  1. When a fire guard discovers a fire in an assembly occupancy, what is the FIRST action they should take?

    Answer: Activate the nearest fire alarm pull station

    Activating the fire alarm is the first priority so all occupants are alerted simultaneously.

  2. How often must a fire guard conduct tours of the premises during their shift?

    NYC Fire Code requires fire guards to tour the premises at intervals not exceeding one hour.

  3. Which document must a fire guard maintain to record each tour of inspection?

  4. A fire guard notices that a required exit sign is not illuminated. What should they do?

    The deficiency must be logged and reported to management or maintenance so it is corrected promptly.

  5. What is the maximum number of persons allowed to be in an assembly area before a fire guard is required under FDNY rules?

    An F-01 fire guard is required when an assembly occupancy has more than 75 persons (some sources specify the permit threshold), but the common FDNY standard for requiring a fire guard is 75 persons—however the specific threshold listed in F-01 materials is 75 or more.

  6. During a fire emergency, a fire guard should direct occupants to use which means of egress?
