F-01 - F-01 Fireguard Test F-01 Fireguard Fire Watch Patrols 1

Question 1

What must a fire guard do immediately upon discovering a fire during a patrol?

Accepted Answer

Activate the nearest fire alarm, call 911, and begin evacuation procedures

Answer

Upon discovering a fire, the fire guard's first priorities are to activate the alarm, call 911, and initiate evacuation — in that order. Attempting to fight the fire before alerting others or delaying the alarm can cost lives.

Question 2

Which document must a fire guard maintain throughout each shift to record patrol activity?

Accepted Answer

A fire guard logbook

Answer

Fire guards are required by law to maintain a logbook documenting each patrol round, including the time completed and any conditions observed. This record provides accountability and is subject to FDNY inspection.

Question 3

What should a fire guard do if a fire extinguisher along the patrol route is found missing or damaged?

Accepted Answer

Record the deficiency and immediately report it to the building manager or supervisor

Answer

A missing or damaged extinguisher is a reportable deficiency. The fire guard must note it in the logbook and notify the responsible party so it can be replaced or repaired promptly — unauthorized repositioning of equipment is not the fire guard's role.

Question 4

Which of the following conditions should a fire guard flag as a hazard during a patrol?

Accepted Answer

A fire exit door that is propped open and blocked by a delivery cart

Answer

Propped-open or blocked exit doors compromise compartmentalization and egress — both critical to fire safety. The fire guard must report and, if safe, correct this immediately.

Question 5

When handing off to a relief fire guard at the end of a shift, what information must be communicated?

Accepted Answer

Any hazards found, areas of concern, and the current status of the building

Answer

A proper handoff ensures continuity of protection. The outgoing fire guard must brief the incoming guard on any hazards discovered, outstanding issues, and overall building status so no critical information is lost between shifts.
