    Explanation
    When working around apparatus, it is important to be aware of oncoming traffic. This is because the apparatus can obstruct your view and make it difficult for drivers to see you. Being aware of oncoming traffic allows you to take necessary precautions and avoid any potential accidents or injuries. It is crucial to prioritize safety and be cautious of vehicles when working around apparatus.

    Explanation
    Using the hand rails to mount and dismount a vehicle is the safest and most recommended method. This ensures stability and helps prevent accidents or injuries. It provides a secure grip and support while entering or exiting the vehicle, reducing the risk of slipping or falling. Using the hand rails also allows for better control and balance during the process, making it the correct and responsible choice.

    If the Fire Apparatus you are in is in contact with a power line you should:

    • Turn off all radios

    • Roll windows down and yell for help

    • Step off the apparatus

    • Stay in the vehicle

    Correct Answer
    A. Stay in the vehicle
    Explanation
    If the fire apparatus is in contact with a power line, it is safest to stay inside the vehicle. This is because the vehicle acts as a barrier between the occupants and the electrical current. Stepping off the apparatus can create a path for the electricity to flow through the ground and potentially harm or electrocute the person. Rolling down the windows and yelling for help is not recommended as it does not address the immediate danger of the electrical contact. Turning off all radios may be a precautionary measure, but it is not the most important action to take in this situation.

    Correct Answer
    A. 90 decibels
    Explanation
    Exposure to noise levels exceeding 90 decibels requires personnel to use earmuffs or plugs. This is because noise levels above 90 decibels can cause damage to the ears and lead to hearing loss. Earmuffs or plugs provide protection by reducing the amount of sound that reaches the ears, preventing potential harm.

Lack of training can result in poor decision-making, improper use of equipment, and inadequate response to emergencies, all of which can increase the likelihood of accidents and fatalities. Therefore, it is crucial for firefighters to receive comprehensive and ongoing training to ensure their safety and the safety of others.
