Across
- 2. (1) The path of the material released from a container in a hazardous materials incident. (2) The smoke column from a fire.
- 5. Fire extinguisher using a chemically active powder.
- 11. Change in factors affecting the incident, including personnel fatigue, time of day, structural weakening, and so forth.
- 13. Inside of the nose, mouth, and covering of the eye.
- 14. Spark created when electrical contact is made.
- 15. A quickly created wildland fire control line, constructed using hand tools.
- 16. The sides of an advancing wildland fire.
- 19. A place where fire fighters can be safe from the incident's hazards.
- 20. Device used to release unwanted pressure.
- 22. Coated with a harmful substance.
- 23. Walls that extend above the roof line.
- 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.
- 29. A screen of water spray set up to protect exposures.
- 30. A preplanned and understood route to a safety zone.
- 33. The pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure at which a container will fail.
- 34. The pounds per square inch of pressure that a tank is designed to contain.
Down
- 1. Atmosphere that is capable of causing death, irreversible adverse health effects, or the impairment of an individual's ability to escape.
- 3. Plumbing installed on a tank to allow for the introduction of foam under the surface of the contained liquid.
- 4. Oil containing polychlorinated biphenyl, a compound that can cause cancer.
- 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.
- 7. The two errors and seven barriers common to poor decision making.
- 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.
- 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.
- 10. Horizontal blades that create lift for a helicopter.
- 12. The long tubular shaped feet that helicopters sit on when on the ground.
- 17. Cutting attachment for a rescue tool.
- 18. Reducing the hazard, making less severe.
- 21. A lobby on a high floor level in a high-rise building. Elevators leave from this area to service the upper floors.
- 24. Areas of unburned fuel within a fire perimeter.
- 25. Boundaries for controlled access (hazardous materials). The fire's edge (wildland).
- 26. Physically removed of contaminants from people or equipment.
- 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.
- 31. Disease-causing agents.
- 32. Vertical propeller used for steering control that is installed on the tail of a helicopter.
