BOF MOD A EXAM SCRIPT 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
●● SOPs. Answer: Provide specific info on the actions that are to be
taken to perform a specific task. Written down.
●● SOGs. Answer: Not as strict as SOPs. Allows FF to deviate from set
procedure and use discretion while still being held accountable.
●● Fire. Answer: Rapid and persistent chemical reaction that produces
heat and light.
●● Combustion. Answer: Rapid chemical process of oxidization that
occurs at a rate fast enough to produce heat and usually light in the form
of either glow or flame.
●● NFPA 1451. Answer: Standard on Fire Service vehicle operations
program
●● Ignition temp. Answer: Minimum temp a substance should attain to
ignite under specific test conditions
●● Vapor density. Answer: The weight of a gas or vapor in comparison
to air. Weight of air=1. Less than 1 will rise greater will sink
, ●● BLEVE. Answer: Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion. occurs
when flammable liquid at bottom of container and gas at top are heated
to ignition.
●● NFPA 80. Answer: Standard for fire doors and other opening
protectives
●● Thermal layering. Answer: Gasses forming into layers by temp.
Hotter gases = higher
●● Plume. Answer: Column of hot gases, flames and smoke rising above
a fire.
●● Exo and endothermic reactions. Answer: Exo- chemical reactions
that produce/give off heat.
Endo- chemical reactions that absord heat
●● Fire triangle and tetrahedron. Answer: Triangle- heat, fuel, oxygen
tetrahedron- heat, fuel, oxygen, chem chain reaction
●● BTU. Answer: British thermal unit. the amount of heat needed to
raise 1 pound of water 1 degree f
