  1. During a reported gas leak in a high-rise building, what is the Fire Life Safety Director's FIRST priority?

    Answer: Evacuate floors immediately above and below the leak

    Floors directly above and below a gas leak are at greatest risk and should be evacuated first while the utility company is notified simultaneously.

  2. A person in the lobby is experiencing a suspected cardiac arrest. After calling 911, what should the FLSD do next?

    Answer: Direct a trained staff member to begin CPR immediately

    Early CPR by a trained responder significantly improves survival odds and should begin without delay while EMS is en route.

  3. An active shooter is confirmed inside the building. Which response framework should the FLSD guide occupants to follow?

    Answer: RUN, HIDE, FIGHT

    The Run, Hide, Fight protocol is the nationally recognized framework for active-shooter situations taught by FEMA and law enforcement.

  4. During a structural collapse affecting part of the building, which area should the FLSD establish as the command post?

    Answer: A safe location outside the collapse zone with clear sightlines

    The command post must be positioned safely outside the hazard zone while allowing the FLSD to coordinate with emergency responders effectively.

  5. A tenant calls the Fire Control Room reporting a strong chemical smell on the 18th floor but no visible smoke. What should the FLSD do FIRST?

    Answer: Dispatch a fire warden to investigate and report back

    Sending a trained fire warden to investigate allows the FLSD to gather accurate information before deciding whether to escalate the response.

  6. During a power outage affecting all building systems, which emergency system must remain operational under FDNY rules?

    Answer: Emergency voice/alarm communication system (EVACS)

    EVACS must remain powered by backup systems at all times to allow the FLSD to communicate with occupants during any emergency.

  7. A water main break has caused significant flooding in the basement mechanical room. Who should the FLSD notify FIRST?

    Answer: The utility company and building chief engineer simultaneously

    Notifying the utility company to shut off water supply and the chief engineer to address mechanical systems are the most immediately actionable steps.
