For Qs 16 and 17, most of you picked the park as the staging area and you are WRONG. It was the stadium parking lot even though the concert was sold out and and here is why:
The introduction stated southerly winds at 35 knots (which means winds are blowing from the south at 35 MPH). Also it stated that the distance between any 2 blocks is 500 feet.
Orange smoke from the clinic indicates HazMat and according to the HazMat procedure you will set up upwind, if possible.
For those who say it's not possible to set up at the stadium, remember the stadium may be sold out, but the test did not specifically state or indicate that there was not enough room to expand to a Level 3 or 4 mobilization IN THE PARKING LOT. It must be very specific that the PARKING LOT is full. You cannot assume that because the stadium is sold out that the lot also is full. For all we know the lot may have extra spaces or a separate section for special events. We don't know because it doesn't say. Therefore we cannot exclude it.
Also, there was a whole block between the stadium and the clinic. So since the distance between any 2 blocks is 500 feet, then the stadium would still meet the minimum of 1000 feet for the explosion.
The park is downwind so it cannot be the correct answer.
Queens marine you failed brother go chAt with jimbo...the wind was blowin south so u need to go upwind which is north the park..i think you had your booklet upside down moron..
You know what, not for noting, but our buddy Queens Marine is right about that "SOUTHERLY" aspect. It indeed means the wind ORIGINATES from the SOUTH and blowing NORTH. I bet the people that wrote the test meant to say the wind was blowing south, hence the follow-up question re:direction. There was no correct choice BUT the route to the park, unless we'd go light and siren against traffics. Here we go again, another question where they're trying to be cute and smart, using BIG word...
I'm not going to argue about which direction a southerly wind blows. let the chips fall where they may. At least our test was mostly based on what we studied. That's more than can be said for yesterday's Lieutenant exam. People are saying they wasted 6 months studying and only around 20 P.G. questions were on it, and that people that did no studying had as good of a chance of passing as people that busted their asses.
