Turn Up the Heat
The mode of heat transfer occurs when two solid objects transfer heat energy through touch.
What is conduction?
Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep
What is the acronym for using a fire extinguisher?
Components of the fire triangle.
What is fuel, heat, and oxygen?
This stage of fire occurs when the fire becomes ventilation-limited or fuel limited.
What is the decay stage of fire?
PPC is designed to do these activities.
What is cover all portions of skin while reaching, bending, or moving
This mode of heat transfer occurs through the movement of hot liquids (air).
What is convection?
Wood, Paper, Plastics, and Rubber
What are examples of Class A fuels?
This fire model differs from that of the fire triangle to include the Chemical Chain Reaction.
What is the fire tetrahedron?
This is the stage fire when only the initial fuel is burning and the ambient air in the compartment remains largely unchanged.
What is the Incipient Stage
What is a PASS?
This mode of heat transfer occurs through the movement of electromagnetic waves that travel at the speed of light.
What is radiation?
Gasoline, Lighter Fluid, and Kerosine.
What are Class B fuels?
The part of the fire tetrahedron that explains vaporization and flaming combustion.
What is the Chemical Chain Reaction?
During this stage of fire, all fuel in the compartment area reaches its peak heat release rate.
What is the fully developed stage?
Moisture can transfer heat rapidly and can cause severe steam burns to the donner.
Why is it important to ensure that PPE is dry before wearing it into a compartment fire?
This is a Combustible Metal and burns with an intense white light that intensifies and reacts violently to water. When burning, it requires a Class D Extinguisher to extinguish fires.
What is magnesium?
Energized Electrical Equipment.
What is a fuel load for Class C fires?
This part of the fire tetrahedron is referred to as "fuel" in the fire triangle.
What is a reducing agent?
A back draft occurs when a fire is ventilation limited and therefore generally occurs in this stage of fire.
What is the Decay Stage?
This PPE is the most effective way to protect a Firefighters respiratory system.
What is a SCBA.
This type of ignition occurs when the decomposition of an organic matter produces heat at a faster rate than the heat can dissipate causing a fire.
What is Auto (Spontaneous) Ignition?
The process of extinguishing fires using a Class K (Clean Wet Agent) extinguisher.
What is Saponification?
This element is essential to support life and is considered to be the most prevalent catalyst in the atmosphere.
What is oxygen?
This stage of fire is most affected by fuel characteristics such as surface-to-mass ratio, position of the fuel, and types of fuel.
What is the Growth Stage?
This device is made as part of the PPC and is used to pull down Firefighters out of a structure.
DRD (Drag Rescue Device)
