F Procedures and Guidelines 3

Question 1

A fire guard is stationed at a venue where pyrotechnic special effects are being used on stage. What special precautions are required?

Accepted Answer

A specific FDNY permit, additional fire extinguishers, and fire guard proximity to the pyrotechnics

Answer

Indoor pyrotechnics require a specific FDNY permit, additional fire suppression equipment, trained pyrotechnicians, and close fire guard monitoring. The fire guard should be positioned near the stage.

Question 2

What should a fire guard do if they witness an assault or crime during an event?

Accepted Answer

Contact venue security and/or police while maintaining their fire safety post

Answer

The fire guard should alert security or police but must not abandon their fire safety duties. Their primary responsibility remains fire and life safety.

Question 3

What procedure should a fire guard follow when severe weather threatens the venue?

Accepted Answer

Monitor weather alerts, prepare for potential power outages, and be ready to implement evacuation or shelter-in-place procedures

Answer

The fire guard should monitor weather conditions, ensure emergency systems are ready for potential power loss, and be prepared to implement evacuation or shelter-in-place plans as appropriate.

Question 4

A fire guard notices that the venue's emergency generator failed its automatic start test. What should they report?

Accepted Answer

Report it to building management as the generator powers emergency lighting, fire alarms, and other life safety systems

Answer

The emergency generator powers critical life safety systems. Its failure to start is an immediate concern that must be reported to building management for urgent repair.

Question 5

How should a fire guard handle a medical emergency (heart attack, seizure) during an event?

Accepted Answer

Call 911, provide basic first aid if trained, ensure EMS has clear access, and maintain fire safety duties

Answer

Call 911 immediately, provide basic assistance if trained (CPR, AED use), ensure EMS can access the patient, but also maintain awareness of fire safety duties — another staff member may need to cover patrols.
