Questions with correct answers.
Combustible Liquid ANS - A liquid with a flash point ABOVE 100F
12.5 ANS - If the current flowing out from an electrical panel is 12.5 amps, and it then flows through an
electrical load of 1500 watts, what is the amperage of the remaining current flow of the return circuit?

to pump fuel from a fuel tank
5 and 17 ANS - The lower explosive and upper explosive limit of natural gas (methane)?
680°F ANS - The ignition temperature of power steering fluid
Fuel ANS - Any substance that can undergo combustion
Act or Omission ANS - Two factors or situations leading to a fire that may show the nature of the
incident responsibility.
Additional Investigative Recommendations ANS - This concept should not be included in a summary
report of findings.
Admiralty Law ANS - A law that may govern the fire investigation of a boat
After-market Equipment ANS - A type of device in a vehicle, which can cause an electrical overload to
factory installed wiring
Alive and Breathing ANS - Evidence of smoke or soot in the lungs, bronchi, and trachea is one of the
most significant factors in confirming that, at the time of the fire, the victim was WHAT?
All Team Members ANS - Those who have the responsibility for monitoring safety conditions at the fire
or explosion scene
1220°F ANS - The melting temperature of aluminum

source?
Metal-to-metal sparks,
Aluminum-to-pavement sparks,
Metal-to-pavement sparks,
Motor bearing sparks
Heat Release Rate ANS - A meaningful analysis of a fire requires an understanding of the fire growth, the
total heat released, and WHAT?
Arc-fault circuit interrupter ANS - What does he term AFCI stand for? And, the "A" specifically represents
what?
ASTM ANS - The organization that develops standard methods for testing materials
Auto-ignition ANS - Initiation of combustion by heat but without a spark or flame
Backdraft ANS - A deflagration resulting from the sudden introduction of air into a confined space
containing oxygen-deficient products of incomplete combustion
Backdraft ANS - An explosion caused by a combination of combustible materials heated to the ignition
point and a sudden introduction of oxygen to support combustion
Backfire Flame Arrestor ANS - A boat device that owners fail to keep clean, which is a frequent cause of
engine compartment fires on boats
Ballast ANS - A device on a fluorescent light fixture that transforms the voltage from normal household
voltage to a higher voltage
Battery ANS - The starter motor draws its energy from this source
