F60 Emergency Response Procedures 2

Question 1

When a torch operation ignites a fire in a wall cavity, what is the fire guard's FIRST action?

Accepted Answer

Activate the building fire alarm immediately

Answer

The fire guard must immediately activate the building fire alarm to initiate evacuation and alert emergency services when a fire is discovered.

Question 2

A fire guard notices smoke coming from beneath a recently torched membrane roof. The building is occupied. What should the fire guard do?

Accepted Answer

Activate the alarm, call 911, and begin evacuation

Answer

Any sign of smoke in an occupied building requires immediate alarm activation, 911 call, and evacuation without delay.

Question 3

After calling 911 for a fire emergency at a torch operation site, what critical information must the fire guard provide?

Accepted Answer

Exact location, nature of fire, and whether the building is occupied

Answer

Dispatchers need the exact address, fire description, and occupancy status to send appropriate resources and priority response.

Question 4

A small fire starts during torch operations and a worker grabs a Class A extinguisher. The fire guard should:

Accepted Answer

Stop the worker — only Class ABC or dry chemical is appropriate for torch-related fires

Answer

Torch operations involve flammable liquids and burning membranes, requiring Class ABC or appropriate extinguishers; a Class A unit is inadequate for these fuel types.

Question 5

During post-torch monitoring, a fire guard detects heat in a wall with an infrared thermometer. The reading is significantly above ambient temperature. What action is required?

Accepted Answer

Treat it as a potential hidden fire and call 911

Answer

An anomalous heat reading in a structural component after torch work indicates a potential concealed fire and must be treated as an emergency requiring 911.
