Here is a part II to "A Knowledge Quiz On Fire Inspection And Code Enforcement!" Fire is one of the major risks that are facing a building, and this being said, there should be some measures that are put in place to contain it or reduce the chances of it happening. Being that you are training to be a fire See moreinspector, you need to understand the basics of fire inspection and code enforcement. Take it up and see what you know.
It is required to be enclosed within a fire-rated structure.
It must be protected with spray-on insulation or other barriers.
It must provide the same degree of fire resistance as the fire wall.
Rate this question:
They must be enclosed in a fire-resistive structure.
Combustible members must be treated with fire-resistive coatings.
No combustible structural members may penetrate a fire wall.
Rate this question:
When the facility is not sprinklered
In fire walls rated at 2 hours or more
When the doors are located in fire walls
Rate this question:
When a duct penetrates a fire wall, regardless of the fire-resistance rating.
When the duct penetrates a fire wall with a 2 hour or greater fire resistance rating
If building is greater than three stories and not fire-resistive or noncombustible construction
Breaching the party wall for any reason
Installing a non-fire rated door in a party wall
Attaching any exterior structure to the party wall
Rate this question:
Using 1/2 inch (13mm) fire-rated gypsum board applied to both sides of 2 1/2 inch (65mm) steel studs
Using concrete block with 1/2 inch (13mm) fire rated gypsum board applied to both sides
Using 1/2 inch (13mm) fire-rated gypsum board applied to fire-retardant treated 2 inch by 4 inch lumber
Rate this question:
To provide fire separation between major interior areas.
To separate interior spaces from other interior spaces
To separate the interior environment from the exterior environment
Rate this question:
To separate processes in industrial occupancies
To separate dissimilar areas within a single storage facility
To temporarily separate difference functions within a building.
Rate this question:
Trusses have a proven record of fire safety and are allowed by code for all applications.
Trusses are typically protected by insulation and thus do not pose a danger to fire crews.
Trusses use less material and are lighter than a comparable beam or joist for an equal span.
Rate this question:
Verify with the builder than the finishing material on the flooring will be non-combustible after drying.
Ensure that the manufacturer has had the flooring tested and that it has a rating of less than 100
Consult the manufacturer before accepting wood flooring where flame spread is an important factor
Rate this question:
Steel and wood
Concrete and masonry
Steel and brick
Rate this question:
The penetration must be enclosed in a fire-resistive enclosure.
The penetration is required to be enclosed with a four-hour wall.
The penetration must be enclosed only above the second floor.
Rate this question:
The space above the ceiling is protected by the sprinkler system.
The enclosure for the ceiling is constructed with a 2 hour rating.
Wires, ducts, pipes, and other materials are noncombustible or rated for plenum use
Rate this question:
In fire-resistive or noncombustible construction
Any time they serve more than three floors
When they are part of the means of egress
Rate this question:
3 to 6 inches stair rise and 9 inches stair run
4 to 7 inches stair rise and 11 inches stair run
5 to 7 inches stair rise and 12 inches stair run
Rate this question:
Occupancy load
Building contractions
Building height
Rate this question:
Means of egress
Access to the roof and ground
Signs of structural deterioration
Rate this question:
To dilute any smoke entering and make access for firefighters easy
To pull smoke out of the stairway to make exiting easier.
To pressurize the stairway and prevent smoke from entering.
Rate this question:
Fire-rated doors
Solid core doors
Swinging doors
Rate this question:
Only in residential or healthcare occupancies
Under the same conditions as swinging doors
In any appropriate location that is not part of the means of egress
Rate this question:
When the opening is too large for a swinging door
When a fire rating of 4 hours or more is needed for a large opening
For applications where doors are NOT part of the required means of egress
Rate this question:
They have minimal thermal or sound-insulating value.
They are typically filled with foam that contributes to the fire load.
They have hardware and latching mechanisms that fail early in a fire.
Rate this question:
The length of time before the door is breached by fire.
The length of time before the door allows smoke through
The length of time before the door allows intermittent flame
Rate this question:
They cannot be used in openings that are part of the means of egress.
They are required to have swinging doors located within 50 feet
They must be operated by gravity and be triggered by smoke alarms.
Rate this question:
Vertical flame spread
Surface burning characteristics
Burn through time of doors
Rate this question:
Ceiling coverings
Door coverings
Floor coverings
Rate this question:
Toxicity-rating
Fire intensity rating
Smoke-developed rating
Rate this question:
Contractors may attempt to use them as inexpensive cures for fire-protection shortcomings?
Fire retardant coatings deteriorate over time and become less capable of retarding fire.
Fire retardant coatings are corrosive and only suitable for a limited number of surfaces.
Rate this question:
Smoke alarms
Venting to the top
Sprinkler systems
Rate this question:
Sprinkler heads must protect the shaft and appropriate suppression systems must protect the motor.
No wiring, ductwork, or piping should be run within the hoistway unless it is required for the elevator.
Hoistways must be an essential element of the structure's strength and compartmentalized to reduce fire spread.
Rate this question:
They can provide a vertical path of smoke and fire as well as serve as the area of origin
Dampers and other devices must be inspected and tested during annual fire inspections.
Most of the building utilities run through chases and shafts and must be included in an inspection
Rate this question:
Automatic sprinklers at the top and in its termination room
Noncombustible containers and wetting sprays for collected refuse
A vacuum-operated drop system that isolates individual waste deposit sites.
Rate this question:
So that the dampers work properly in case of fire.
So that smoke and heat will rise out of the duct system.
To prevent any areas where grease can become trapped.
Rate this question:
An on-sire inspection
A consultation with the HVAC contractor
By reviewing the shop drawings or approved mechanical plans.
Rate this question:
Smoke alarms
Sprinkler heads
Dampers
Rate this question:
Large commercial applications
Household-sized applications
Residential applications
Rate this question:
They must be protected with special suppression systems.
They must be enclosed in special containment enclosures.
They contain hazardous chemicals and present potential hazards.
