F-01 F-01 Fireguard Emergency Response and Evacuation 2

Question 1

During a building evacuation, which floor should be evacuated FIRST?

Accepted Answer

The fire floor and the floor immediately above it

Answer

The fire floor and the floor directly above are at greatest immediate risk and must be evacuated first.

Question 2

What is the primary function of a stairwell pressurization system during a fire?

Accepted Answer

To prevent smoke from entering the stairwell

Answer

Stairwell pressurization keeps smoke out by maintaining higher air pressure inside the stairwell than in surrounding areas.

Question 3

When a fire alarm sounds and elevators are present, what should a Fireguard instruct occupants to do?

Accepted Answer

Avoid elevators entirely and use stairwells

Answer

During a fire, occupants must never use elevators because they can malfunction, open on the fire floor, or lose power.

Question 4

What does a Fireguard do if a stairwell door is found to be locked during an evacuation?

Accepted Answer

Immediately report it to the warden and seek an alternate route

Answer

A locked stairwell door must be reported immediately so occupants can be redirected to an alternate safe egress route.

Question 5

What is the correct action if you discover heavy smoke filling a stairwell during evacuation?

Accepted Answer

Return to the floor and seek shelter in place

Answer

A smoke-filled stairwell is impassable; occupants should return to the floor, close doors, and shelter in place until help arrives.
