When a fire alarm activates, patrol wardens must immediately respond to the alarm area to investigate and assist occupants with evacuation.
During a patrol, a warden encounters a tenant who has disabled a smoke detector in their office by removing the battery. The warden should:

Improperly stored fire hoses must be restored and inspected by qualified personnel to ensure the equipment is ready for emergency use.
A warden conducting a patrol in a high-rise discovers that occupants on one floor have blocked a corridor with furniture for a temporary event. The warden should:
Answer: Immediately require the corridor to be cleared as exit paths must remain unobstructed at all times
Exit corridors must remain unobstructed at all times — no event or duration justifies blocking a required means of egress.
