16. Firefighters often apply a hose stream to the side of a
building that is in close proximity to a fire. What is the
primary reason for conducting such an operation? -
Answer-Radiant heat given off by the neighboring fire may
adversely affect the nearest wall. Without the coolant
effect of the hose stream, enough heat may be absorbed
by an exposed surface to cause ignition and create a
separate blaze.
17. Frequently, people use an octopus wall outlet
connection to maximize the number of appliances that can
be plugged into a single outlet. What would this be
considered? - Answer-Unsafe, because the excessive
amount of current drawn through the outlet may exceed
what it is designed to handle. This may set the stage for
wires to overheat or a short circuit to occur, thus causing a
fire within the partition.
18. What is the greatest danger aspect for someone using
an aluminum ladder to install or realign a rooftop antenna?

- Answer-A potential electrical shock hazard is possible
when in the vicinity of power lines.
**Any kind of metal ladder poses an electrical hazard if it
comes into contact with an energized power line.
Aluminum is a superb conductor. Choices A and B are
incorrect. Choice D refers to a problem associated with
aluminum ladders. However, it is not considered a greater
danger than the prospect of electrocution.**
19. In the process of fighting a fire, your superior officer
directs you to perform a different part of the operation. If,
because of the noise and commotion you do not fully hear
or comprehend what was said, what should you do? -
Answer-Ask your commanding officer to repeat the
instruction.
**Problems that occur at the fire scene that hamper the
efficiency of how a fire is handled are normally attributed
to poor communication among firefighters. If a direction is
not fully comprehended or clearly heard, it is better to
have it repeated than to undertake action on your own
initiative. Effective teamwork is imperative for any kind of
operation to be conducted efficiently. The other choices
run counter to this concept.**

21. If someone's clothing were to catch on fire, what would
be an appropriate thing to do? - Answer-If it is a loose
fitting garment, such as a jacket or coat, you should
attempt to strip it off.
Wrap a blanket or something similar around the victim to
smother the flames.
Get the victim to drop to the ground and roll slowly.
22. Icy road conditions can be particularly hazardous for
driving because - Answer-Friction between the tires and
road is minimized.
**Brakes, contrary to popular thought, are not directly
responsible for stopping a vehicle. Instead, they retard the
motion of the wheels. Consequently, friction develops
between the tire and the road which is directly responsible
for a vehicle coming to a complete stop.**
23. According to the National Safety Council, each year
twenty times more deaths within the United States are
, 4|Page
caused by fires than by tornadoes, floods, earthquakes,
and hurricanes combined. What can we deduce from this
statement?
A. Fires are more lethal by comparison.
B. Tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes are
taken for granted by most people.
C. People are better able to cope with natural weather
phenomena than fire.
D. Statistically there are many more fires than natural
weather or geophysical disasters. This, combined with
public apathy and a lack of education about fire, is the
probable reason for the high fatality rate. - Answer-D.
Statistically there are many more fires than natural
weather or geophysical disasters. This, combined with
public apathy and a lack of education about fire, is the
probable reason for the high fatality rate.
**When the destructive capabilities of fire are compared to
those of tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods, it
is a misconception to think that fire is the worst. In fact, the
destructive energy of the other phenomenon discussed is
