true
Fuses and circuit breakers provide protection against electrical short circuits, ground/earth faults,and load currents that might be damaging (i.e. overloads) to the building electrical system.Properly functioning circuit protection may allow the elimination of the buildings wiring system as a potential cause of the fire.
a.True
b.False
false
In pre-flashover conditions the primary heat transfer mechanism for fire spread through a
compartment is radiation.
a.True
b.False
false
In a compartment, flashover occurs because convective heat energy raises combustible to their auto-ignition temperature.
a.True
b.False
true
Combustion may continue with available oxygen concentrations lower than 1 percent.
a.True
b.False
true
The way structures react in a fire often influence how the fire grows and spreads as well as how theymaintain their structural integrity during the fire. Therefore, the fire investigator should considerthe type of structure and method of construction when completing the analysis of fire growth and spread as a part of their fire investigation.
a.True
b.False
false
Materials which have been properly treated with flame-retardants will not undergo pyrolysis andfor this reason will not ignite.
a.True
b.False
empirical
Data that is based on observation or experience and can be verified is called:
a.Anecdotal data
b.Empirical data
c.Qualitative data
d.Categorical data
true
Inductive reasoning is when all available empirical data is analyzed using the investigator’s experience, training, knowledge and expertise.
a.True
b.False
deductive reasoning
Testing of a hypothesis by comparing the investigators hypothesis to all known facts is using____________ reasoning.
a.Deductive
b.Inductive
c.Both A and B
d.Neither A or B

A diagram that places, in a logical sequence, the conditions and chains of events that are necessaryfor a fire or explosion to occur is called:
a.Timeline
b.Systems analysis
c.Fault tree
d.Computer modeling
true
Protected areas result from an object or item prohibiting the products of combustion from depositingon materials which the object protects.
a.True
b.False
backdraft
A deflagration resulting from the sudden introduction of air into a confined space containing oxygendeficient products of incomplete combustion.
a.Flashover
b.Flameover
c.Smoke Explosion
d.Backdraft
