What is the Fireguard's obligation when an FDNY inspector arrives for an inspection?
Answer: Cooperate fully, provide access to all areas, present the COF and fire watch log, and answer questions honestly
The Fireguard must cooperate fully with FDNY inspectors, providing immediate access to all areas of the building, presenting their Certificate of Fitness and fire watch log, demonstrating knowledge of emergency procedures, and answering questions truthfully. Obstruction can result in additional violations.
What penalties can result from FDNY violations related to fire guard duties?
Answer: Fines, revocation of Certificate of Fitness, criminal charges, and building vacate orders
FDNY violations can result in monetary fines (potentially thousands of dollars per violation), revocation or suspension of the Certificate of Fitness, criminal charges for serious violations, and in extreme cases, orders to vacate the building until violations are corrected.
What is the Fireguard's authority to correct fire hazards during patrol?
Answer: The Fireguard can correct minor hazards immediately (remove combustibles from exits, close fire doors) and must report larger issues
The Fireguard has the authority and duty to correct minor fire hazards immediately during patrol, such as removing objects from exit paths, closing propped-open fire doors, and repositioning items away from heat sources. Hazards requiring professional correction must be reported to building management.
What does FDNY require regarding the Fireguard's physical presence during their assigned shift?
Answer: The Fireguard must be physically present on the premises for the entire duration of their assigned shift
The F-02 Fireguard must be physically present on the premises for their entire assigned shift. They cannot leave the building, be absent from duty, or be assigned other tasks that prevent them from performing fire watch duties. Absence is a serious violation of FDNY regulations.
What is required if the Fireguard discovers a condition that requires the building to be evacuated?
Answer: Activate the fire alarm, call 911, and begin assisting with evacuation immediately
If the Fireguard discovers a condition requiring evacuation (fire, gas leak, structural hazard), they must immediately activate the fire alarm to notify all occupants, call 911 to request emergency services, and begin assisting occupants with evacuation. Waiting for permission or the fire department wastes critical time.
What is the FDNY requirement for maintaining fire watch logs?
Answer: Logs must be maintained on the premises and kept available for FDNY inspection for a specified retention period
Fire watch logs must be maintained on the premises and kept available for FDNY inspection. The retention period is specified in the fire safety plan, typically at least one year. Logs should be completed in ink, not pencil, and entries should not be altered or erased.
