Answer questions 460 462 on the basis of the following passage.
(1) If a building is to be left in a safe condition after a fire is extinguished, firefighters must
search for hidden fires that might re-ignite. (2) Typically this process known as overhaul, begins
in the area of actual fire involvement. (3) Before searching for hidden fires; however, firefighters
must first determine the condition of the building.
(4) The fire's intensity and the amount of water used to fight the fire are both factors that affect a
building. (5) Fire can burn away floor joists and weaken roof trusses. (6) Heat from the fire can
weaken concrete and the mortar in wall joints; heat can also elongate steel roof supports. (7)
Excess water can add dangerous weight to floors and walls.
(8) Once it has been determined that it is just fine to enter a building, the process of overhauling
begins. (9) Firefighters can often detect hidden fires by looking for discoloration, peeling paint,
cracked plaster, and smoke emissions; by feeling walls and floors with the back of the hand; by
listening for popping, cracking, and hissing sounds; and by using electronic sensors to detect heat
variance.

area. (2) A good site for a detector would be a hallway that runs between living spaces and
bedrooms.

above a fire, smoke detectors should be installed either at the ceiling at least four inches from the
nearest wall, or high on a wall at least four, but no further than twelve, inches from the ceiling.
(4) Detectors should not be mounted near windows, exterior doors, or other places where drafts
might direct the smoke away from the unit. (5) Also, it should not be placed in kitchens and

Answer questions 465 467 on the basis of the following passage.
(1) Heat exhaustion, generally characterized by clammy skin, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, profuse
perspiration, and sometimes fainting, resulting from an inadequate intake of water and the loss of
fluids. (2) First aid treatment for this condition includes having the victim lie down, raising the

(1 teaspoon per glass, half a glass every 15 minutes) over the period of an hour.
(3)__________________________________.
(4) Heat stroke is much more serious; it is an immediate life-threatening condition. (5) The
characteristics of heat stroke are a high body temperature (which may reach 106 degrees F or
more); a rapid pulse; hot, dry skin; and a blocked sweating mechanism. (6) Victims of this
condition may be unconscious, and first aid measures should be directed at cooling the body
quickly. (7) Heat stroke often occurs among poor people in urban areas. (8) The victim should be
placed in a tub of cold water or repeatedly sponged with cool water until his or her temperature is
lowered sufficiently. (9) Fans or air conditioners will also help with the cooling process. (10)
Care should be taken, however, not to chill the victim too much once his or her temperature is
