bb xplanation:
(MDs Chap.1 4.7.2)
In old law tenement store fires, the 1st line should be stretched to the store and the 2nd line to the entrance hallway. For new law tenements (such as H-Types), the 2nd line will back up the 1st line and if not needed it should be advanced to the floor above the fir

C: Position the apparatus parallel to the fire building to equalize outrigger pressure and operate the boom at narrow angles over the front or rear of the apparatus when working at low elevations.
D: Position the apparatus nearly perpendicular to the fire building to reduce outrigger pressure and operate the boom at narrow angles over the front or rear of the apparatus when working at low elevations.

Question 11:
Two captains discussing old law tenements that have been converted into single room occupancies (SROs) made the following statements. In how many were they correct?
It is no longer permitted to convert OLTs to SROs.
In existing SROs individual rooms are equipped with locks, many with padlocks on the outside. The presence of a locked padlock is an indication that the room is empty.
The layout of rooms must be arranged so that each occupant has access to either the interior stairs or a fire escape without having to go through another person’s room.
These buildings require sprinklers in each room and the stairway that are supplied by either a roof tank or the water main in the street. They must also be able to be supplied by the Fire Department.
These SROs require an interior alarm system, exit lights and signs.
A: 5
B: 4
C: 3
D: 2
Explanation: d
(MDs Chap.1 3.8.3)
In existing SROs individual rooms are equipped with locks, many with padlocks on the outside. Do not assume that the room is empty. They must be searched. The layout of rooms must be arranged so that each occupant has access to BOTH the interior stairs and fire escape without having to go through another person’s room. These buildings require sprinklers in each room and the stairway that are supplied by the water main in the street (they DO NOT have roof tanks). They CANNOT be supplied by the Fire Department. d
Question 18:
You are on scene of a structural fire involving a building under construction using cast in place construction . The cast in place construction presents serious fire and collapse hazards that members might encounter. From you LTQ study days, you are trying to remember the safety concerns involving this type of cast in place construction. The incorrect safety concern can be found in which choice?
A: The most recent poured floor is “shored” up by using 4”x4” wooden timbers as columns are spaced every 4 feet on center extending from the floor to the underside of the plywood form above
B: The storage of sheets of plywood and wooden timbers previously stripped from a cured floor are found on the floor below the most recent poured floor, which is a major safety concern during fast moving fires (temporary storage floor)
C: Structural damage is a general concern in this building on the most recently poured floor; however, collapse will usually not occur on the temporary storage floor which is found 2 floors below the most recently poured floor
D: If the fire is on floor 20, floors 1-12 are generally not a safety concern because these floors will be “Re-Shored” using 4”x4” wooden timbers as columns are spaced every 8 feet on center extending from the floor to the underside of the plywood form above
b Explanation:
The storage of sheets of plywood and wooden timbers previously stripped from a cured floor are found on 2 floors below the most recent poured floor.
The Temporary Storage floor generally will not collapse. The problem on this floor is usually the fast moving fire caused by both heavy fire load and large open horizontal and vertical areas. The flames and heat generated will travel up through open stairs and shafts, exposing the supports and forms of a recently poured floor above

Question 39:
Which type of roof system is considered the most common type of peaked roof in lightweight private dwelling construction?
A: Lightweight open-web steel truss
B: Open-web lightweight wood truss
C: Lightweight parallel chord truss
D: Composite truss
Explanation: b
(PDs Chap 6 2.2.5A)
When an open-web lightweight wood truss peaked roof is exposed to sufficient fire, the rafters, roof decking and ceiling joists can be expected to collapse as one complete unit into the structure, exposing firefighters to falling and burning debris.
uestion 40:
At a 4-story tenement fire, fire is showing from the cellar and first floor. The front fire escape is overcrowded. Interior stairs may become untenable. Which action is most correct regarding portable ladder placement?
A: Raise a portable ladder adjacent to and above the fire area and place a ladder to the first balcony opposite the drop ladder.
B: Raise a ladder to the second balcony first, and if time permits place a second portable ladder to the first balcony next to the drop ladder.
C: Raise a portable ladder adjacent to and above the fire area and place the first relief ladder directly next to the drop ladder.
D: Raise a ladder to the first balcony and place the ladder directly on the fire escape at least two feet above the railing.
a Explanation:
Ladders 1 sec. 7.4, 10.1 2nd bullet
A is Correct.
Fire escapes often become overcrowded when there is a fire anywhere within the building. Under these conditions, a portable ladder should be raised to the first balcony at a point opposite the drop ladder. If more relief for the fire escape is required, another portable ladder should be raised to the second balcony.
