  1. What information must be entered in the fire watch log after each patrol?

    Answer: The time of patrol, floors covered, and any hazards or unusual conditions observed

    Each log entry must include the patrol time, areas covered, and a description of conditions or hazards found so there is a complete record.

  2. During a fire watch, a fire guard notices smoke coming from a utility closet. What is the correct sequence of actions?

    Answer: Activate the fire alarm, call 911, and do not open the closet door

    The guard must activate the alarm and call 911 immediately; opening the door could feed oxygen to the fire and accelerate spread.

  3. How long must a fire watch be maintained after a suppression system is restored to service?

    Answer: Until the system is tested and certified as operational by a licensed contractor

    The fire watch continues until the impaired system is restored and verified operational by a qualified contractor, not just when repairs appear complete.

  4. Which of the following is an acceptable reason to discontinue a fire watch before the system is restored?

    Answer: There is no acceptable reason; the watch must be continuous

    NYC Fire Code does not allow the fire watch to be discontinued until the impaired system is fully restored; no waiver or unoccupied status exempts this requirement.

  5. A fire guard must maintain a fire watch log on-site for a minimum of how long after the watch ends?

    Answer: 1 year

    Fire watch logs must be kept on-site and available for FDNY inspection for at least one year after the watch concludes.

  6. Which of the following best describes the route a fire guard should take during a patrol?

    Answer: A systematic route covering all floors, stairwells, and common areas

    The patrol must be systematic and thorough, covering all floors, stairwells, mechanical areas, and common areas to ensure no hazard is missed.

  7. What does the term 'impairment' mean in the context of a fire watch requirement?

    Answer: A fire protection system is temporarily or permanently out of service

    An impairment means a required fire protection system is out of service, either temporarily (for repairs) or permanently, triggering the fire watch requirement.
