A fire guard's pre-event checklist should include verifying that all of the following are operational EXCEPT:
Answer: Karaoke machine
The pre-event checklist covers fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, emergency lighting, exit signs, fire extinguishers, and exit doors — all life safety systems, not entertainment equipment.
During an event, a fire guard notices a DJ has run extension cords across an emergency exit. What immediate action is needed?
Answer: Have the cords rerouted immediately — they cannot cross an exit path
Extension cords across exit paths create both a trip hazard and potentially block egress. They must be rerouted immediately, regardless of impact on the event.
How should a fire guard handle a cooking demonstration using open flames at a place of assembly?
Answer: Ensure proper permits, fire extinguishers nearby, safe distances from combustibles, and continuous monitoring
Open flame demonstrations may be permitted with proper FDNY permits and safety measures: appropriate extinguishers nearby, safe clearance from combustibles, and continuous monitoring by the fire guard.
During the post-event check, a fire guard discovers a small area of smoldering material in a trash container. What should they do?
Answer: Extinguish it immediately using water or an appropriate extinguisher
Smoldering material must be extinguished immediately. The fire guard should use water or an appropriate extinguisher, then monitor the area to ensure the material doesn't reignite.
What should a fire guard document during the mid-event patrol?
Answer: Exit accessibility, occupant behavior, equipment status, and any hazards observed
Mid-event patrols should document the status of exits and aisles, any observed hazards, fire equipment condition, occupant count observations, and any violations or corrective actions taken.
A patron sets up unauthorized candles at their table during an event. What should the fire guard do?
Answer: Have the candles extinguished immediately — open flames require permits
Unauthorized open flames, including decorative candles, are prohibited without proper permits. The fire guard must have them extinguished immediately, regardless of the occasion.
