Fire-Inspector-II Dumps With Exact Questions and Answers

For open burning, fire codes typically require a minimum clearance from structures to prevent fire spread. However, when burning is conducted in an approved container, the required clearance distance may be reduced to 15 feet.

Reference to Fire Inspector Documentation:

1. 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) – Section 307.4 (Open Burning, Recreational Fires, and Portable Outdoor Fireplaces)

IFC 307.4 states that the minimum clearance for open burning is 50 feet but may be reduced to 15 feet when conducted in an approved container that prevents fire spread.

2. NFPA 1 – Fire Code (2021 Edition) – Section 10.11 (Open Burning and Recreational Fires)

NFPA 1, Section 10.11.5 aligns with the IFC and allows a minimum of 15 feet clearance for contained burning in approved receptacles.

Detailed Explanation of Answer Choices:

Option A (Incorrect): 10 ft. is too close and does not meet the IFC minimum requirement.

Option B (Correct): 15 ft. is the minimum required distance for burning in an approved container according to IFC 307.4.

Option C (Incorrect): 25 ft. is the standard for recreational fires but not for approved containers.

Option D (Incorrect): 50 ft. applies to open burning without a container, not when using an approved container.

Thus, the correct and verified answer is: B. 15 ft.

The occupant load of a space is determined using the 2021 International Building Code (IBC), Table 1004.5 – Maximum Floor Area Per Occupant.

IBC Table 1004.5 – Occupant Load Factor for Exercise Rooms:

The occupant load factor for an exercise room is 1 person per 20 square feet.

Given that the exercise room is 1,000 sq. ft.:

1,000 sq. ft. ÷ 20 sq. ft. per person = 50 occupants

Why Other Options Are Incorrect?

A. 10 – Would require a 100 sq. ft. per person load factor, which is not applicable for exercise rooms.

B. 20 – Incorrect calculation; using the correct load factor, the actual number is 50.

C. 30 – Also incorrect based on the proper load factor.

✅ Correct Answer: D. 50

When fire inspectors identify code violations, the inspection report must include a description of the violation along with a recommended corrective action. This ensures that the responsible party understands what steps need to be taken to bring the property into compliance.

Reference to Fire Inspector Documentation:

1. 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) – Section 109.3 (Notice of Violation)

IFC 109.3 requires that any notice of violation must include a description of the violation and the necessary corrective action.

The intent is to provide clear guidance on how to remedy the issue to meet fire safety standards.

2. NFPA 1 – Fire Code (2021 Edition) – Section 1.7.6 (Enforcement and Documentation of Violations)

NFPA 1, Section 1.7.6.1 states that violation reports must specify the corrective action required to comply with the fire code.

Detailed Explanation of Answer Choices:

Option A (Incorrect): While a reinspection date may be provided, it is not a mandatory component of an inspection report for code violations.

Option B (Incorrect): A mandatory court date is not always required; enforcement varies depending on jurisdiction and severity of the violation.

Option C (Correct): Recommended corrective action is required in all violation reports as per IFC 109.3 and NFPA 1.7.6.1.

Option D (Incorrect): Potential fines for noncompliance are determined separately and are not necessarily included in the initial violation report.

Thus, the correct and verified answer is: C. Recommended corrective action.
