walls outward.
Which factor is likely to affect the speed with which a steel structural member fails
under fire conditions? - ANSWER✅✅Size
How does reinforced concrete react to exposure to fire? - ANSWER✅✅It performs
well, but can lose strength through spalling.
Which type of building material is used to protect other materials because its
moisture
content gives it excellent heat resistance? - ANSWER✅✅Gypsum wallboard
What is a concern about lath and plaster during a fire? - ANSWER✅✅Conceals
hidden fires and adds fuel to the fire

Which type of building material can produce toxic gases and rapidly deteriorate
under
fire conditions? - ANSWER✅✅Oriented strand board (OSB)

When should firefighters begin considering the potential that a building will collapse?
- ANSWER✅✅During preincident surveys and size-up
Which type of collapse is common for a Type V construction building? -
ANSWER✅✅Walls collapsing inward
Why can abandoned buildings pose great danger of fire and collapse? -
ANSWER✅✅The interior may be gutted and altered.
In which stage of fire development does structural collapse become likely due to the
weakened state of structural members and buildup of water? - ANSWER✅✅The
interior may be gutted and altered.
, How do a building's contents affect fire growth and structural collapse? -
ANSWER✅✅Contents can retain water and increase the stress on structural
members.
Little or no water runoff from the interior of the structure can be an indicator that: -

of the structure
When should a collapse zone be established at a structure fire? - ANSWER✅✅Once
a defensive strategy is adopted

should be cleared as soon as possible.
What should take place immediately after the collapse zone is cleared? -
ANSWER✅✅Personnel accountability report
Which statement accurately describes how building materials and configuration
affect
fire behavior in a structure? - ANSWER✅✅The longer the fire has burned, the more
likely it is that structural integrity has been
compromised.
