21. A fracture is a broken bone. In a simple fracture, the skin is not broken. In a compound fracture, a broken end of the bone pierces the skin. Whenever a fracture is feared, the first thing to do is to prevent motion of the broken part. Suppose that a firefighter has just tripped on a stairway in the firehouse and twisted his ankle. He says it hurts badly, but you cannot tell what is wrong merely by looking at it. Of the following, the best action to take is to A) tell the firefighter to stand up and see whether he can walk B) move the ankle gently to see whether you can feel any broken ends of the bone C) tell the firefighter to rest a few minutes and promise to return later to see whether his condition has improved D) tell the firefighter not to move his foot, and put in a call for medical assistance
22. Firefighters from Engine 24 and Ladder 20 have arrived on the scene of a multiple suite dwelling. Firefighters have been instructed by the battalion chief to initiate procedures for delaying spread of fire from one occupancy to the next. Which of the following is the best procedure to accomplish this task?
A) the doors between rooms should be closed as soon as possible to decrease the spread of fire B) order hoselines into the occupancies on either side of the fire to limit the spread of fire C) immediately open all windows within the occupancy to limit the spread of fire D) stand by in a ready position, inasmuch as most occupancies have fire spread limitation controls to decrease the chance of ignition
23. Firefighters have just arrived on the scene of a three-car accident on Highway I-90. Which of the following would be the first action taken by firefighters?
A) check for any injuries to the occupants of cars involved in the accident B) immediately call for three or more apparatus to block the flow of traffic so firefighters will not be endangered C) stand by and direct traffic at the scene of the accident until police and ambulances arrive to treat the injured occupants D) immediately contact the alarm office to inform the police department of the accident and ask for their immediate response to the scene
24. During overhaul procedures, firefighters often come across valuable items (including money and jewelry). You are overhauling a bedroom and notice one of your fellow firefighters taking what appears to be an expensive piece of jewelry and putting it in his pocket. Which of the following would be the most correct action to take?
A) immediately go to your supervisor and inform him of what your coworker has done, without first asking for an explanation by the coworker B) ask your fellow firefighter to explain his actions C) immediately tell the firefighter that what he has done is dishonest and goes against all professional and ethical firefighter standards D) don't say anything to the firefighter unless you are approached by the firefighter concerning the incident
Inductive Reasoning
The data in this table relate to the inspection of a twelve-story office building. On certain floors the landlord (L) is responsible for fire safety; on other floors the Tenants (T) have assumed responsibility for fire safety in their rented areas. The table gives the number of violations found on the first inspection visit, the total number of safety requirements on each floor, and the number of violations still found on a follow-up inspection visit three days later.
25. Based on the data in the above table, it would be most correct to conclude that in this building: A) tenants have more violations than the landlord B) part from the basement, tenants have more violations than the landlord C) the landlord has more violations than the tenants if one considers only the floors above the first floor D) the landlord has more violations than the tenants
26. Based on the data in the above table, it would be most correct to conclude that, taking into account the number of safety requirements on each floor, in this building:
A) the landlord is more effective than the tenants in meeting the safety requirements B) the tenants are more effective than the landlord in meeting the safety requirements C) the landlord is more effective on the first six floors, and the tenants are more effective on the top six floors in meeting the safety requirements D) the landlord is more effective in meeting the safety requirements on the top six floors

Report No. 4 (November 23)
: Male, white, 25-30, 5'6", 175 pounds, dark hair, moustache, blue jeans, black jacket, green ski cap, boots.
27. Based on the description of the suspects in the first three fire reports, the suspect in Report No. 4 should also be considered a suspect in:
A) Report No. 1, but not in Report Nos. 2 or 3 B) Report Nos. 1 and 2, but not in Report No. 3 C) Report Nos. 2 and 3, but not in Report No. 1 D) Report Nos. 1, 2 and 3
