Full The purchase acceptance test on a new fire apparatus should focus on: - correct answers ✅A. Pump capacity B. Road tests C. Pump and foam operations D. Bid specifications (Correct Answer)
All of the following are rescue tools EXCEPT: - correct answers ✅A. Spreaders B. Extensions rams C. Drills (Correct Answer) D. Shears On the vacuum service test, the system vacuum and pump priming device should achieve a column of mercury of at least: - correct answers ✅A. 10 Inches B. 11 Inches C. 16 Inches
C. Into the fire house when there is snow or ice on the ground D. If you don't have at least one spotter (Correct Answer) NFPA Standard 1002 requires that driver/operators operate a fire apparatus over a predetermined route on a public roadway that incorporates all of the following EXCEPT - correct answers ✅A. An upgrade steep enough to require you to change gears in order to maintain speed B. Two through-intersections and one intersection that requires you to stop (Correct Answer) C. A downgrade steep enough to require you to downshift and brake D. One underpass, low clearance area, or bridge
If you are driving a fire apparatus that is longer than you are used to, make sure you: - correct answers ✅A. Are more cautious when judging clearance so you don't run up on curbs and corners. (Correct Answer) B. Slow down sooner at all traffic signals before proceeding C. Speed up as you go around curves to compensate for the difference D. Maintain a distance of at least 10 feet from the vehicle in front of you Place the steps for completing the apparatus station parking maneuver in the correct order. - correct answers ✅1. Move past the area that is set back, which is on the left
F. Check the side streets or roads Identify FOUR skills demonstrated during the alley dock exercise - correct answers ✅A. Moving the fire apparatus backward within a restricted area (Correct Answer) B. Using side mirrors C. Operating the fire apparatus safely D. Maneuvering through a space that gets smaller and smaller E. Interpreting spotter signals F. Judging fire apparatus' vertical clearance
Identify which factor is OPTIONAL during the diminishing clearance exercise: - correct answers ✅A. Stopping at the finish line B. Speed (Correct Answer) C. Using a spotter(s) D. Traveling backward When performing the serpentine exercise, you would be penalized for: - correct answers ✅A. Using your side view mirrors B. Hitting or brushing one of the markers (Correct Answer) C. Maneuvering through the marker in one continuous motion
C. Ability of any substance to absorb heat (Correct Answer) D. Speed at which water absorbs heat If water is flowing through 200 feet of 5 inch hose at 300 gpm, then the theoretical friction loss is approximately: - correct answers ✅A. 1.44 psi (Correct Answer) B. 5.48 psi C. 5.96 psi D. 8.98 psi FL = C x (Q/100)² x (L/100) FL = 0.08 x (300/100)² x (200/100) FL = 0.08 x (3)² x 2
FL = 0.08 x 9 x 2 FL = 1. Using the Condensed "Q" formula, calculate the friction loss for 500 feet of 3-inch hose flowing at 300 GPM is approximately: - correct answers ✅A. 1 psi B. 3 psi C. 45 psi (Correct Answer) D. 66 psi FL = Q(GPM/100)² FL = Q(300/100)² FL = Q(3)² FL = Q(9) FL = 9 x 5
D. 27.0 psi (Correct Answer) FL = Q(GPM/100)² FL = Q(300/100)² FL = Q(3)² FL = Q(9) FL = 9 x 3 FL = 27 In a water distribution system, on OS&Y valve: - correct answers ✅A. Is usually in a manhole or buried underground. B. Can be operated with a socket and a reach rod C. Has in indicator window that says OPEN or SHUT
D. Uses a threaded stem to control the valve (Correct Answer) Determine the PDP for a siamesed layout in which there is an attack line of a 200-feet with a 1 ¼-inch solid stream nozzle operating at 45 psi. The friction loss from supply hoses is 30 psi. The friction loss from the attack hose is 25 psi. In addition, there is an elevation gain of 40 feet between pump and nozzle. Total flow is 350 GPM. - correct answers ✅A. 85 psi B. 105 psi C. 130 psi (Correct Answer) D. 155 psi TFL = NP + EP + APL TFL = (45+30+25) + 20 + 10 TFL = 130
C. 96 psi D. 106 psi FL (Supply Line) = C x (Q (Supply)/100)² x L/ FL (Supply Line) = 0.2 x (500/100)² x 500/ FL (Supply Line) = 0.2 x (5)² x 5 FL (Supply Line) = 0.2 x 25 x 5 FL (Supply Line) = 25 FL = 2 x (250/100)² x (200/100) FL = 2 x (2.5)² x 2 FL = 2 x 6.25 x 2 FL = 25 TPL = FL + EP + APL TPL = 50 + EP + 10
Calculate the gpm flowing from a 1 3/4 inch solid master stream nozzle operating at a nozzle pressure of 80 psi. - correct answers ✅A. 801 GPM B. 464 GPM C. 813 GPM (Correct Answer) D. 406 GPM Q(Total) = 29.7 x (d)² x ( √NP) Q(Total) = 29.7 x (1.75)² x ( √80) Q(Total) = 29.7 x 3.0625 x 8. Q(Total) = 813.
B. The attack pumper adjust discharge pressure to supply attack lines C. Each relay pumper close its discharge valve once a steady flow of water reaches it, then advance throttle to 175 psi D. all pumpers, except the source pumper, open their discharge valves on dump line (Correct Answer) When hooking up to a hydrant and additional lines are anticipated, it is best to install a: - correct answers ✅A. Check valve on the larger hydrant discharge B. Globe valve on the smaller hydrant discharge C. Gate valve on the smaller hydrant discharge (Correct Answer)
D. Needle valve on the larger hydrant discharge If the standpipe for a building with only one standpipe is totally unusable: - correct answers ✅A. As a LAST resort, lay supply hose up an interior stairwell. (Correct Answer) B. Use a valve from the next floor up C. Charge the standpipe riser at the first floor level D. Use a double male with a double female to make connections Identify TWO ways in which the discharge pressure for pumping operations involving a sprinkler system can be found - correct answers ✅A. checking the fire department connection plate (Correct Answer)
