NTN FIRETEAM EXAM - Exam Coverage
The exam coverage includes the skills and abilities assessed in the National
Testing Network (NTN) FireTEAM Exam, administered by the National Testing
Network for firefighter candidate selection. It focuses on reading comprehension,
mechanical reasoning, human relations, and situational judgment skills relevant to
firefighting duties. The exam also evaluates the ability to follow instructions, solve
problems, interpret information, and make sound decisions in emergency
scenarios. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking, teamwork, communication, and
the cognitive skills necessary to perform effectively in fire service environments
1. You are a rookie firefighter and you know that departmental rules state that
it is inappropriate for you to watch television during your probation period.
The crew has invited you in to watch a movie. Firefighter 1: "Come on in!
Don't worry about it! It's a great movie - it's a classic!" Firefighter 2: "The
captain is taking a nap anyway and he won't know anything!" Firefighter 1:
"Come on - we hardly even know you. Here's a perfect opportunity for us to
get to know you better! If you aren't going to watch a movie what are you
going to do?" As the rookie firefighter, how would you respond in this
situation? - ANSWER ✔ Thank the guys for the invite. Tell them that you
appreciate it but you are still on probation and can't watch any television
during your probation period. Tell them that you are new to this job and
want to learn as much as possible.
2. A new fire cadet is doing their required duties around the firehouse, cleaning
the kitchen, when an alarm comes in. The fire cadet has earphones in and
apparently does not hear the alarm. The officer taps them on the shoulder
, and says, "Let's go - we have an alarm to respond to!" How would you
respond to the officer in this situation? - ANSWER ✔ Apologize for
having earphones in and not paying better attention. Tell the officer it won't
happen again.
3. You are a rookie firefighter with 2 months on the job. Each day you come to
work, the engine and ladder companies have different assignments that need
to be completed. There is a corresponding checklist made out by your officer
to review the day's duties. You are cleaning the bathrooms when one of the
senior firefighters comes up to you and says, "Don't worry about the
bathroom. This area was cleaned the day before. I already went through it
and everything looks good. Come help me - let's clean out the equipment
room." As the rookie firefighter, how would you respond in this situation? -
ANSWER ✔ Inform the senior firefighter that it is your responsibility to
clean out the bathroom every day. Once you complete that job you will
come and help him with the equipment room.
4. An engine and a ladder are responding to a car fire in an abandoned parking
lot. The engine is the first arriving unit on the scene. The fire cadet pulls off
a line from the rear of the engine to the car fire. This is his first fire; caught
up in the emotions, he leaves his protective goggles on the truck. The officer
in charge of the engine does not have his protective goggles on either. He is
directing the cadet to get as close as possible to the car fire to extinguish the
fire. The car is rapidly becoming well involved in fire. The officer is firm in
his direction to make sure they extinguish the fire as quickly as possible. If
you are the fire cadet on the scene that has forgotten his protective goggles,
what would your response be? - ANSWER ✔ Go directly to the car fire
and extinguish it.
5. Three firefighters are standing on the apparatus floor around 3:00 pm; one is
a senior firefighter with 22 years of service and the other two are fire cadets.
The senior firefighter says, "Well, it's about time to take this fatigue uniform
shirt, hat and ID badge off." One of the cadets states that it is a policy that
you can't change out of your fatigue uniform shirt and hat and take off your
ID badge until 5:00 pm. The senior firefighter states, "That's ridiculous.
They are always making up useless policies; we don't have to listen to that."
He tells the fire cadets to take off their fatigue uniform shirts, hats and ID
badges and walks away. The two fire cadets are discussing the matter and
one says, "Maybe he's right. This is a terrible policy. I've never seen the
, policy enforced or seen anyone come in the station after 3:00 pm, so what
does it matter?" He starts taking off his fatigue uniform shirt, hat and ID ba -
ANSWER ✔ State that the policy is there for a reason and you need to
follow it.
6. Three engines, two ladders and a rescue squad are responding to an
emergency call. The driver and officer get out of the engine quickly, but the
firefighters in back are very slow to get out of the back and bring the
required equipment to the scene. In fact, other companies have arrived and
their crews have gotten off their apparatus, gotten their gear on, and gone
into the building while your firefighters are still bringing in the required
forcible entry equipment. After the call, the officer calls the firefighters over
and says, "I noticed you were not getting off the apparatus with the
equipment quickly enough. We need to be fast, efficient and organized to get
in the building and deal with this situation." In this scenario, you are one of
the firefighters slow to get off the apparatus and bring in the equipment; how
would you respond to the officer? - ANSWER ✔ Tell the officer you are
sorry; you didn't realize that you were getting off the apparatus slowly. Tell
the officer you will try to do better in the future.
