IFSTA CHAPTER 3 EXAM SCRIPT 2026
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
ALREADY PASSED
⩥ Building construction and safety code Answer: NFPA 5000 pg78
⩥ All structural members are made of non/limited-combustible
materials, providing the highest level of resistance to structural collapse
and spread. Answer: Describe Type I Construction (fire resistive) pg78
⩥ 1. reinforced concreate
2. precast concreate
3. protected steel Answer: 3 examples of materials used in type I
constructionpg78
⩥ No, while the structure will not burn it can degrade from the effects of
the fire. although the structure of the building is made of limited-
combustion materials the fuel load inside the building can create enough
heat to begin weakening the structure. Answer: Is a type I building fire-
proof?explain. pg78
⩥ 1. compartments can retain heat contributing to the potential for rapid-
fire development
, 2. roofs may be extremely difficult to vent due to construction materials
and design
3. windows may be non-opening causing trouble for venting Answer: 3
things to consider during firefighting operations of a type I structure.
pg78
⩥ Parking garage Answer: example of type I construction pg78
⩥ composed of materials that will not contribute to the fire development
or spread. Although the requirements for the materials are less strict than
type I, they will NOT add to the fuel load. More prone to collapse
because of lightweight construction Answer: Describe type II
(noncombustible) construction pg79
⩥ metal framing members, metal cladding, or concreate-block wall
construction. Answer: Common materials found in type II construction
pg79
⩥ all exterior walls and structural members are constructed using
non/limited-combustible materials
interior walls, columns, beams, floors, and roofs, are completely or
partially constructed of wood. Answer: Describe type III (ordinary)
construction pg79
