LSR and Equipment Operations
LSR Operations
• Acid fumes can put the LSR immediately out of service
• The breaking strength of the LSR is 9,000 lbs, not 6,000 lbs
• The knot used for the atlas belt is the Bowline on a bight
• A backdraft is not characterized by free burning fire
• Class 3 construction according to 1938 Building Construction is non-fireproof
SCBA Operations
• The face piece of the SCBA should be slightly above atmospheric pressure, not below
• If the hallway of the fire floor becomes untenable, extra hose should not be flaked out on the floor
above
• Pak alert at full alarm cannot be reset by shaking; double click the yellow button to reset
• The red light and vibra alert go off when there is 25% remaining in the cylinder
• If the SCBA regulator fails in the closed position, turn the purge valve counterclockwise
Tool Assignments and Procedures
• The 1st due roof FF does not take a power saw at a non-fireproof multiple dwelling
• The nozzle controls the door when the hose is flaked out to the floor above is false
• The 1st due roof FF at a non-fireproof multiple dwelling does not take a power saw
• The access stairway door should not be left open on the fire floor
• The 2nd due ladder does not check all floors below the fire at a 3rd floor fire
Firefighting Techniques and Procedures
Search and Rescue
• The first thing to do during a quick release procedure is not calling a mayday
• A measured knot is the rolling hitch, used to secure a hoseline
• The incorrect statement about search tactics is venting windows while searching
• The incorrect statement about the 2nd due inside team accessing the floor above the fire is using a
party wall balcony
• The incorrect statement about the 2nd due inside team accessing the floor above the fire is using a
party wall balcony
