The scientific method - (answers)Recognize the need, define the problem, collect
data, analyze the data, develop hypothesis, test hypothesis, select final
hypothesis
Fire effects are the result of? - (answers)Exposure to fire
Fire effects are part of what portion of the scientific method - (answers)Data
collection
What are the general categories of fire effects? - (answers)Discoloration,
deformation, deposition, mass loss
Fire Effect - (answers)The observable or measurable changes in or on a material
as a result of a fire
Fire Analysis - (answers)The process of determining the origin, cause,
development, responsibility, and when required, failure analysis of a fire or
explosion
,2|Page
Fire Dynamics - (answers)The detailed study of how chemistry, Fire science, and
the engineering disciplines of fluid mechanics and heat transfer interact to
influence fire behavior
Fire Investigation - (answers)The process of determining the origin, cause, and
development of a fire or explosion
Job Performance Requirements - (answers)A statement that describes a specific
job task, list the items necessary to to complete the task, and defines measurable
or observable outcomes and evaluation areas for the specific task
What aspects are involved in finding a cause? - (answers)Circumstances,
conditions, or agencies that brought the ignition source, fuel, and oxidant
together
Empirical Data - (answers)Observation or experience and is capable of being
verified or known to be true
Deductive reasoning - (answers)The process by which conclusions are drawn by
logical inference from given premises. Comparing hypothesis to collected data
Inductive Reasoning - (answers)Starts from a particular experience and proceeds
to generalizations. Develops hypothesis based on facts, training, expertise,
experience, and knowledge
, 3|Page
Expectation Bias - (answers)The use of only the data that supports this previously
formed conclusion and often results in the misinterpretation and/or the
discarding of data that does not support the original opinion
Confirmation bias - (answers)Confirming data that supports your hypothesis
What are the two levels of certainty for an expert - (answers)Probable and
possible
What level of certainty does not qualify for an expert opinion -
(answers)Suspected
Probable - (answers)Greater than 50% certainty
Possible - (answers)Feasible but not, less than 50% sure. If two hypothesis are
likely then certainty has to be possible
Fire - (answers)A rapid oxidation process, which is an exothermic reaction,
resulting in the release of heat and light energy in varying intensities.
Energy - (answers)A property of matter that manifests as an ability to perform
work, either by moving over a distance against a force or by transferring heat.
