  1. When a fireguard discovers smoke in a stairwell, what is the FIRST action to take?

    Answer: Activate the nearest fire alarm pull station

    Activating the fire alarm immediately alerts all occupants and summons the fire department without delay.

  2. A fireguard is conducting a fire watch during a sprinkler system shutdown. How often must rounds be conducted?

    Answer: Every 30 minutes

    Wet chemical extinguishers are specifically designed for Class K fires involving cooking oils and fats at high temperatures.

  5. A fireguard encounters a locked door in a corridor filled with light smoke. What should they do?

    Answer: Feel the door with the back of the hand before attempting to open it

    Feeling the door with the back of the hand detects heat behind it, preventing a backdraft or flashover when the door is opened.

    Answer: A written log noting each patrol round with time and date

    FDNY requires fire watch personnel to maintain a written log documenting each round, the time conducted, and any conditions observed.

  7. If a sprinkler head activates accidentally, a fireguard should FIRST:

    Answer: Notify the fire department and building management immediately

    Notifying the fire department and building management ensures a proper response and prevents unauthorized system shutdown that could compromise fire protection.
