When a fireguard on fire watch discovers an active fire, what is the FIRST action they must take?
Answer: Activate the nearest fire alarm pull station or verbally alert occupants
The first priority is to activate the building's fire alarm (or verbally alert occupants) to initiate evacuation immediately. Calling 911 follows immediately after.
During a fire watch, a fireguard discovers smoke coming from a utility closet. The fire is small and may be controllable. What should the fireguard do?
Answer: Immediately call 911, sound the alarm, and attempt to extinguish with a portable extinguisher only if trained and it is safe to do so
The fireguard must immediately call 911 and sound the alarm regardless of fire size. Use of a portable extinguisher is only appropriate if the fireguard is trained and it is safe, but notification always comes first.
A fireguard on fire watch receives word that trapped occupants are on the 5th floor. What is the appropriate action?
Answer: Immediately relay the information to arriving FDNY units and guide them to the location
The fireguard's role is to relay critical information to FDNY units, not to conduct solo rescues. Providing location information helps FDNY respond effectively.
During a fire watch, a fireguard notices a suspicious unattended bag in the lobby. There is no sign of fire. What should the fireguard do?
Answer: Do not touch the bag, evacuate the immediate area, and notify building security and FDNY
Suspicious unattended objects should not be touched. The immediate area should be cleared and FDNY and building security should be notified promptly.
After FDNY arrives at an emergency scene where a fire watch is in place, what should the fireguard do?
Answer: Report to the incident commander, provide building information, and follow their directions
Upon FDNY arrival, the fireguard should report to the incident commander, provide relevant building information (layout, hazards, impaired systems), and follow all FDNY directions.
What information should a fireguard log in the fire watch record after responding to an emergency during their watch?
Answer: The time the emergency was discovered, actions taken, who was notified, and when FDNY arrived
All emergency events must be fully documented in the fire watch log, including discovery time, actions taken, notifications made, and FDNY arrival time.
