Common Passenger Vehicle Technical
Rescuer Levels (NFPA) Exam UPDATED
ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
NFPA 1006 - CORRECT ANSWER Establishes minimum job performance
requirements (JPRS) for personnel who perform technical rescue operations
NFPA 1670 - CORRECT ANSWER The standard for training parameters and
assessment of response area and problems that could occur in the community.
At a minimum, all emergency services organizations must have: - CORRECT
ANSWER - SOPs for managing a vehicle rescue and extrication incident
- Guidelines that minimize risk and threats and provide consistency and safety for all
personnel to follow
Awareness level competencies: - CORRECT ANSWER - Knowledge of various tools
and equipment
- Scene size-up and survey
- Risk-benefit analysis and hazard recognition
- PPE requirements
- Basic hazard mitigation
- Traffic control
- Information-gathering skills
Operations level competencies: - CORRECT ANSWER - Respond to technical search
and rescue incidents
- Recognize and identify hazards
- Operate in a support role
, - Apply and implement limited techniques to support and participate in technical search and
rescue incidents involving persons injured or entrapped in a vehicle or small machine
- Must be able to develop an IAP using SOPs and apply a standard approach
Technician level competencies: - CORRECT ANSWER - Develop an IAP
- Understand traffic incident management
- Recognize, select, and operate tools as well as various procedures and techniques for
extrication
- Employ appropriate techniques for victim immobilization, packaging, and removal
- Terminate the operation
Conventional vehicles: - CORRECT ANSWER - The majority of vehicles on the road
- Use internal combustion engines (ICE) for power
- Can burn petroleum-based fuels and alternative fuels
- Fuel tanks are constructed of steel or aluminum
Hybrid electric vehicles: - CORRECT ANSWER - Combine two or more power
sources for propulsion
- Usually a high-voltage electrical system and an internal combustion engine
- Most come equipped with regenerative braking system (uses kinetic energy to recharge the
battery pack)
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles: - CORRECT ANSWER - Electrochemical devices that use
hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity
- Fuel cell consists of over 300-400 cells that can produce over 400 volts of DC current
- When ignited, hydrogen produces a clear nearly invisible flame
- Cryogenic liquids (compressed liquid hydrogen, compressed natural gas) will react violently
with water
In every crash, there are three collisions that occur: - CORRECT ANSWER - Vehicle
against an object
