What is the first action an F-03 fire guard must take upon discovering a fire on a construction site?
Answer: Activate the fire alarm (if available) and call 911 immediately
Activating the alarm and calling 911 must occur immediately — these actions must not be delayed for any other reason including attempted extinguishment.
What information must the F-03 fire guard provide when calling 911 to report a construction site fire?
Answer: The address, building type (construction site), floor or area of fire, nature of the fire, and number of persons on site
911 dispatch requires complete information to deploy the correct FDNY resources: address, building type, fire location and nature, and occupant count.
What is the designated assembly area on a construction site for emergency evacuations?
Answer: A pre-designated area that is remote from the building, away from emergency vehicle access lanes, and known to all workers
Assembly areas must be pre-designated, away from the building and emergency access lanes, and all workers must know the location before starting work.
What is the role of the F-03 fire guard during a construction site evacuation?
Answer: Direct workers to the assembly area, assist with evacuation, account for personnel, and brief FDNY upon arrival
The F-03 fire guard coordinates the evacuation, directs workers to the assembly area, accounts for all personnel, and is the primary contact for FDNY upon arrival.
What must be established at the start of a construction project as part of emergency planning?
Answer: An emergency action plan including evacuation routes, assembly areas, alarm procedures, and worker notification
An emergency action plan with specific evacuation procedures, alarm methods, assembly areas, and worker notification protocols must be established before construction begins.
What should the F-03 fire guard do if a worker is injured during a construction site fire emergency?
Answer: Call 911 immediately (if not already called), describe the injuries to dispatch, and provide first aid only if trained to do so
911 should be called immediately for injured workers, injury information provided to dispatch, and first aid provided only within the fire guard's training level.
