✍️ Sample FLSD Questions & Answers

1. During an emergency, the FLSD receives conflicting instructions from the building owner and the fire incident commander on-scene. Who has authority?

✓ The fire incident commander, who assumes command during active emergencies

Once fire department personnel arrive on-scene, the incident commander assumes overall command authority, and the FLSD serves in a supporting advisory role.

2. During a high-rise fire emergency, a tenant reports that a person in a wheelchair is stranded on the 18th floor. What is the FLSD's priority action?

✓ Guide them to the nearest Area of Rescue Assistance and notify the fire department

Areas of Rescue Assistance are designated safe locations where mobility-impaired occupants wait for fire department assistance during evacuations.

3. A tenant on the 22nd floor requests a copy of the building's Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan. What is the FLSD's obligation under NYC Fire Code?

✓ Provide only the floor-specific portion relevant to that tenant's floor

Tenants are entitled to the portion of the Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan relevant to their occupied floor, not necessarily the full building-wide plan.

4. In a high-rise building, voice evacuation systems are required to provide instructions to occupants. Which area must receive intelligible voice messages FIRST during a fire alarm?

✓ The fire floor and the floors immediately above and below

NFPA 72 and NYC high-rise codes require that voice evacuation messages be directed first to the fire floor and the floors immediately above and below to prioritize those in greatest danger.

5. A high-rise building's roof exhaust fans are part of the smoke control system. During a fire, they are used to:

✓ Exhaust smoke from the building to assist in visibility and evacuation

Roof exhaust fans remove smoke from the building, improving visibility in evacuation routes and reducing toxic smoke exposure for occupants and firefighters.

6. A FLSD notices that non-English-speaking occupants struggled to understand evacuation instructions during a drill. What is the BEST solution?

✓ Provide multilingual fire safety materials and assign bilingual floor wardens where possible

Providing fire safety information in multiple languages and using bilingual wardens ensures all occupants can understand and follow evacuation procedures.
