Which training topic is most important to cover with floor wardens regarding stairwell use during evacuation?
Answer: Never use elevators, keep right on stairs, do not pass FDNY going up
Floor wardens must instruct occupants to never use elevators during fire evacuation, keep right in stairwells to allow FDNY passage, and not impede firefighters ascending to the fire floor.
A building decides to conduct an unannounced fire drill. What is the FLSD's responsibility?
Answer: Ensure floor wardens know it is a drill even if tenants are not pre-notified
While tenants may not be pre-notified in an unannounced drill, floor wardens must know it is a drill so they can properly manage the evacuation and the safety of occupants.
The 'Fire Safety Plan' that the FLSD operates under must be approved by:
Answer: FDNY Bureau of Fire Prevention
The building's Fire Safety Plan must be reviewed and approved by the FDNY Bureau of Fire Prevention before it is implemented.
How should the FLSD handle a situation where a tenant refuses to participate in a fire drill?
Answer: Document the refusal and inform building management — non-participation violates NYC Fire Code
Fire drill participation is required under NYC Fire Code. The FLSD must document refusals and notify building management, as building owners are responsible for ensuring tenant compliance.
A floor warden's kit should contain which essential item for accounting for all occupants during an emergency?

The FLSD must update floor warden assignments when:
Answer: Whenever there is a change in floor occupants, building layout, or warden availability
Floor warden assignments and rosters must be kept current whenever there are changes — new employees, tenant turnover, layout modifications, or warden departures.
