  1. Which NYC Fire Code section governs the responsibilities of a Fireguard (F-02 Certificate of Fitness holder)?

    Answer: FC Chapter 14 — Fire Watch

    NYC Fire Code Chapter 14 specifically addresses fire watch requirements, including the duties, posting, and qualifications of Fireguards during fire watch assignments.

  2. A Fireguard is stationed at a building where a sprinkler system is out of service for repairs. What is the minimum patrol frequency required?

    Answer: Every hour

    When a sprinkler system is out of service, NYC Fire Code requires fire watch patrols at intervals not exceeding one hour to compensate for the loss of automatic fire suppression.

  3. What type of fire would be most dangerous to attempt to extinguish with water?

    Answer: A fire involving energized electrical equipment

    Water conducts electricity and using it on energized electrical fires creates a severe electrocution risk for the person operating the extinguisher.

  4. During a fire prevention inspection, a Fireguard finds a stairwell door that does not fully latch when closed. What is the fire safety concern?

    Answer: Smoke and fire can migrate from one floor to another through the unlatched gap

    Stairwell doors that fail to latch allow smoke and fire gases to enter the protected egress path, endangering evacuating occupants and firefighters.

  5. Which of the following is a primary responsibility of a Fireguard assigned to a hot work operation?

    Answer: Monitor for fire during and for at least one hour after hot work operations cease

    A Fireguard must remain on duty monitoring for fire during hot work and for a minimum of one hour after work stops, as smoldering fires can develop unseen.

  6. What is the correct action if a Fireguard discovers that the building's fire alarm system is completely non-operational during an occupied shift?

    Answer: Immediately notify FDNY and implement a fire watch with continuous manual notification capability

    When a fire alarm system is non-operational in an occupied building, FDNY must be notified immediately and a fire watch with manual notification capability (air horns, etc.) must be implemented.

  7. Under NYC Fire Code, what is the required minimum width of a clear aisle leading to a fire exit in a storage occupancy?

    Answer: 36 inches

    Storage occupancies must maintain a minimum 36-inch clear aisle width leading to fire exits to ensure safe and rapid egress for occupants.
