400 3 Construction  features assessed in building size-up Jeff Prokop Built-in fire protection equipment, type of roof covering, types of doors and windows, roof design, age of building, building height, ventilation characteristics, egress path, security measures, type of construction, construction materials, modifications
600 Name 4 signs of  a building collapse Jeff Prokop Cracks or separation in walls, floors, ceilings, and roof structures; evidence of existing instability; loose bricks, blocks or stones; deteriorated mortar  between masonry; walls that appear to be leaning;  structural members that appear to be distorted;  fires beneath floors or in walls; unusual creaks or cracking noises; prolonged fire exposure
800 Damaged wall that would  most concern firefighters: non-load bearing, veneer or Load-bearing, Fire Jeff Prokop Load-Bearing Fire
1000 Collapse zone for Building that is 240 feet tall. Jeff Prokop 360 feet
1200 2 fire risks for buildings under construction Jeff Prokop Additional fire load, and ignition sources; no fire protective features; disable fire protection systems; easy access to building; use of construction machinery
200 Difference between Older vs. Newer Construction Jeff Prokop Older: exposed to weather; Not maintained; less fire  codes
400 Difference between Load vs. non-load Bearing wall Jeff Prokop Load bearing wall Carries weight of wall, non-load bearing does not
600 Difference between Fire resistive vs. Non-combustible construction Jeff Prokop All materials in fire resistive construction are fire resistive; in non-combustible,  flat roof is made of limited combustible  materials
