Fire Dynamics
This is the third stage of fire development, In between Growth and Decay.
What is Fully-Developed
A Fast, thorough search performed either before or during fire suppression operations
What is a primary search
This flattened angle end of the threats of a coupling helps prevent cross-threading
What is a Higbee Cut
This building type is expected to remain structurally stable longer than others during a fire
What is Type I (Fire Resistive)
This type of heat transfers in all directions
What is Radiant
This type of transfer is when heat is moved in between solids
What is Conduction
This search method leaves the leader of the crew at a fixed point while other team members search the room
What is an Oriented Search
This hose roll allows the firefighter to control both couplings
What is a Donut Roll
This construction item serves as a connection point for wood trusses and fails quickly under fire
What is A Gusset Plate
This fitting connects two hoses of different size
What is a reducer
The temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapors to ignite, but not sustain combustion
What is flash point
This is the last letter in the acronym for VEIS operations (Vent, Enter, Isolate, )
What is Search
This liquid will cause the inner lining of the hose to rapidly separate from the outer lining
What is Gasoline
What is a Double-Hung Window
The strongest part of a pitched roof's construction
What is the ridge / ridgeline
The area in between the hot gas layers and cooler layer of air in a compartment fire
What is the neutral plane
This hose coupling indicates you are headed toward an egress point
What is the Male Coupling
This process can keep the hose from freezing when it is being used intermittently at a fire
This type of factory-built home is assembled on-site from components constructed of foam insulation sandwiched between plywood
This fire event is described as when the hot gases at the top of a compartment ignite and flames are seen across the ceiling
What is Rollover
This product of combustion targets the brain after being inhaled, ingested, or absorbed into the body, and is not able to be detected on most gas monitors
What is Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN)
An area where the door can be closed to prevent the spread of heat and smoke into that space
What is a Safe Haven
To prevent mildew build-up, this type of hose must be dried before being stored
Woven-Jacket Natural Fiber hose
A Pitched roof built overtop of an existing flat roof for aesthetic or drainage purposes
What is a Rain Roof
This locking device is mounted on the interior door surface and is used as a supplemental lock
What is a Rim Lock
