed.

Foam Solution

What FOUR steps do you need to take if you encounter possible HazMat material?

1. Attempt to safely identify the material from an area that is uphill and upwind. 2. Isolate the scene and deny entry 3. Warn others in the immediate vicinity; & 4. Notify the IC

What are THREE structure situations to avoid when working in a an wildland-urban interface?

1. Bulging windows & an unventilated roof 2. Smoked-over or blackened windows; & 3. Burning roofs that are 25 percent engulfed in windy conditions

Fuels should be no close than, (blank), feet to a structure.

30 feet

How do you prepare a structure that is not "hopeless"?

1. Clean the roof of combustible materials 2. Cover the roof vents 3. Remove & scatter all fuels away from the structure 4. Shut-off above ground fuel tanks 5. Place combustible furniture inside the structure 6. Close all windows & doors; & 7. Charge all available garden hoses

Identify THREE HazMat hazards that you might encounter at farms & ranches:

1. Aboveground diesel tanks 2. Dynamite; & 3. Bulk chemicals

What are the FOUR types of low-expansion foam?

What are the THREE primary classes of radios?

1. Low-band 2. Very high frequency/ high-band; & 3. Ultra high frequency

What are the THREE general tactical plan categories in a wildland-urban interface?

1. Offensive mode 2. Defensive mode; & 3. Combined mode

Identify THREE things your patrol should do while searching for spot fires in your assigned area:

1. Patrol the area in a pattern that is parallel to the fireline 2. Patrol area at intervals determined by fuel type; & 3. Select two reference points in your assigned area.

Identify THREE potential road access problems you may want to avoid:

1. Private roads & driveways with only one way in or out 2. Dead-end roads or cul-de-sacs; & 3. Driveways and turnarounds with poor access

No matter what your patrol assignment is, make sure you are clear on its:

1. Purpose 2. Coverage; & 3. Information to report

Identify FOUR guidelines to follow when performing systematic mop-up:

1. Start with the hottest area and progress to the coolest 2. Work inward from the control line 3. Plan a beginning and an ending point; & 4. Implement a grid system when faced with complicated situations

What does the acronym, D.E.C.I.D.E, stand for during a HazMat situation?

1.Detect - Detect the hazard 2. Estimate - Estimate likely harm 3. Choose - Choose response objectives 4. Identify - Identify action options 5. Do - Do the best option 6 Evaluate - Evaluate your progress
