What is the required frequency of fire watch patrols in a shelter?
Answer: At least every hour, or as specified in the facility's fire safety plan
FDNY regulations require the Fireguard to conduct patrols at least every hour, though the facility's specific fire safety plan may require more frequent patrols. During system impairments, continuous patrol of the affected areas may be required.
Where must the F-02 Certificate of Fitness be kept while the Fireguard is on duty?
Answer: On the premises and available for inspection by FDNY at all times
The F-02 COF must be kept on the premises where the Fireguard is working and must be readily available for inspection by FDNY personnel at any time. FDNY inspectors may visit unannounced and request to see the COF. Failure to produce it can result in a violation.
What are the Fireguard's responsibilities regarding smoking rules in a shelter?
Answer: Enforce no-smoking policies, ensure smoking is only in designated areas, and properly dispose of smoking materials
The Fireguard must enforce the shelter's no-smoking policies, ensure any designated smoking areas are safe (away from combustibles, with proper receptacles), and verify that smoking materials are properly extinguished and disposed of. Careless smoking is a leading cause of fire deaths.
Under FDNY regulations, what is the Fireguard's responsibility regarding fire safety education of shelter occupants?
Answer: Inform occupants about evacuation procedures, exit locations, and basic fire safety rules
The Fireguard should ensure shelter occupants are informed about evacuation procedures, the location of exits and assembly points, the sound of the fire alarm, and basic fire safety rules. In shelters with frequent population turnover, ongoing education of new occupants is especially important.
What must the Fireguard do at the beginning of each shift?
Answer: Receive a shift briefing, check fire protection systems status, review the log for outstanding issues, and begin patrol
At shift start, the Fireguard should receive a briefing from the outgoing Fireguard about any current conditions or issues, check the fire alarm panel for normal status, review the fire watch log for outstanding issues, verify fire protection systems are operational, and then begin patrol.
What FDNY regulation governs the conduct of fire drills in shelters?
Answer: NYC Fire Code Section 404 and the facility's approved fire safety and evacuation plan
NYC Fire Code Section 404 requires fire safety and evacuation plans for certain occupancies including shelters. These plans must include fire drill procedures and schedules. The FDNY reviews and approves these plans, and fire drills must be conducted at the required frequency.
