Read the first 7 F-01 Fireguard Fire Watch Patrols flashcards as text

  1. During a fire watch patrol in a building under construction, you smell smoke but cannot see flames. What is your FIRST action?

    Answer: Immediately evacuate all occupants and call 911

    If smoke is detected, immediately initiate evacuation and call 911 — never delay to investigate before alerting emergency services.

  2. How often must a Certificate of Fitness holder conducting a fire watch log their patrol rounds?

    Answer: Each time a patrol is completed

    The fireguard must record each completed patrol round in the fire watch log, including the time and any observations.

  3. A contractor leaves oily rags in a pile near a heat source during a hot work operation. As the fireguard, you should:

    Answer: Immediately stop work and require proper disposal of the rags

    Oily rags near heat sources are a serious spontaneous combustion hazard; the fireguard has authority to stop work until the hazard is corrected.

  4. Which area is the highest priority to check during a post-hot-work fire watch?

    Answer: The area within 35 feet of where hot work was performed

    FDNY regulations require the fireguard to monitor the area within 35 feet of hot work operations for the required watch period after work stops.

  5. A fire watch is required after welding operations have ended. For how long must the watch continue per FDNY requirements?

    Answer: 1 hour

    FDNY requires a minimum 1-hour fire watch after hot work operations cease to detect any smoldering fires that may develop.

  6. When is it acceptable to use a standpipe or sprinkler riser as a means of egress during a fire?

    Answer: Never — risers are not egress routes

    Standpipe and sprinkler risers are water supply systems, never egress routes; occupants must use designated stairwells.

  7. During a patrol you find a self-closing fire door propped open with a doorstop. You should:

    Answer: Remove the doorstop immediately and allow the door to close

    Fire doors must never be propped open because they are designed to slow fire and smoke spread; the fireguard must remove any obstruction immediately.
