In illustration D039SA below, which Fire Control Plan symbol does NOT contain personal protective equipment?
• Fire control plan symbols for personal protective equipment (PPE) such as breathing apparatus and protective clothing • Difference between firefighting equipment lockers/stations (which often store PPE) and portable extinguishing appliances • How combined symbols (letters on a square) indicate what is stored in that space
• Look at what each numbered symbol actually represents on the plan: which pictures clearly show something worn by a person, and which show equipment that is operated but not worn? • For the symbols with just letters in a box, ask yourself: does that space normally include items like suits, boots, helmets, or breathing gear, or is it mainly for extinguishing agents like foam or dry chemical? • Compare symbols 30 and 58: which one represents a locker/station that would logically contain a full fireman’s outfit, and which one represents only the location of extinguishers?
• Identify which of 59 and 60 show items worn on the body (mask/BA set, suit, etc.). • Decide whether symbol 30 (red F in a square) refers to a firefighting equipment locker, which typically includes PPE, or just to an agent. • Confirm whether symbol 58 (red FE) stands for fire extinguishers only, which are firefighting tools but not personal protective equipment.
