Q

Types of roofs (5)

A
  • Flat
  • Pitched
  • Arched
  • Concrete
  • Metal
17
Q

Type of roof composed of relatively short timbers of uniform length, beveled and bored at the ends where they are bolted together at an angle to form an interlocking network of structural timbers

A

Truss-less Arched Roof

- or Lamella Roof

18
Q

A popular, lightweight material made of gypsum plaster and Portland cement mixed with fillers such as perlite, vermiculite, or sand

A

Lightweight Concrete

19
Q

Type of construction where plywood panels are supported by purlins between laminated wooden beams or gusseted wooden trusses that span from outside wall to outside wall

A

Lightweight Construction

20
Q

Conventional subfloor construction has been replaced by…

A

Open web trusses or wooden I-beams

21
Q

Purpose of preincident survey

A

To provide emergency response personnel with information about the occupancy that they will need should a fire or other emergency develop on the premises

22
Q

A rough drawing of a building that is prepared during the facility survey

A

Field Sketch

23
Q

The bulk of fuel available to burn and generally refers to the contents of a building

A

Fuel Load

24
Q

Standard for Smoke and Heat Venting

A

NFPA 204 (2002/2006)

25
Q

Release heat and smoke to the outside through vents that work automatically and are placed at the highest point of a roof or wall to limit the spread of fire within a building

A

Automatic roof and wall vents

26
Q

Release heat and smoke from atriums

A

Atrium vents

27
Q

Release heat and smoke to the outside from square or rectangular structures that usually penetrate the roofs of single story buildings but may be found on high rise buildings as well

A

Monitors

28
Q

Ventilate heat and smoke in the event of fire. These equipped with thermoplastic panels or ordinary window glass can act as automatic vents because the temperature of a fire will melt the plastic or break the glass

A

Skylights

29
Q

Consist of fire resistive half walls that extend down from the underside of a roof to limit the horizontal spread of heat and smoke by confining them to a relatively small area directly over their sources

A

Curtain Boards or Draft Curtains

30
Q

Three major tasks of any preincident plan

A
  • Gather the data
  • Enter the data into databases
  • Keep the data current
31
Q

Indicate how buildings are situated with respect to other buildings and streets in the area

A

Plot plans

32
Q

Show the layout of individual floors, subfloors, and roofs

A

Floor plans

33
Q

Show side views of structures that depict the number of floors in buildings and grades of the surrounding ground

A

Elevations
