10/20 Flashcards unlocked
10 genuine preview cards are open below; purchase unlocks all 20.
1. Before you invest time in physical training for Fireman/Firewoman, which document should you check first?
The latest official vacancy notice on the CSB or FSD website. It is the controlling document for entry requirements, including physical fitness tests and any changes to the selection process.
2. Is the Basic Law and National Security Law Test (BLNST) required for Fireman/Firewoman appointment?
Yes. A valid BLNST pass result is an entry requirement for all civil service jobs, including Fireman/Firewoman. Check the vacancy notice for the required BLNST grade (degree/professional or non-degree).
3. What are the core operational duties of a Fireman/Firewoman?
Firefighting, rescue, emergency response, equipment operation, and shift-based operational duties. Marine stream additionally involves vessel-based fire and rescue operations.
4. What physical assessments are typically part of Fireman/Firewoman selection?
A physical fitness test and a job-related performance test. Exact items (e.g., running, ladder climb, dummy drag) must be confirmed against the current vacancy notice.
5. During a fireground operation, your team leader gives an order that you do not fully understand. What should you do?
Seek immediate clarification while maintaining operational safety. In emergency services, following a clear chain of command is critical, but acting on a misunderstood order can endanger lives. Acknowledge, clarify, then execute.
6. What is the passing score for the degree/professional BLNST?
10 out of 20 multiple-choice questions. The test is bilingual and lasts 30 minutes.
7. What laws are covered in the BLNST?
The Basic Law (including all annexes, instruments, attachments and appendices) and the National Security Law.
8. You are off-duty and witness a traffic accident with injuries. What is your responsibility?
As a Fireman/Firewoman, you have a duty to render assistance within your competence. Ensure scene safety, call emergency services, provide first aid if trained, and stay until relieved by on-duty personnel. Your actions must reflect public service values even when off-duty.
9. Why is team spirit critical for a Fireman/Firewoman?
Fire and rescue operations depend on coordinated teamwork under extreme pressure. A single error can jeopardise the safety of the whole team and the public. Team spirit ensures mutual support, clear communication and disciplined execution.
10. What should you do if you discover a colleague has not properly maintained a piece of rescue equipment?
Report the deficiency immediately to a supervisor. Do not use the equipment until it is inspected and cleared. In emergency services, equipment reliability is a matter of life and death. Covering up a lapse compromises public safety and breaches the Code of Conduct.
