  • check the side view mirrors identify the true statement about a fire apparatus with automatic transmission. - correct answer gives you the option of selecting a gear all of the following statements about driving a fire apparatus through areas of restrictive horizontal vertical clearance are true EXCEPT. - correct answer use the appropriate turn signal.

identify three things you should do when turning fire apparatus 180 degrees. - correct answer -use the side view mirrors equipped on the fire apparatus.

  • make sure you can see your spotter
  • be aware of any extractions in your line of travel NFPA standard 1002 requires a driver / operator operate the fire apparatus over a predetermined route on public roadway that incorporates all the following EXCEPT. - correct answer 2 through intersections & one intersection that requires you to stop. identify four skills demonstrated during the Ally dock exercise. - correct answer - moving the apparatus backwards within a restricted area
  • interpreting spotter signals
  • using side view mirrors -operating the fire apparatus safely A hose has a flow rate of 50 GPM with friction loss of 2 psi. If the flow rate increases 200 GPM then the friction laws will increase to? - correct answer 32 psi if a 3 inch hose is flowing a 150 gpm and a 2 inch hose is flowing at 150gpm then: - correct answer the 2 inch hose is flowing at a higher velocity. hand lines can operate at flow rates up to - correct answer 350 GPM bouncing water off the inside wall of a nozzle bore to create fall pattern is called - correct answer periphery deflection determine the appropriate TLP for the hose assembly in which there is 500 feet of 4 inch supply line wide in to 2 and 1/2 in attack lines that are 200 ft long period each attack line is flowing 250 GPM - correct answer 60 psi if water is flowing through 200 ft of 5 inch hose at 300 GPM, then the theoretical friction loss is approximately - correct answer 1.44 PSI
  • designed for positive pressure - collapse under negative pressure One characteristic of discharge pressure relief valves is that they. - correct answer they are slow to close after being open one of the drawbacks of a piston positive displacement pump is that - correct answer fire stream tends to pulsate the pump whose rotor is mounted off center is the - correct answer rotary vane position displacement pump the first strategy for applying phone to a standing full of fuel is to - correct answer sweep the foam stream above the burning liquid & allow for it to float down. when using a standard fog nozzle with Class A foam, little or no performance Improvement has been shown in the concentrations over - correct answer 0.5 % if the required application rate of Class A Foam for a 2,000 square foot fire its 0. gpm, & the nozzle gpm is 200, then the nozzle will. - correct answer fall short of the application rate by 0.15 gpm if the standpipe for building with only one stamp buyers totally unusable - correct answer as a last resort lay supply hose up an interior stairway discharge pressure for pumping operations involving standpipe system can be found
  • correct answer checking the pre-incident plan during service testing it is important that the water temperature be between - correct answer 35° F and 90° F testing a flow meter consists of - correct answer connecting hose line equipped with solid stream nozzle to each discharge being tested
