  1. A standard operating procedure reads: 'When encountering a locked door, firefighters shall attempt forcible entry only after confirming fire or life safety conditions exist. If no immediate threat is confirmed, a supervisor must authorize entry.' A firefighter smells smoke but sees no flames. What should the firefighter do before forcing entry?

    Answer: Contact a supervisor for authorization

    Smoke alone does not confirm fire conditions under this procedure, so supervisor authorization is required before forcing entry.

  2. A pie chart shows the breakdown of fire causes in a city: Electrical (35%), Cooking (28%), Arson (15%), Heating Equipment (12%), Other (10%). Which two categories together account for more than half of all fires?

    Answer: Electrical and Cooking

    Electrical (35%) + Cooking (28%) = 63%, which is more than half of all fires.

  3. A maintenance log entry reads: 'Pump tested 03/10. Hose replaced 03/15. Aerial ladder inspected 03/08. SCBA units serviced 03/18.' Which piece of equipment was most recently serviced?

    Answer: The SCBA units

    The SCBA units were serviced on 03/18, which is the latest date listed in the log.

  4. A diagram shows a building with four quadrants labeled NW, NE, SW, SE. The fire symbol is placed in the NE quadrant, and the wind arrow points from NE to SW. In which direction is fire most likely to spread according to the diagram?

    Answer: Southwest

    Wind blowing from NE to SW carries embers and heat toward the SW quadrant, making that the most likely spread direction.

  5. An incident report states: 'Three civilians were rescued. Two firefighters sustained minor injuries. One structure was declared a total loss. No fatalities occurred.' How many total people were involved as either rescued or injured?

    Answer: Five

    Three rescued civilians plus two injured firefighters equals five total people involved.

  6. A line graph tracks a station's monthly alarm responses over six months: Jan=42, Feb=38, Mar=45, Apr=50, May=47, Jun=53. Which month showed the greatest single-month increase from the previous month?

    Answer: April

    April increased by 5 alarms (from 45 to 50), which is the largest single-month gain in the dataset.
