Which is an acceptable action when overhauling after a vehicle fire?
1) Use a cutting tool to remove the hood and trunk.
2) If the firefighter suspects the fire was incendiary, call for an investigator.
3) Remove the tires from the vehicle.
4) Coat the entire vehicle in foam and reapply foam every 15 minutes. - ANSWER: If
the firefighter suspects the fire was incendiary, call for an investigator.

1) friction loss.
2) residual pressure.
3) static pressure.
4) elevation pressure. - ANSWER: residual pressure.
What limitations of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) use can be attributed
to the psychological boundaries of the user?
1) Breathing through an SCBA is different from normal breathing and causes stress.
2) Size of the unit makes it more difficult for the user to fit into small spaces.
3) The realistic useful life of an SCBA cylinder for firefighting operations is usually
much less than the rated duration.
4) The extra weight of personal protective equipment and SCBA requires additional
energy, which in turn increases air consumption and body temperature. - ANSWER:
Breathing through an SCBA is different from normal breathing and causes stress.
When describing a product as a solid, liquid, or a gas, we are referring to its:
1) vapor density.
2) physical state.
3) flash point.
