Under FDNY regulations, a fire watch is required when a sprinkler or standpipe system is out of service for more than how long in a 24-hour period?
Answer: 4 hours
FDNY rules require that a fire watch be established whenever a fire protection system is impaired for more than 4 hours within any 24-hour period, ensuring continuous coverage until the system is restored.
How often must a fire guard complete a patrol of all areas covered by the impaired fire protection system?
Answer: At least once per hour
FDNY regulations require the fire guard to patrol all affected areas at least once per hour, ensuring that any fire condition is detected promptly in the absence of automatic suppression.
Where must the fire watch log book be physically located during an active impairment?
Answer: On the premises where the impairment exists
The log book must remain on the premises so that FDNY inspectors can review entries on-site at any time during the impairment and verify that fire watch duties are being performed.
What is the fire guard's FIRST required action upon discovering a fire during fire watch duty?
Answer: Call 911 and activate the building fire alarm system
Life safety takes priority. The fire guard must immediately call 911 and activate the building alarm so occupants can evacuate and the fire department can respond — documentation and notification of management come afterward.
Which piece of information must appear on the fire watch log to identify the person responsible for conducting the watch?
Answer: The fire guard's Certificate of Fitness number
The Certificate of Fitness number uniquely identifies the licensed fire guard and verifies that a properly certified individual, as required by the FDNY, is performing the fire watch.
Who is responsible for notifying the FDNY when a fire protection system impairment requires a fire watch to be established?
Answer: The building owner or their authorized representative
Under FDNY regulations, the building owner or their authorized representative bears the legal obligation to notify the fire department of any system impairment and to arrange for a certificated fire guard to conduct the required fire watch.
