Ch 9. 4. What is ground gradient?
Is electrical energy that has established a path to ground through the earth and is
energizing it. A downed power line may be energizing the earth in a concentric ring of up
to 30 feet depending on the voltage source.
Immediately dangereous to life and health
World war 2 brought about safety officers, 1970 congress passed OSHA-both employees
and employers responsible for safety. In 1987 NFPA1500 to 1521. In 2004 homeland security
made NIMS the national response plan.
An on-deck system is an organized system in which a working team is replaced with
another working team that is already dialed in and ready to replace them.

Ch 4. 3.List four examples of when automatic ISO delegation should take place.
1. NFPA 1021: standard on fire officer professional qualifications
2. Additional knowledge and skills
3. Certain attitude
1. Working incident
2. Growing span of control
3. Mutual aid incidents
4. Firefighter down/missing/trapped
Powerlines/Wires: arc danger, voltage?, may jump recoil
Pole-Mounted Transformers: hard to extinguish, drip oil
Pad-Mounted Transformers: energize surface, arc
Ground level Vaults: confined space, o2, explosive
Subterranean Vaults: water, ventilate,
Generators: heat, fuel, automatic start up
Batteries: stored energy, chemical, gas buildup
Disconnects/switches/meters: exposed terminals
Flashover: turbulent smoke flow, rollover, autoignition outside.
Backdraft: yellowish gray smoke, bowing black stained windows, signs of extreme heat on
outside.
Smoke explosion: smoke trapped above fire, signs of growing fire, pressurizing.
Rapid fire spread: increase in smoke spread, smoke flowing from hallways faster than
firefighter can move.
Term 5 of 188
Ch 5. 3.How are efficiency and effectiveness different?
The ISO should have a site safety plans involving hazmat, confined space, trenches,
hazardous energy.
The direct current (DC) can energize pooled water, battery acid, and battery rack hardware.
Heat Stress: clothing reduces bodies ability to evaporate heat
Cold Stress: body's core temperature cannot be maintained
Effectiveness: doing the right things. Learning part.
Efficiency: doing things right - performance part.
