A fireguard is performing a fire watch on the 10th floor and discovers a fire. The corridor is clear. What is the correct sequence of actions?
Answer: Activate the nearest fire alarm pull station, call 911, and alert any occupants in the immediate area to evacuate
The correct sequence is: activate the fire alarm pull station (or alert occupants if alarm is impaired), call 911, and direct any nearby occupants to evacuate.
If a fire watch building undergoes partial evacuation during a fire alarm, what should the fireguard do to support the evacuation?
Answer: Direct evacuants to use stairwells, keep stairwell doors closed behind them, and do not attempt to use elevators
Fireguards should direct occupants to use stairs (not elevators) during fire evacuations and remind them to keep stairwell doors closed to protect the egress path from smoke.
A fireguard receives a report from a building occupant that they smell gas on the 3rd floor. No fire is visible. What should the fireguard do?
Answer: Immediately evacuate the 3rd floor area, call 911, do not operate any electrical switches or light switches, and notify building management
A gas smell is an immediate emergency requiring evacuation, 911 notification, and avoidance of anything that could create a spark. Gas leaks can cause explosions.
A fireguard discovers a fire in a building with an impaired fire alarm system that cannot be activated. How should occupants be alerted?
Answer: Use any available means — shout 'Fire! Evacuate!', knock on doors, and use a phone intercom if available — while simultaneously calling 911
When the fire alarm is impaired, the fireguard must use every available means to alert occupants while simultaneously calling 911. The alarm's impairment makes verbal and manual notification critical.
After responding to a fire emergency during their watch, the fireguard is interviewed by FDNY regarding their actions. What is the fireguard expected to provide?
Answer: An accurate, honest account of what they observed and all actions taken during the emergency
A fireguard must provide FDNY with an accurate and honest account of their observations and all actions taken during the emergency. This information is critical for FDNY's investigation and after-action review.
Why is it important for a fireguard to know the location of all exit stairwells and exit doors in their assigned building before beginning a fire watch?
Answer: Because in an emergency the fireguard must quickly direct occupants to exits and guide FDNY units to fire locations, requiring thorough building knowledge
Thorough knowledge of exit locations allows the fireguard to quickly direct evacuating occupants and provide FDNY with accurate building layout information during an emergency.
