  1. What is the purpose of an Area of Rescue Assistance (ARA) in a building?

    Answer: A protected location where mobility-impaired occupants wait for evacuation assistance

    An ARA is a fire-rated safe zone, typically within a stairwell enclosure, where persons who cannot use stairs independently wait for firefighter-assisted evacuation.

  2. Which condition should a fireguard record when making fire watch log entries?

    Answer: Time of patrol, areas checked, and any hazardous conditions observed

    A thorough fire watch log must document patrol times, areas inspected, and any observed hazards to demonstrate due diligence and compliance.

  3. A fireguard observes a propped-open fire door in a corridor. What should be done?

    Answer: Close the door immediately and remove the obstruction

    Fire doors must remain closed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke; a propped door is an immediate hazard that must be corrected on the spot.

  4. Under FDNY rules, how long can a fireguard Certificate of Fitness holder be absent from the premises while on fire watch duty?

    Answer: They may not leave the premises while on duty

    Fire watch duty requires continuous presence; the certificate holder cannot leave the premises because any absence creates an unprotected window of risk.

  5. When smoke is visible in a corridor, a fireguard should advise occupants to travel through it by:

    Answer: Crawling low under the smoke where air is cleaner

    Smoke and toxic gases accumulate at higher levels; crawling keeps occupants below the smoke layer where oxygen concentrations are higher.

  6. A fireguard's Certificate of Fitness (F-02) specifically authorizes the holder to perform fire watch in which types of occupancies?

    Answer: In buildings and structures of all types as specified by FDNY

    The F-02 COF covers fireguard duties across all types of buildings and structures as permitted by FDNY, not limited to a single occupancy type.

  7. If a fire sprinkler system is restored to service after a shutdown, which action must the fireguard document?

    Answer: The exact time the system was restored and that fire watch patrols have ended

    The fire watch log must record the time of system restoration and the official end of fire watch patrols to close out the impaired-system period properly.
