    A. 1 hour
    Explanation
    The recommended time for safety personnel to arrive before a TPA event is 1 hour.

The site plan includes details such as the layout of the event area, the location of exits, and other important information that will help ensure the safety and smooth operation of the event.

Lastly, ganging chairs also discourage people from moving them around, ensuring that they remain in their designated areas. Therefore, all of the given options are correct explanations for the purpose of ganged chairs.

This annual inspection ensures that each unit is fully charged, properly placed, labeled, and functional in case of a fire emergency. While building staff can do monthly visual checks, only FDNY-approved technicians can perform the comprehensive inspection, maintenance tagging, and certification required to stay in legal compliance and ensure fire safety readiness.

    Explanation
    A dry standpipe system is a series of pipes that bring water to various points in a building when it is used by firefighters. Unlike a wet standpipe system, there is no water present in the pipes of a dry standpipe system until it is pumped into them. This allows firefighters to easily access water at different levels of a building during an emergency situation.

They have the expertise and resources to assess the situation, contain the spill, and ensure the safety of the people present. Contacting the Fire Department immediately is essential to prevent any further harm or damage that may result from the spill.

    • Class A

    • Class B

    • Class C

    • Class D

    Correct Answer
    A. Class B
    Explanation
    Class B fire extinguishers should be used on flammable or combustible liquids and gases such as oil and gasoline. Class B fires involve flammable liquids and gases, and these extinguishers are specifically designed to extinguish these types of fires. They work by smothering the flames and preventing oxygen from reaching the fuel source. Class B fire extinguishers are typically filled with a dry chemical agent, such as foam or powder, that can quickly suppress the fire and prevent it from spreading.

    Rate this question:

  • 21.

    • 20

    • 10

    • 15

    • 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 10
    Explanation
    The event coordinator should make announcements every 10 minutes prior to the start of the program to ensure audience safety. This frequency strikes the right balance between being informative without becoming disruptive. Repeating the message every 10 minutes keeps emergency exits fresh in the minds of attendees, especially as more people arrive closer to the event start time. Emergency preparedness depends on repetition and clarity, and a 10-minute interval aligns with standard safety protocols in public assembly events.

    The fire extinguisher clearance between the bottom of the extinguisher and the floor is not less than _____ inches.

    • 2

    • 4

    • 3

    • 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    The fire extinguisher clearance between the bottom of the extinguisher and the floor should be at least 4 inches. This is necessary to ensure that the extinguisher is easily accessible and can be grabbed quickly in case of a fire emergency. Having a sufficient clearance also allows for proper maintenance and inspection of the extinguisher. A clearance of 4 inches helps to prevent obstructions or debris from blocking access to the extinguisher and ensures that it can be easily seen and reached when needed.

    Rate this question:

    All fire extinguishers must be installed so that the top of the extinguisher is not more than ___ ft above the floor.

    • 3

    • 8

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    All fire extinguishers must be installed at a height of no more than 5 feet above the floor. This is because having the extinguishers within easy reach ensures that they can be accessed quickly in case of a fire emergency. Placing them at a higher height may make it difficult for people to reach them and use them effectively, potentially leading to delays in extinguishing a fire and increasing the risk of damage or injury. Therefore, it is important to adhere to the recommended installation height of 5 feet.

    Correct Answer
    A. Scanner/Hand Counter
    Explanation
    Every safety personnel posted at an event entrance should be equipped with a scanner/hand counter. This device allows them to efficiently count the number of people entering the event, ensuring that the venue does not exceed its maximum capacity. It also helps in maintaining crowd control and ensuring the safety of all attendees. Additionally, the scanner can be used to scan tickets or badges, verifying the authenticity of entry passes. This equipment is essential for effective event management and maintaining security protocols.
