What is the first step an F-03 fire guard should take upon discovering a fire?
Answer: Activate the nearest fire alarm pull station
The first step is to activate the fire alarm to alert all occupants. This triggers evacuation and notifies the fire department. Personal firefighting should only be attempted if safe to do so.
Which emergency number should an F-03 fire guard call to report a fire?
Answer: 911
911 is the emergency number for reporting fires, medical emergencies, and other life-threatening situations in New York City.
When communicating with 911 about a fire, what information should the fire guard provide?
Answer: Address, nature of emergency, floor/location of fire, and number of occupants
The fire guard should provide the exact address, nature of the emergency, location of the fire within the building, approximate number of occupants, and any known injuries.
What is the purpose of a fire safety and evacuation plan in a place of assembly?
Answer: To provide organized procedures for safe evacuation during emergencies
The fire safety and evacuation plan establishes organized procedures for safely evacuating occupants during emergencies, including designated evacuation routes and staff responsibilities.
During an evacuation, a fire guard encounters a person with mobility impairment. What should they do?
Answer: Assist them to a designated area of refuge and inform firefighters of their location
The fire guard should assist the person to a designated area of refuge (a protected area near a stairway) and notify arriving firefighters of their exact location for assisted evacuation.
What communication device should an F-03 fire guard ideally have access to during an event?
Answer: A two-way radio or communication system connected to venue management
A two-way radio or internal communication system allows the fire guard to quickly communicate with venue management, other staff, and security during emergencies.
