Read the first 7 F-01 Fireguard Sprinkler and Suppression Systems flashcards as text

  1. A pre-action sprinkler system requires which condition before water is released?

    Answer: Both a fire detection signal AND a sprinkler head activating

    Pre-action systems require two independent events — a fire detector triggering AND a sprinkler head activating — before water is discharged, preventing accidental water damage.

  2. What information should a Fireguard include in the log when a sprinkler system impairment begins?

    Answer: Date, time, location, reason for impairment, and notifications made

    The impairment log entry must include the date, time, specific location, the reason for the impairment, and a record of all notifications made to FDNY and building management.

  3. What is the minimum water supply duration that a standard sprinkler system must provide?

    Answer: 30 minutes

    NFPA 13 standards require that sprinkler systems have a water supply capable of sustaining the system for a minimum of 30 minutes during a fire event.

  4. A Fireguard performing a fire watch during a sprinkler system impairment should conduct patrols at what minimum frequency?

    Answer: Continuously or at intervals not exceeding 15 to 30 minutes

    During a fire watch for a system impairment, patrols must be conducted continuously or at frequent intervals (typically every 15 to 30 minutes) to ensure early fire detection.

  5. Which type of suppression system discharges agent simultaneously through ALL nozzles when activated?

    Answer: Deluge system

    A deluge system has open nozzles and floods the entire protected area simultaneously when activated, making it suitable for high-hazard areas with rapidly spreading fires.

  6. What should a Fireguard do if they discover a sprinkler pipe is leaking?

    Answer: Immediately notify building management and document the finding

    A leaking sprinkler pipe is a deficiency that must be immediately reported to building management and documented in the log so a licensed contractor can make repairs.

  7. When the FDNY arrives at a building where the sprinkler system has been activated, what should the Fireguard do?

    Answer: Meet the FDNY at the entrance and provide information about the system and affected area

    The Fireguard should meet arriving FDNY units, provide the location of the fire and activated sprinkler heads, and share knowledge of the building's fire protection systems.
