Before an event begins, what should an F-03 fire guard inspect?
Answer: All exits, aisles, fire extinguishers, and fire alarm systems
Pre-event inspections should cover all exits and aisles (clear and unobstructed), fire extinguishers (charged and accessible), fire alarm pull stations, and sprinkler systems.
Can an F-03 fire guard perform duties other than fire safety while on assignment?
Answer: No, their sole duty must be fire safety and life safety
An F-03 fire guard must be dedicated solely to fire and life safety duties. They cannot be assigned other responsibilities that could distract from their primary role.
During an evacuation, what is the fire guard's primary responsibility?
Answer: Guiding occupants safely to designated exits and assembly areas
The fire guard's primary responsibility during evacuation is to direct occupants calmly and efficiently to designated exits and safe assembly areas, not to fight the fire.
A fire guard observes an extension cord running across an aisle. What should they do?
Answer: Have the cord removed or safely rerouted as it's a trip and fire hazard
Extension cords across aisles create both a trip hazard and a fire hazard (from damage). The fire guard should have it removed or safely rerouted immediately.
What should an F-03 fire guard do if the fire alarm sounds during an event?
Answer: Immediately begin evacuation procedures
When a fire alarm sounds, the fire guard must treat it as a real emergency and immediately initiate evacuation procedures. Never assume it's a false alarm.
How should a fire guard handle an intoxicated patron who refuses to follow safety instructions?
Answer: Notify venue management or security for assistance
The fire guard should not physically confront the patron but should notify venue management or security personnel to handle the situation while continuing to monitor for safety.
