- 23. it is the actual physical fire fighting operation utilizing available manpower and equipment.
- 25. conditions that are conducive to fire or are likely to increase the extent of severity of fire.
- 26. a colorless, odorless gas and one of the compositions of air which is approximately 21 % by volume.
- 27. it is the science that deals with the study of matter and energy and their mutual interactions.
- 30. it is the manner in which fuel ignites, flame develops, and fire spreads.
- 33. the temperature at which a material is not hot enough to keep burning, but still gives off enough vapors to cause a flame to “flash” across the surface.
- 38. it is a device used for making a connection when threads do not match or when they are different in sizes.
- 39. are those that remain when other products of combustion cool to normal temperature.
- 40. is putting the fire completely out.
- 41. the movement and dispersion of heat by conduction, radiation, or convection.
- 43. a four-sided, solid geometric figure that resembles a pyramid, with one of the sides forming the base. Each side indicates one of the four elements required to have fire.
- 46. gas which remains as liquefied gas in its container at temperature far below normal temperature
- 47. can generate temperatures high enough to ignite any combustible materials near the heated area.
- 48. the removal of the fuel, as in the example of turning off a valve in a gas line prevents the fuel and oxygen from coming together
- 49. also called hydrocyanic acid and prussic acid, extremely poisonous, colorless liquid with a bitter-almond odor.
Down
- 1. it is the science that deals with the study of matter which treats of the structure, composition, and properties of substances and of the transformations which they undergo.
- 3. physical removal of contaminants (chemicals) from people, equipment, or the environment; most often used to described the process of cleaning to remove chemicals from a person.
- 6. the official report of a fire, generally prepared by the person in-charge of the fire incident.
- 7. is the most effective in cooling the burning material below its ignition temperature.
- 8. it is the transfer of heat by circulation of heated currents of liquids and gases.
- 9. an adaptation of the bow and the drill.
- 11. excludes the oxygen from the fuel so that the gases or vapors of the fuel cannot ignite and continue the combustion
- 12. means slowing down the rte of burning
- 13. a colorless flammable poisonous gas with a characteristics smell of rotten eggs.
- 14. a chemical change in which combustible material (fuel) and an oxidizing agent react.

- 31. the measure of thermal degree of agitation of the molecules of a given substance; the measure of the molecular activity within a substance.
- 32. fire causes where human action is involved directly or indirectly.
- 34. it is any department of knowledge in which the results of investigation have been systematized in the form of hypotheses and general laws subject to verification
- 35. it is the luminous body of a burning gas which gets hotter and less luminous when mixed with more oxygen.
- 36. An energy created by friction and compression.
- 37. the transfer of heat from one body to another by direct contact (electric stove electrode to utensil), within the same body (metal rod heated at one end).
- 42. it is the rapid oxidation of combustible materials accompanied by the released of energy in the form of heat and light.
- 44. these are smallest particles of elements that take part in a chemical reaction
- 45. it is the main structural member of a ladder supporting the rungs or rung block.
- 46. means keeping the fire from spreading or holding the fire to one area.
