Across
  1. 2. (1) The path of the material released from a container in a hazardous materials incident. (2) The smoke column from a fire.
  2. 5. Fire extinguisher using a chemically active powder.
  3. 11. Change in factors affecting the incident, including personnel fatigue, time of day, structural weakening, and so forth.
  4. 13. Inside of the nose, mouth, and covering of the eye.
  5. 14. Spark created when electrical contact is made.
  6. 15. A quickly created wildland fire control line, constructed using hand tools.
  7. 16. The sides of an advancing wildland fire.
  8. 19. A place where fire fighters can be safe from the incident's hazards.
  9. 20. Device used to release unwanted pressure.
  10. 22. Coated with a harmful substance.
  11. 23. Walls that extend above the roof line.
  12. 28. A type of petroleum product storage tank construction with a vapor space over the product. The lid is connected to the tank with a weak seam that will rupture before the tank wall seams.
  13. 29. A screen of water spray set up to protect exposures.
  14. 30. A preplanned and understood route to a safety zone.
  15. 33. The pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure at which a container will fail.
  16. 34. The pounds per square inch of pressure that a tank is designed to contain.
Down
  1. 1. Atmosphere that is capable of causing death, irreversible adverse health effects, or the impairment of an individual's ability to escape.
  2. 3. Plumbing installed on a tank to allow for the introduction of foam under the surface of the contained liquid.
  3. 4. Oil containing polychlorinated biphenyl, a compound that can cause cancer.
  4. 6. A behavioral modification training system developed by the aviation industry to reduce its accident rate. It is based on the assumption that human error is the primary cause of fire-ground fatalities and injuries, and by using this training the fire service can reduce the number of negative outcomes.
  5. 7. The two errors and seven barriers common to poor decision making.
  6. 8. Trees that have burned out at the base or are liable to drop large limbs. Dead trees are often called snags; these are classified as hazard trees as well.
  7. 9. A rapid search of all involved and exposed areas affected by the fire that can be entered to verify a removal and/or safety of all occupants. Should this not be possible, a secondary search is conducted as soon as it is safe to do so.
  8. 10. Horizontal blades that create lift for a helicopter.
  9. 12. The long tubular shaped feet that helicopters sit on when on the ground.
  10. 17. Cutting attachment for a rescue tool.
  11. 18. Reducing the hazard, making less severe.
  12. 21. A lobby on a high floor level in a high-rise building. Elevators leave from this area to service the upper floors.
  13. 24. Areas of unburned fuel within a fire perimeter.
  14. 25. Boundaries for controlled access (hazardous materials). The fire's edge (wildland).
  15. 26. Physically removed of contaminants from people or equipment.
  16. 27. Abbreviation for "boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion", it is an explosion that occurs when a tank containing volatile liquid at the bottom of the tank and a flammable gas at the top of the tank is heated to the point where the tank ruptures.
  17. 31. Disease-causing agents.
  18. 32. Vertical propeller used for steering control that is installed on the tail of a helicopter.
