An outdoor fire, for ceremonial purpose having a fuel diameter area of 3 feet or less and a height of 2 feet or less, is a/an _______________.
- A.
Bonfire
- B.
Recreational Fire
- C.
Open Burn
- D.
Rubbish Fire
Correct Answer
B. Recreational FireExplanation
A recreational fire is the correct answer because it fits the description of an outdoor fire for ceremonial purposes with specific size limitations. A bonfire is usually larger in size and not necessarily for ceremonial purposes. An open burn refers to burning of materials in an open area without any restrictions on size or purpose. A rubbish fire refers to burning of waste materials. Therefore, recreational fire is the most suitable option.Rate this question:

Ace Print Shop has a two (2) remote, 36” exit doors. The building has a gross floor area of 6,000 square feet and is unsprinklered. Answer the following questions: How many occupants would the egress width of 36” per door allow?
- A.
72
- B.
144
- C.
180
- D.
360
Correct Answer
C. 180Explanation
The egress width of 36" per door allows for a certain number of occupants to safely exit the building in case of an emergency. To calculate this, we need to divide the total egress width (36" x 2 = 72") by the required egress width per occupant (72" / 0.4" = 180). Therefore, the correct answer is 180 occupants.Rate this question:

Ace Print Shop has a two (2) remote, 36” exit doors. The building has a gross floor area of 6,000 square feet and is unsprinklered. Answer the following questions: If this building had an egress stair, how much egress width per person is required?
- A.
.2
- B.
.3
- C.
.7
- D.
.15
Correct Answer
B. .3Explanation
The correct answer is .3. In order to determine the required egress width per person, we need to divide the total egress width by the total number of occupants. Since the question does not provide information about the number of occupants, we cannot calculate the exact value. However, based on general building codes and regulations, a minimum egress width per person is typically around .3 inches.Rate this question:

At what amount does the storage, use, or handling (at normal temperature and pressure) of Corrosive gases require an operational permit?
- A.
5 cubic feet
- B.
100 cubic feet
- C.
200 cubic feet
- D.
Any amount
Correct Answer
C. 200 cubic feetExplanation
The storage, use, or handling of Corrosive gases requires an operational permit when the amount exceeds 200 cubic feet. This means that if the quantity of Corrosive gases is equal to or less than 200 cubic feet, an operational permit is not required. However, if the amount exceeds 200 cubic feet, it is necessary to obtain an operational permit.Rate this question:

The minimum width of a means of egress in a tent is__________ inches.
- A.
32
- B.
36
- C.
44
- D.
72
Correct Answer
D. 72Explanation
The minimum width of a means of egress in a tent is 72 inches. This is because a means of egress is a pathway or exit route that allows people to safely escape from a building or structure in case of an emergency. In order to accommodate a large number of people evacuating, the width of the egress needs to be wide enough to ensure a smooth and efficient flow of people. A width of 72 inches provides enough space for people to pass through comfortably and quickly, reducing the risk of congestion or blockage during an emergency situation.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. GravityExplanation
Flammable liquids should not be dispensed from tanks, drums, barrels, or similar containers by gravity at garages. This is because gravity dispensing can lead to spills and increase the risk of fire and explosions. Using gravity to transfer flammable liquids can result in uncontrolled flow and potential ignition sources, posing a significant safety hazard. Therefore, alternative methods such as dippers, pressure, or siphon pumps should be used for safe and controlled dispensing of flammable liquids.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 4Explanation
Based on the information given, the building has a total area of 12,000 square feet and has 4-foot draft curtains. To determine the number of curtained areas, we need to divide the total area by the area covered by each curtain. If each curtain covers an area of 4 feet, then the total number of curtained areas would be 12,000 divided by 4, which equals 3,000. However, since the question specifies that the building has 4 draft curtains, the correct answer would be 4.Rate this question:
