FirefightersSecure building utilities (restaurant, day)
The building is a restaurant. It happens during the day. With tools and an assignment, you shut off a building's natural gas and electricity safely. It is station 4-11 of Ohio's Firefighter I practical exam (NFPA 1001 4.3.18).
Free to startThis scenario
- The building is a restaurant.
- It happens during the day.
The steps
- Identify the utility control devices.
- Assess the hazards.
- Operate the control valves and switches correctly.
- No unsafe act during the evaluation.
To pass
- All 4 steps.
- The assignment always includes both the natural gas and the electricity; both can be simulated without live utility connections.
- For the electricity, operate the main switch and leave the individual breakers as you found them, to help find the cause of the fire; not doing it is not a critical failure.
- The evaluator can stop the station at any time for an unsafe act.
