4.- FDNY G-60 Portable Fire Extinguisher (PFE) v. 4252023 already graded a+ with 100% correct answers|GUARANTEED SUCCESS

1.- All persons conducting hot work operations or performing fire watch shall? Be trained in the use of portable fire extinguishers, and shall be capable of extinguishing fires when they are limited in size and spread such that they can readily be extinguished using a portable fire extinguisher. 4.-In the event of a fire extinguisher has been discharged, what to do next? A fully charged replacement is required before work can resume. The C of F holder is recommended to be trained for the use of portable fire extinguisher. Portable fire extinguishers are important in preventing a small fire from growing into a catastrophic fire, however, they are not intended to fight large or spreading fires. The trained Certificate of Fitness holders should only consider extinguishing fires when they are limited in size and spread such that they can readily be extinguished using a portable fire extinguisher. By the time the fire has spread, fire extinguishers, even if used properly, will not be adequate to extinguish the fire. Such fires should be extinguished by the building fire extinguishing systems or trained firefighters only. 6.- In case of any fire? FDNY must be notified. Fire extinguishers must be used in accordance with the instructions painted on the side of the extinguisher. They clearly describe how to use the extinguisher in case of an emergency. 8.- All fire extinguishers must be installed so that the top of the extinguisher is not more? Than 5 ft above the floor and the clearance between the bottom of the extinguisher and the floor is not less than 4 in. In other words, no fire extinguisher is allowed to put on floor. 9.- What special care must be taken when extinguishing a gas fire caused by a leak? The easiest way to extinguish the fire is to shut off by using the Emergency Shut Off valve until the flame is extinguished. In case of any fire, Fire Department must be notified. The flame must be approached from an upwind direction. This will prevent the Certificate of Fitness holder from being burned by the flames. Never approach a fire from a downwind direction. The correct ways to approach a fire are shown below. 10.- How the dry chemical stream must be directed? Toward the point where the flame begins. Do not direct the chemical stream at the center of the flame. This will not extinguish the fire. The correct way to direct the dry chemical stream is shown below. 11.- How to proce for the pied gas leaks? The gas supply must be shut off first and then call 911. This is safer than allowing the flammable gas (e.g. acetylene or LPG) to leak out. A flammable gas leak could result in a serious explosion if it were ignited. Never attempt to extinguish the flame unless the gas supply shut. When it is not possible to shut off the gas supply (e.g. the fire is near the control valve or the shut-off valve) and the gas supply is limited (e.g. it is from a cylinder), allow the flame to burn itself out and call 911. In the meantime, you should try to control the scene and prevent the fire spreading to the surrounding materials. 13.- When the trained Certificate of Fitness holders should only consider extinguishing fires? When they are limited in size and spread such that they can readily be extinguished using a portable fire extinguisher. By the time the fire has spread, fire extinguishers, even if used properly, will not be adequate to extinguish the fire. Such fires should be extinguished by the building fire extinguishing systems or trained firefighters only. 14.- The Certificate of Fitness holder must be familiar with? The different types of fire extinguishers available at the work site. The Certificate of Fitness holder must know how to operate the extinguishers in a safe and efficient manner. The Certificate of Fitness holder must also know the difference between the various types of extinguishers and when they may be used 15.- What are the class A fires? Fires are caused by ordinary combustible materials (such as wood, paper, and cloth). To extinguish a Class A fire, these extinguishers utilize either the heat-absorbing effects of water or the coating effects of certain dry chemicals. 16.- What are the class B fires? Fires are caused by flammable or combustible liquids and gases such as oil, gasoline, etc. To extinguish a Class B fire, the blanketing-smothering effect of oxygen-excluding media such as CO2, dry chemical or foam is most effective. 17.- What are the class C fires? Fires involve electrical equipment. These fires must be fought with fire extinguishers that do not conduct electricity. Foam and water type extinguishers must not be used to extinguish electrical fires. After shutting off the electrical equipment, extinguishers for Class A or B fires may be used. 18.- What are the class D fires? Fires are caused by ignitable metals, such as magnesium, titanium, and metallic sodium, or metals that are combustible under certain conditions, such as calcium, zinc, and aluminum. Generally, water should not be used to extinguish these fires. 19.- What are the Multi-purpose dry chemical? A multi-purpose dry chemical fire extinguisher may be used to extinguish more than 2 Classes fires. 20.- Are the symbols painted on the extinguisher? Symbols may also be painted on the extinguisher. The symbols indicate what kind of fires the extinguisher may be used on. The symbol with the shaded background and the slash indicates when the extinguisher must not be used. The Certificate of Fitness holder must understand these symbols. All fire extinguishers should be kept in good working order at all times. 21.- Installed Portable Fire Extinguisher must have a PFE tag affixed? Yes, Installed Portable Fire Extinguisher must have a PFE tag affixed. This tag will have important information about the extinguisher. New standardized PFE tags will begin appearing at premises starting in November 2018. By November of 2019, all portable fire extinguishers must have the new PFE tags 22.- T I P S A real hologram strip is 3 inches long by ¼ inch wide. Counterfeit tags will NOT have a high quality silver hologram. The hologram on a counterfeit tag will NOT change color as it is moved against the light. If your PFE tags look different than the one pictured above, contact your supervisor. If you suspect your PFE is a counterfeit, contact FDNY immediately by e-mail: 23.- Portable fire extinguishers must be kept in good working order at all times. The extinguishers are required to be inspected? The extinguishers are required to be inspected monthly. The building owner is responsible to designate a person to perform a monthly inspection, which may or may not be the C-14 Certificate of Fitness holders. This monthly inspection is called a "quick check". 25.- All Portable Fire Extinguishers must be checked by a W-96 Certificate of Fitness holder from FDNY approved company? At least annually. After each annual inspection W-96 COF holder will replace the PFE tag. The information of the annual inspection record must be indicated on the new PFE tag. 2.- Which portable with a least rating must be readily accessible within 30 feet? A portable fire extinguisher with at least a 2-A:20-B:C rating must be readily accessible within 30 feet of the location where hot work is performed and where the fire guards are positioned. In case of fire, 911 must be called. 3.-Which portable with a least rating must be readily accessible within 30 feet on torch-applied roofing system operations? A minimum 3-A:40-B:C rating fire extinguisher must be readily accessible within 30 feet of the location where hot work is performed and where the fire guards are positioned. In case of fire, 911 must be called. 5.- What to do if the fire has spread? By the time the fire has spread, fire extinguishers, even if used properly, will not be adequate to extinguish the fire. Such fires should be extinguished by the building fire extinguishing systems or trained firefighters only. 7.- The Certificate of Fitness holder should be familiar? With the use of portable fire extinguishers. When it comes to using a fire-extinguisher just remember the acronym P.A.S.S. to help make sure you use it properly. P.A.S.S. stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep.
