FLSD Staff Training and Drills 3

Question 1

Which resource should the FLSD consult to determine the most current NYC fire safety training requirements for floor wardens?

Accepted Answer

FDNY regulations and NYC Fire Code, updated through the FDNY website and Bureau of Fire Prevention bulletins

Answer

FDNY regulations and NYC Fire Code — available through the FDNY website and BFP bulletins — are the authoritative sources for current NYC-specific fire safety training requirements.

Question 2

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) affects the FLSD's emergency planning by requiring:

Accepted Answer

Emergency evacuation plans that accommodate occupants with mobility, visual, and hearing impairments

Answer

ADA requires that emergency evacuation plans provide equivalent emergency evacuation capability for all occupants, addressing mobility, visual, and hearing impairments.

Question 3

When a new building opens or an FLSD starts at a new building, their first priority should be to:

Accepted Answer

Thoroughly read and understand the approved fire safety plan and conduct a complete building walk-through

Answer

An FLSD's first priority at a new building is to thoroughly understand the fire safety plan and conduct a complete walk-through to learn the building's layout, systems, and equipment locations.

Question 4

An FLSD training program should include fire extinguisher training that covers which type of fires CANNOT be safely fought by building occupants?

Accepted Answer

Large fires, fires with no clear escape route, or fires involving hazardous materials

Answer

Occupants should never attempt to fight large fires, any fire that blocks their escape route, or fires involving hazardous or unknown materials — these require FDNY response and evacuation.

Question 5

The FLSD conducts quarterly training updates with floor wardens. The primary purpose of quarterly (versus annual) updates is to:

Accepted Answer

Maintain warden proficiency, address personnel changes, and refresh procedures before they are forgotten

Answer

Quarterly updates maintain warden proficiency (skills degrade without practice), address turnover (new wardens need training), and refresh procedures before annual drills.
