  1. Who is legally responsible for ensuring that a fire watch is established when a fire protection system is impaired?

    Answer: The building owner or their designated representative

    Under the NYC Fire Code, it is the building owner's legal responsibility to establish a fire watch when a fire protection system is impaired. The fireguard is employed to carry out the watch.

  2. During fire watch, a fireguard discovers that a fire sprinkler valve has been accidentally opened, releasing water. What should the fireguard do?

    Answer: Immediately notify building management and call for qualified personnel to address the valve; do not attempt repairs

    Fireguards are not authorized to perform system repairs. They must immediately notify building management and appropriate maintenance personnel and document the situation.

  3. A fireguard's primary responsibility during a fire watch is to:

    Answer: Continuously monitor assigned areas, identify hazards or fires early, and notify FDNY and occupants immediately

    The core role of a fireguard is early detection through patrol, prompt notification of any fire or hazard, and communication with FDNY and occupants — not suppression, evacuation management, or repairs.

  4. How often should a fireguard conduct patrols of the fire watch area?

    Answer: At intervals not exceeding 30 minutes (or as required by the FDNY or building fire safety plan)

    Fire watch patrols must be conducted at intervals not exceeding 30 minutes, or more frequently if required by FDNY or the building's fire safety plan.

  5. A fireguard arrives for their shift and discovers the fire watch logbook from the previous shift is missing. What should they do?

    Answer: Report the missing logbook immediately to building management, notify FDNY if required, and start a new logbook documenting the circumstances

    The missing logbook must be reported to building management, and if required, to FDNY. A new log must be started immediately so fire watch documentation is not interrupted.

  6. What must a fireguard do at the START of each fire watch patrol?

    Answer: Sign in to the fire watch log, noting the time the patrol is beginning

    At the start of each patrol, the fireguard must record their name, date, time, and the areas to be patrolled in the fire watch log.
