pooling on the ground.
White smoke moving at a slow velocity indicates
early-stage heating.
Identify TWO examples of Class D fuels.
zirconium
magnesium
When assessing resources at a structure fire, the ISO should determine
if ladders are tall enough for responders to access upper stories or the roof.
Identify THREE pre-entry considerations that are critical to responder safety and effectiveness.
identifying escape routes
establishing safety zones
establishing communication channels
While responders are inside a burning structure, the ISO must make sure there is a RIC ready to
deploy immediately that consists of at least:
two members.
At a wildland fire, fires usually move faster:
uphill.
At a wildland fire, be alert for any crew member who is:
behaving abnormally.
Apparatus used for wildland operations should:
never be driven at excessive speed.
At a wildland fire, a possible safety zone location is a:
dry stream bed.
At incidents involving structural collapse or confined space rescues, if you are the designated ISO and
do not meet the technician-level requirements of NFPA 1006, the IC should:
appoint an ASO or technical specialist with these requirements.
Although SARs make it easier for rescue technicians to maneuver through areas of limited egress, one
of the SAR's limitations is:
its air hose cannot be used for distances greater than 300 feet
, Victims will most likely be found near exterior walls in the debris of a(n):
A-Frame collapse.
At a structural collapse, the IAP should clearly designate that responders without technical rescue
training:
can participate in rescue operations to safely search for and dig out victims if under the supervision of
a rescue technician.

At the termination of the incident, the ISO should make sure that:
provisions have been made for follow-up medical exams and monitoring of responders.
