Sample firefighter examination spatial orientation question

The purpose of spatial orientation questions is to measure your ability to keep a clear idea of where you are in relation to whatever space you are in.  Questions in this part of the examination poften emphasize either where you are in a diagram or how to go from one place to another on the diagram or a map.  These are usually not memorization questions, so you'll probably be allowed to use your pencil to ride on the diagrams or maps as a way of testing your answer choices.

This question is based on the following diagram and passage
