NFPA Certified Fire Protection Specialist CFPS Exam Practice Test

Answer : C

The data of a pre-incident plan should be evaluated after an incident, as part of the post incident critique or analysis. This is to assess the accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of the pre-incident plan, and to identify any changes or updates needed based on the lessons learned from the incident. Evaluating the pre-incident plan after an incident can also help improve the emergency response performance and the fire safety management of the site. Reference: 123

Answer : D

Fuel oil is a liquid fuel derived from petroleum that can be used in grain dryers as an alternative to natural gas or propane. Fuel oil is typically classified into six grades, from No. 1 to No. 6, based on their viscosity, sulfur content, and boiling point. No. 2 fuel oil is the most common grade used for heating purposes, including grain drying.Fuel oil has a higher energy density and lower cost than natural gas or propane, but it also produces more emissions and requires more storage and handling12

A Class I standpipe system provides 2 1/2 in. (65 mm) hose connections at designated locations in a building for use by the fire department. A Class I standpipe system is intended to supply water for fire fighting operations by trained personnel using hoses of 1 1/2 in. (40 mm), 1 3/4 in. (45 mm), or 2 in. (50 mm) nominal diameters. A Class I standpipe system is required to deliver a minimum flow rate of 250 gpm (946 L/min) at a minimum residual pressure of 100 psi (6.9 bar) at the most remote hose connection. Reference:

Answer : C

According to NFPA 72, the maximum sound pressure level (SPL) for a fire alarm system is 110 dBA at the minimum hearing distance from the audible appliance 1. However, this limit can be exceeded if the sound pressure level measured 2 000 mm above floor level is not more than 100 dBA 2. Sound pressure level is a measure of the intensity of sound at a given point in space, expressed in decibels (dB). The higher the SPL, the louder the sound. For comparison, a normal conversation is about 60 dB, a jet engine is about 140 dB, and a gunshot is about 160 dB 3.

Answer : C

According to NFPA 13, Table 17.4.2.1 (a), the maximum distance between hangers for an automatic fire sprinkler system for a threaded lightwall steel pipe of 2 in. diameter is 10 ft. This is done to ensure that there are not long stretches of unsecured piping that could sag, leak, or break. The distance between hangers may vary depending on the type of pipe, the type of hanger, and the seismic design category of the building.
