Read the first 7 F-01 Fireguard System Impairment Procedures flashcards as text

  1. When a fire alarm system is temporarily disabled for testing, the fireguard must ensure that:

    Answer: A fire watch is established and the FDNY is notified

    Disabling a fire alarm system requires both FDNY notification and an active fire watch for the duration of the impairment.

  2. A partial impairment affects only one sprinkler zone in a multi-story building. The fire watch patrol route should cover:

    Answer: The entire building, with extra attention to the impaired zone

    The patrol covers the entire building, but particular attention should be given to the impaired zone as it has no suppression coverage.

  3. In the context of fire protection impairments, what is an 'emergency impairment'?

    Answer: An unplanned shutdown due to a system malfunction, break, or emergency repair

    An emergency impairment is an unplanned, unscheduled shutdown caused by system failure, pipe break, or emergency condition.

  4. After the impaired fire protection system is fully restored, the fireguard should:

    Answer: Confirm restoration, document it, notify required parties, and terminate the fire watch formally

    Proper closeout includes confirming restoration, documenting it in the log, notifying FDNY and the building owner, and formally ending the watch.

  5. If combustible materials are found stored in a stairwell during a fire watch patrol, the fireguard should:

    Answer: Require immediate removal and document the finding in the log

    Combustible materials in egress paths are a serious hazard requiring immediate removal and must be documented in the patrol log.

  6. A fireguard performing a fire watch is also responsible for verifying that:

    Answer: Exit doors, exit signs, and emergency lighting are functional

    During a fire watch, the fireguard checks that exits, exit signs, and emergency lighting are operational to ensure safe egress.

  7. Which of the following best describes the role of an 'impairment coordinator'?

    Answer: The designated person responsible for managing and tracking the impairment from start to finish

    The impairment coordinator oversees all aspects of the impairment including notifications, fire watch, documentation, and restoration.
