    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Class A fires typically involve common combustible materials such as wood, paper, and textiles. Class B fires, on the other hand, involve flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, and alcohol.

    Are Class D fire combustible metals and combustible metal alloys?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Yes" because Class D fires involve combustible metals and combustible metal alloys. These types of fires are caused by substances such as magnesium, titanium, sodium, potassium, and lithium, which can ignite and burn at high temperatures. It is important to use specialized extinguishing agents, such as dry powder, to effectively extinguish Class D fires and prevent further damage.

The frequency of checking fire extinguishers depends on various factors such as the type of extinguisher, its location, and the specific regulations or guidelines set by local authorities or fire safety organizations. While weekly checks may be excessive, it is still important to ensure that fire extinguishers are inspected and maintained at regular intervals to ensure their effectiveness in case of an emergency.

This ensures that the fire extinguishers are in proper working condition and ready to be used in case of a fire emergency. Regular maintenance helps to identify any issues or malfunctions with the extinguishers and allows for necessary repairs or replacements to be made. By conducting annual maintenance, the FDNY and W-96 Certificate of Fitness holder ensure the safety and effectiveness of fire extinguishers in various locations.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Does a fireguard approach a fire from a downwind direction?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    A fireguard does not approach a fire from a downwind direction because doing so would put them at risk of being engulfed by the flames and smoke. Approaching a fire from the downwind side would expose them to the full force of the fire and make it difficult to control or extinguish the fire effectively. Therefore, it is safer for a fireguard to approach a fire from an upwind direction, where the wind is blowing away from the fire, reducing the risk of being caught in the fire's path.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    What is combustible material?

    • Iron

    • Paper

    • Propane gas

    • Oil

    Correct Answer
    A. Paper
    Explanation
    Combustible materials are substances that can catch fire and burn easily. Paper is a combustible material because it is made from plant fibers that can be easily ignited and sustain a fire. Iron, on the other hand, is not combustible as it requires extremely high temperatures to ignite. Propane gas and oil are also combustible materials as they can easily catch fire and burn.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Are Class B & C fires wood and metal?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    Class B fires involve flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, and grease, while Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment. Wood and metal are not specifically mentioned in the question, so it cannot be concluded that Class B and C fires involve them. Therefore, the correct answer is "No."

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    If a fire occurs, the fire guard must call the Construction site Fire Safety Manager and owner of the premise.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In the event of a fire, the fire guard is responsible for taking immediate action to extinguish the fire and ensure the safety of the construction site. They should also notify the Construction site Fire Safety Manager and the owner of the premise, but it is not their sole responsibility. Other individuals on the construction site, such as workers or supervisors, may also have the authority to notify these individuals. Therefore, the statement that the fire guard must call the Construction site Fire Safety Manager and owner of the premise is false.
