Single ladders equipped with folding hooks on one end
What is a roof ladder?
incipient, growth, fully developed fire, and decay
what are the stages of fire development?
life safety, fire attack and extinguishment, fire spread control, reduction of flashover potential, reduction of backdraft potential, and property conservation
what are the reasons for ventilation?

what does PAR stand for?
Used to keep a record of each use and the inspection/maintenance records
What is a rope logbook?
Eight to ten feet
What is the height of a residential story?

what is a rollover
the venting of heat, smoke, and gases through horizontal openings such as windws and doors
what is horizontal ventilation?
ultimately responsible for all incident activities, including the development and implementation of an incident action plan (IAP)
what is command?
2 categories of fire service rope
What are Life safety rope and utility rope?
The desired angle of inclination that the ladder should be placed for climbing
What is 75 degrees?
stage of fire at which all surfaces and objects within a space have been heated to their ignition temperature and flame breaks out almost at once over the surface of all objects in the space
what is a flashover?
generally means opening the roof or existing roof opening for the purpose of allowing heated gases and smoke to escape to the atmosphere
what is vertical ventilation?
immediately dangerous to life and health
what does IDLH stand for?
Care Clean Inspect Store
What are Four part of rope maintenance
Devices attached to the inside of the beams on fly sections used to hold the fly section in place after it has been extended
What is the pawls? (also accept dogs or ladder locks)
conduction, convection, and radiation
what three mechanisms can heat be transferred from one body to another?
4ft by 4ft
when ventilating a residential structure what size hole should you cut?
oxygen, fuel, heat, and a self-sustained chemical chain reaction
what is the fire tetrahedron?
specifies requirements for life safety rope and associated equipment used to support emergency services personnel and civilians during rescue, firefighting or other emergency operations, or during training.
What is a NFPA 1983
Tendency of smoke, heat and other products of combustion to rise until they encounter a horizontal obstruction
What is horizontal smoke spread
instantaneous explosion or rapid burning of superheated gases that occurs when oxygen is introduced into an oxygen-depleted confined space
what is a backdraft
defensive tactic that invloves cutting an exit opening in the roof of a burning building, extending from one outside wall to the other, to create an opening at which a spreding fire may be cut off
what is trench ventilation
Occurs when the flow of water in a hose line is stopped suddenly resulting in a water surge
What is a water hammer?
