  1. A fire station budget is $480,000 per year. If equipment costs account for 35% of the budget, how much is spent on equipment?

    Answer: $168,000

    $480,000 × 0.35 = $168,000.

  2. A pump discharges water at 250 GPM. The tank holds 1,500 gallons. Ignoring resupply, how many minutes until the tank is empty?

    Answer: 6 minutes

    1,500 gallons ÷ 250 GPM = 6 minutes.

  3. Firefighter Jones works a 24-hour shift every 3 days. How many hours does she work in a 30-day month?

    Answer: 240 hours

    30 days ÷ 3 days per shift = 10 shifts. 10 shifts × 24 hours = 240 hours.

  4. A rescue team covers a search area of 3,600 square feet. If the team advances 6 feet per minute, and the search corridor is 12 feet wide, how many minutes does the search take?

    Answer: 50 minutes

    Length of corridor = 3,600 ÷ 12 = 300 feet. Time = 300 ÷ 6 = 50 minutes.

  5. A fire causes $45,000 in damage to a property valued at $180,000. What percentage of the property value was lost?

    Answer: 25%

    ($45,000 ÷ $180,000) × 100 = 25%.

  6. If a ladder company carries 3 ground ladders with lengths of 14 ft, 24 ft, and 35 ft, what is the average length of the ladders?

    Answer: 24.3 ft

    (14 + 24 + 35) ÷ 3 = 73 ÷ 3 = 24.33 ft ≈ 24.3 ft.
