Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Firefighters should avoid non - fire - resistant synthetic materials as they can melt and cause severe burns.
  2. A lower heat transfer rate means the protective clothing can protect for a longer time as heat takes longer to penetrate.
  3. NFPA 1550 mandates faceshields or goggles for structural fire fighting helmets for eye protection.
  4. The Personal Alert Safety System (PASS) emits an alarm when a firefighter is motionless (in danger).
  5. Wildland fires require PPE designed specifically for that environment (lighter, more breathable for the terrain).
  6. High - visibility vests are worn when not in fire - fighting/hazardous materials activities for visibility.
  7. Informal PPE cleaning involves simple removal of loose debris like brushing.
  8. The atmosphere - supplying respirator (ASR), especially the SCBA (a type of ASR), is primary as it supplies clean air from a tank.

Answer:

  1. d. non - fire - resistant synthetic materials
  2. b. longer protective clothing will protect you.
  3. c. faceshields or goggles.
  4. c. Personal alert safety system (PASS)
  5. b. PPE designed for wildland fire fighting.
  6. d. if they are not involved in fire fighting or hazardous materials activities.
  7. c. Informal PPE cleaning
  8. b. atmosphere - supplying respirator (ASR)
