  1. A map of a city block shows a fire hydrant at the northwest corner of 5th and Main. A building is fully engulfed at the southeast corner of the same intersection. If a hose from the hydrant can stretch 200 feet and the block measures 300 feet on each side, can the hydrant directly supply water to the fire?

    Answer: No, because the block diagonal exceeds 200 feet

    The diagonal distance across a 300-foot block is approximately 424 feet, far exceeding the 200-foot hose reach.

  2. A passage states: 'The fire tetrahedron consists of four elements: fuel, heat, oxygen, and a chemical chain reaction. Removing any one element will extinguish the fire.' A firefighter applies a dry chemical agent that interrupts the chemical chain reaction. According to this passage, what result is expected?

    Answer: The fire will be extinguished

    The passage states that removing any one element — including the chemical chain reaction — will extinguish the fire.

  3. A bar graph shows fire fatalities by cause: cooking fires (42%), heating equipment (16%), smoking materials (23%), electrical malfunctions (12%), and other causes (7%). What percentage of fatalities were caused by either cooking fires or smoking materials?

    Answer: 65%

    Combining cooking fires (42%) and smoking materials (23%) gives a total of 65%.

  4. A procedure manual reads: 'When an incident involves hazardous materials, firefighters shall NOT enter the hot zone without proper Level A or Level B PPE, confirmed air monitoring results, and approval from the incident commander.' A firefighter notices a victim in the hot zone but lacks proper PPE. What should the firefighter do?

    Answer: Wait for IC approval and proper PPE before entering

    The procedure prohibits entry into the hot zone without proper PPE, monitoring results, and IC approval — regardless of victim status.

  5. An incident report notes: 'The structure was a two-story wood-frame dwelling. Fire was confined to the kitchen on the first floor. Suppression was achieved using a 1¾-inch handline. Overhaul revealed fire had extended into the wall cavity between the first and second floors.' What does the overhaul reveal about fire behavior in this incident?

    Answer: The fire was more extensive than the initial attack indicated

    Overhaul revealing fire in the wall cavity shows the fire had spread beyond the visible kitchen area that was initially suppressed.

  6. A training bulletin states: 'Rapid Intervention Teams (RIT) must be established on scene before interior operations begin for any structure fire involving two or more attack crews.' Engine 3 and Engine 5 are both preparing to enter a burning warehouse. According to this bulletin, what must be done BEFORE they enter?

    Answer: A RIT must be established on scene

    The bulletin specifically requires a RIT to be established before interior operations when two or more attack crews are involved.

  7. A diagram shows a building with four floors. The stairwell is in the center of the building. Rooms 101–108 are on the first floor, 201–208 on the second floor, 301–308 on the third floor, and 401–408 on the fourth floor. A fire is reported in room 305. On which floor is the fire?

    Answer: Third floor

    Room 305 follows the numbering pattern where the first digit indicates the floor — '3' indicates the third floor.
