Sample F2 questions

Straight from the bank — answers highlighted, with the explanation underneath.

Per NFPA 1901, what is the minimum rated fire pump capacity required for an apparatus to be classified as a pumper?

  1. 500 gpm (1893 L/min)
  2. 750 gpm (2839 L/min)
  3. 1000 gpm (3785 L/min)
  4. 1250 gpm (4731 L/min)
WhyNFPA 1901 defines a pumper as a fire apparatus with a permanently mounted fire pump of at least 750 gpm (2839 L/min), a water tank, and a hose body. 500 gpm is below the pumper threshold, and 1000/1250 gpm are common but not the minimum.

Two technicians are discussing the optical warning system on a fire apparatus. Technician A says the warning zones are designated A through D, with Zone A at the front and Zone C at the rear. Technician B says that when the apparatus is stopped at an incident and placed in the 'blocking the right-of-way' mode, the forward-facing white/clear warning lights are allowed to be automatically switched off. Who is correct?

  1. Technician A only
  2. Technician B only
  3. Both Technicians A and B
  4. Neither Technician
WhyBoth are correct: NFPA 1901 designates Zones A (front), B (right), C (rear), and D (left), and it requires that forward-facing white/clear flashing lights be capable of being automatically disabled in the blocking (scene) mode to avoid blinding oncoming motorists.

During hard braking on a response, an SCBA ejects from its seat-back bracket and strikes an occupant. What is the MOST likely cause?

  1. The seat belt was adjusted too tightly
  2. The bracket's positive-locking retention was worn, not engaged, or non-compliant
  3. The SCBA cylinder was overfilled
  4. The apparatus exceeded its GVWR
WhyAn SCBA that leaves its holder under a normal braking load points to a failed, disengaged, or under-rated retention device, which must hold 9 G; belt tension, cylinder fill, and GVWR would not cause the bracket to release.
