Firefighter Training S-130
(Suppression, Communication, and Mop-up)
1. Construct a fireline.: Remove fuel.
2. Smother with dirt.: Remove oxygen.
3. Spray with water.: Remove heat.
4. Spray with Class A foam.: Remove heat.
5. Short flame lengths.: Direct attack method.
6. Smothering.: Direct attack method.
7. Long flame lengths.: Indirect attack method.
8. Line construction far from the fire edge.: Indirect attack method.
9. Moderately intense fire moving at moderate ROS.: Flank attack method.
10. Encircling spot fires.: Parallel attack method.
11. Keeps burning debris from rolling across control line.: Cup trenching.
12. Prevents fuel outside the control line from burning.: Fireproofing fuel.
13. Eliminates fuel between fire edge and control line.: Firing Operations.
14. Attack parts of a fire threatening life or property.: Hotspotting.
15. Creates emergency control line, especially in light fuels.: Creating a scratch line.
16. Finds hotspots along a partly dead fire edge.: Cold trailing.
17. Identify THREE true statements about control lines.
- Anchor points are required only in medium or heavy fuels.
- The control line should be at least 1 1/2 times the height of the fuels.
- One factor in control line position is whether offensive or defensive strategy is used.
- The control line should be uniform width all around a fire's perimeter.
, - The control line should be kept as short and straight as possible.: - The control line should be at least 1
1/2 times the height of the fuels.
- One factor in control line position is whether offensive of defensive strategy is used.
- The control line should be kept as short ans straight as possible.
18. Broken up and scattered in the green.: Fuel concentrations.
19. Dropped into the black.: Snags.
20. Trenched and bermed.: Control line below the fire.
21. Placed just over the ridge.: Control line above a fire.
22. Made no wider than necessary.: Control line in general.
23. To be avoided, if possible.: Downhill fireline.
24. Are you down with the guidelines for downhill fireline construction and
hose lays?
All of these are TRUE guidelines except.
- Don't attempt these procedures when a fire is present directly below the
proposed starting point.
- Don't construct a fireline in or adjacent to a chimney or chute that could burn
out while your crew is in the vicinity.
- Always use an undercut for downhill lines.
- Always reference your IRPG for downhill line construction guidelines.: -
Always use an undercut for downhill lines.
25. Place these tools in the correct order from leader to clean-up.: 1. Chainsaw
2. Brush hooks
3. Shovel
26. Identify THREE advantages of using Class A foam in your wet line.
- Better wetting of fine fuels.
- Contains more-intense fires.
