My tips for this topic are on the way. Meanwhile, practice its questions: each answer cites the booklet page.
This topic is worth about 3 of the 120 questions of the Fire exam (estimated from the booklet's pages).

≈ 3 of 120 questions
Estimated from the FDNY booklet; the FDNY does not publish the exact distribution.
How it's estimated
This topic takes up 5 of the 206 pages of chapters 1-12 of the booklet (2.4%). 2.4% of the 120 questions of the Fire exam = 2.9 ≈ 3.
Official data (FDNY Notice of Exam F-89/T-89, p. 3): the General Topics and Fire course (Component 1: Part I, chapters 1-8, and Part II, chapters 9-12) lasts at least 20 hours; the Non-Fire course (Component 2: Part III, chapters 13-17; Part IV, chapters 18-19; Part V, chapters 20-22) at least 11 hours. Those are class hours, not exam questions, so they are not part of the estimate.
