Fire Inspector
Chapter 4
Knowledge Check
1.
There are several basic building elements that are found in every structure including a structural frame and:
wall coverings.
load-bearing walls.
heavy-timber walls.
precast concrete floors.
2.
What makes wood trusses appealing in Type V structures?
They are noncombustible.
They reduce structural redundancy.
They are extremely heavy and provide more stability.
They can support large loads over relatively large spans.
3.
What conditions contribute to the high fire load of mercantile occupancies?
The number of available points of egress
No specific conditions contribute to the fire load
The arrangement of merchandise on display and in storage
The fire protection and suppression system installed in the building
4.
Type I structures are composed of only materials.
wood
natural
combustible
noncombustible
5.
What determines the occupancy classification of a one- or two-family dwelling?
Degree of fire safety in place
Number of people in residence
Degree of fire separation of units
Number of available points of egress
6.
Model code organizations have developed classifications that separate each occupancy into risk categories based upon:
the fuel load.
the cost to rebuild after a fire.
the use of the structure or space.
response time of the closest fire department.
7.
Interior building elements in Type IV construction:
There are no voids under the floors.
Interior building elements are noncombustible.
The structural elements used in construction are stronger than in the other construction types.
The structural elements form an insulating effect that reduce heat penetration to the inside of the beam.
y are Type IV structures more resistant to collapse than other construction types?
8.
Why do educational occupancies present significant challenges for inspectors?
Risk of fire is very high
Architectural design of the building
Facilities are used for a wide variety of activities
Cannot perform inspections during school hours
9.
The majority of local building codes are based on
model codes
review plans
local standards
federal requirements developed by third-party organizations.
10.
A is an example of a common Type III structure.
barn
mercantile structure
government building
single-family residence
11.
Wood I-joists are efficient and light, but they are:
difficult to find.
very expensive.
susceptible to fire damage.
very complicated to install.
12.
What are some of the elements an inspector should look out for in a structure that has been converted from a warehouse to apartments?
New owners and occupants
Amended insurance ratings
The storage capacity of the new building
Fire protection systems, exit signage, emergency lighting
13.
Why is it important for an inspector to monitor the amount of wood trim or wall coverings in a Type I structure?
Owners/occupants perceive these items as fireproof.
These items do not impact the fire-resistance rating.
Type I structures are not allowed to have these types of materials present.
Owners may install greater amounts of these materials than is allowed by local code exceptions.
14.
Which construction type is the strictest in terms of the amount of combustible materials allowed?
Type I
Type II
Type IV
Type V
15.
Why is it important for inspectors to keep specific, official records about apartment buildings?
Because the occupants change so often
Inspectors do not inspect apartment buildings
To ensure consistency between building owners
Each apartment building presents a unique set of problems
16.
The National Building Code of Canada (NBC) defines three types of building construction:
Type A, Type B, and Type C.
Type I, Type II, and Type HI.
Combustible, noncombustible, and heavy-timber.
Combustible, noncombustible, and prefabricated.
17.
An inspector should evaluate factory/industrial structures based upon those requirements that pertain to the
ructure's:
primary use.
construction.
occupant limit.
fire protection systems.
18.
Why were occupancy loads established?
To determine the cost of new construction
To determine the amount of materials needed in construction
To provide an accurate limit to the number of people who can legally occupy a structure
To provide building officials with a reasonable expectation of the hazard level of a structure
19.
What is a typical Type V structure?
Schools
Churches
Single-family dwelling
Apai talent complexes
