  1. A significant earthquake occurs while the building is occupied. The FLSD's first priority after shaking stops is to:

    Answer: Conduct a rapid building assessment for structural damage before deciding whether to evacuate

    After an earthquake, the FLSD must first assess for structural damage, fire, gas leaks, and utility disruptions before deciding whether immediate evacuation is safer than sheltering in place.

  2. A chemical odor is reported on the 10th floor and several occupants report feeling dizzy. The FLSD should:

    Answer: Evacuate the 10th floor, call 911, and report the symptoms — do not send others to investigate without protection

    Reports of chemical odor with symptoms (dizziness) indicate a potential hazardous material incident. The 10th floor must be evacuated and 911 called immediately — FDNY Hazmat will respond.

  3. A flood occurs in the basement mechanical room. The FLSD should be concerned about which immediate safety hazard?

    Answer: Electrical panel flooding causing electrocution hazard and potential fire

    Flooding near electrical panels, motors, and service equipment creates electrocution hazards and can cause electrical fires — this is the most immediate life safety concern.

  4. How should the FLSD handle a report of carbon monoxide (CO) accumulation in a parking garage beneath the building?

    Answer: Evacuate the garage, call 911, and prevent re-entry until FDNY clears the space

    Carbon monoxide is an immediately dangerous, odorless gas. The garage must be evacuated immediately, 911 called, and no one allowed to re-enter until FDNY confirms the space is safe.

  5. During a water main break causing flooding on multiple floors, the FLSD should prioritize which action?

    Answer: Locating and shutting the main building water supply valve to stop the flooding

    The most effective immediate action during internal flooding is to shut the main building water supply valve to stop the source, limiting damage and hazards.

  6. A power outage occurs during business hours. The building's emergency generator does not start. The FLSD should:

    Answer: Verify life safety systems are operational on battery backup and call the generator service company

    If the generator fails to start, the FLSD verifies that battery-backed emergency systems (exit signs, emergency lighting, fire alarm) are operational and immediately calls the generator service company for emergency repair.
