Question 1

What is the Fire Command Center (FCC) in a high-rise building used for?

Accepted Answer

Centralizing fire alarm annunciation, communications, and emergency control functions

Question 2

If the fire alarm system goes into trouble mode (supervisory signal), what should the fireguard do?

Accepted Answer

Log the trouble signal, notify the building engineer or supervisor, and monitor the system for changes

Answer

A trouble/supervisory signal indicates a fault in the system (such as a low battery or open circuit) that must be documented, reported, and investigated to ensure the system remains operational.

Question 3

How should a fireguard respond if they discover the fire alarm panel is showing a zone in alarm?

Accepted Answer

Proceed to the alarming zone to investigate while ensuring 911 has been called

The fireguard or fire safety director manages communications between floor wardens and the fire command center to ensure orderly evacuation during drills and actual emergencies.

Question 5

What information must a fireguard relay to FDNY when calling 911 about a fire alarm activation?

Accepted Answer

Building address, the floor or zone in alarm, and a description of any visible signs of fire or smoke

FDNY dispatchers need the exact location, the zone or floor triggering the alarm, and any observable fire conditions to send the appropriate response.
