Across
- 3. Stopping the apparatus short of the incident, not committed to the block or complex, remaining readily deployable to any location on the incident.
- 6. Attacking the seat of the fire from the interior of the structure.
- 8. Search of the structure either primary or secondary in which we have a hose line to protect the searchers.
- 11. Control or limiting of entry/egress doors until fire is under control, when possible.
- 15. Attacking the seat of the fire from the exterior of the structure.
- 17. Conditions Actions Air Needs
- 18. Within the same opening, heated gasses escape at a high point while fresh air is drawn in below.
- 20. Hose is deployed from the pumper at the incident scene back to the water source.
- 23. Initial quick search of the floors of a structure to ensure there are no obvious victims.
- 24. Primary suppression line for initial attack, either offensive exterior or interior attack.
- 25. Damage to the structure either through fire, water, or salvage operations, has stopped.
- 26. The main seat of the fire has been found the fire progression has been slowed or stopped.
- 28. A fire where the heat release rate and fire spread are regulated by the available oxygen in a space.
- 30. Composed of at least one inlet opening and one exhaust opening, and the connecting volume between the openings. The direction of flow is determined by the difference in pressure. Heat and smoke in a high-pressure area will flow towards areas of lower pressure.
- 32. Ventilating at a point above the fire through existing or created openings and channeling the contaminated atmosphere vertically within the structure and out the top.
- 33. Hose line used to protect the egress of fire attack crews.
- 34. With this search method the team leader remains ________ to one place in the structure, such as the hose, the wall or an exit.
- 35. Mechanical fans can be used to provide positive or negative pressure ventilation when used in tandem with either existing openings such as windows, skylights or heat/smoke vents on the roof; or by cutting new exhaust vents in the building.
Down
- 1. Fire is no longer a threat of progressing.
- 2. Mechanically increasing the pressure gradient of a compartment inside a structure.
- 4. Air entering one opening and exiting from another typically low to high.
- 5. The entire structure has had a primary and secondary search complete on all floors and no victims have been located.
- 7. Operation of entering the structure on an unprotected search, isolate the compartment and conduct a rapid search in that compartment. After search/rescue of that compartment crew-members exit the structure.
- 9. Any technique by which heat smoke and other products of combustion are channeled horizontally out of a structure by way of existing or created horizontal openings such as windows door or other openings in walls.
- 10. The coordinated use of mechanical ventilation to help with fire suppression.
- 12. Improve access/egress in and around the fire building to include forcible entry, window bar removal, lights at doorways, egress ladders, fence access, and other possible obstruction removal.
- 13. Ventilation accomplished by using a spray stream to draw the smoke from a compartment through an exterior opening.
- 14. Next line in to support and assist the “Attack Line” in fire attack. Hose line may be utilized to cover another floor, exposed area, etc.
- 16. Designated area where all incoming resources will be staged and directed by an assigned staging officer or incident commander.
- 19. Taking the heat and energy from a fire with a directed hose stream from an exterior location; with the expectation that you will transition to an offensive interior attack at some point.
- 21. Supply hose is deployed from the water source to the incident location.
- 22. Assessment of the ventilation needs and possibilities of a structure.
- 27. The search of an area without the protection of a hose line.
- 29. Attacking the fire from a safe distant exterior or uninvolved flanking location taking energy away and extinguishing, with an emphasis on protecting exposures.
- 31. Thorough search of the floors of a structure to ensure there are no obvious victims.
