Question 3

A fire investigation scene preservation rule states: (1) photograph scene before anything is moved, (2) identify point of origin, (3) collect evidence samples, (4) allow salvage operations. The rule: step 4 only after steps 1, 2, and 3 are complete. An investigator skips step 2 and goes to 3. What is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Point of origin must be identified before evidence is collected

Answer

The protocol requires point-of-origin identification before collecting samples so that evidence context is preserved.

Z, W, X, Y

Answer

Connect to discharge outlet first, pull the load, advance to the fire, then bleed air and open the nozzle.

The rule: β must precede δ; α must precede γ; δ and γ can happen in either order after their prerequisites. Which is NOT a valid sequence?

Accepted Answer

γ, α, β, δ

Answer

Starting with γ (brief incoming crew) violates the rule that α (review open incidents) must precede γ.
