  1. A fireguard observes that a storeroom adjacent to the main exit is being used to store large quantities of cardboard boxes. What should they do?

    Answer: Direct that the combustibles be removed or reduced to comply with storage limits and document the action

    Excessive combustible storage near exits is a fire hazard and code violation; the fireguard must take corrective action and document it in the log.

  2. What is the correct procedure when discovering a fire that is small and contained, and a portable extinguisher is immediately available?

    Answer: Activate the alarm and call 911 first; then use the extinguisher only if trained and it is safe to do so

    Notification must always come first so the fire department is en route; suppression with an extinguisher is only appropriate when trained and when conditions allow safe use.

  3. Under FDNY rules, what is a fireguard required to do if a fire hazard cannot be immediately corrected?

    Answer: Document it and immediately report it to their supervisor and the appropriate authority

    Uncorrectable hazards must be documented and escalated immediately to supervisory staff and relevant authorities to ensure proper follow-up.

  4. Which type of occupancy is most commonly required to maintain a continuous fireguard on duty?

    Answer: Places of assembly, such as theaters and nightclubs, when a fire alarm system is impaired

    High-occupancy assembly venues are among those most frequently required to have a fireguard on continuous duty, especially when life-safety systems are impaired.

  5. What does PASS stand for in the context of operating a portable fire extinguisher?

    Answer: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep

    PASS is the standard acronym for the four steps of extinguisher use: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep side to side.

  6. A fireguard is asked by an employee to prop open a stairwell fire door because the hallway is warm. The fireguard should:

    Answer: Refuse, explain that fire doors must remain closed, and report the request to a supervisor

    Stairwell fire doors must remain closed at all times to prevent fire and smoke from spreading; no comfort or convenience justification overrides this requirement.

  7. Which of the following best describes the FDNY F-02 Certificate of Fitness?

    Answer: A personal certification authorizing the holder to act as a fireguard for indoor places of assembly

    The F-02 Certificate of Fitness specifically authorizes the individual holder to serve as a fireguard for indoor places of assembly in New York City.
