  1. Under what circumstance may a fireguard silence a sounding fire alarm at the panel?

    Answer: Only after FDNY has arrived, investigated, and authorized a reset or silence

    A fire alarm should only be silenced or reset at the direction of FDNY after they have investigated and determined the cause of the alarm.

  2. A fire alarm panel requires regular testing. Who is responsible for ensuring these tests are completed and documented?

    Answer: A licensed fire alarm contractor in coordination with building management

    NYC Fire Code requires that fire alarm systems be tested and maintained by licensed contractors, with results documented and available for FDNY inspection.

  3. What does a 'two-stage' fire alarm system mean in the context of NYC high-rise buildings?

    Answer: An alert (first stage) is sent to building staff before a full building evacuation alarm (second stage) sounds

    A two-stage system first alerts building staff with a localized signal, giving them time to investigate before triggering a full building evacuation alarm if a real emergency is confirmed.

  4. If a fire alarm is activated due to cooking smoke in a kitchen, what must the fireguard document after FDNY clears the scene?

    Answer: The cause of the alarm, time of activation, FDNY response, and any corrective actions taken

    All alarm activations — including accidental ones — must be fully documented in the fire watch log, including cause, timeline, FDNY actions, and any steps taken to prevent recurrence.

  5. What is the role of a fire alarm annunciator panel in a building?

    Answer: It displays the location (zone or floor) of an alarm or trouble condition to help responders locate the problem quickly

    Annunciator panels provide a visual display of which zone or floor is in alarm or trouble, enabling fireguards and FDNY to quickly identify the affected area.

  6. Under NYC Fire Code, how frequently must a fireguard conduct and log a check of fire alarm pull stations and exit signs in an occupied assembly occupancy?

    Answer: Once per shift (at each tour of duty)

    Fireguards are required to check and log the condition of fire safety equipment, including pull stations and exit signs, during each patrol of their shift.
