What is the primary purpose of the pre-event safety inspection conducted by an F-03 fire guard?
Answer: To identify and correct fire safety hazards before the public is admitted
The pre-event inspection is conducted before guests arrive to identify and correct any fire safety hazards — such as blocked exits, missing fire extinguishers, or non-compliant decorations — before the public is placed at risk.
Which of the following items should be checked during a pre-event fire safety inspection?
Answer: Exit door operability, fire extinguisher condition, and exit sign illumination
A pre-event fire safety inspection must include checking that all required exit doors open freely, fire extinguishers are in proper condition and not obstructed, and exit signs are illuminated. These are the core life-safety items that directly affect the ability of occupants to escape a fire.
During an event, an F-03 fire guard notices a fire extinguisher has been moved and is now blocked by a table. What is the correct response?
Answer: Move the table or relocate the extinguisher to ensure it is accessible and document the correction
A blocked fire extinguisher is a fire code violation and a safety hazard. The fire guard must immediately clear the obstruction or relocate the extinguisher to a visible and accessible position, then document the correction in the logbook.
What is the proper fire guard procedure when a performer brings pyrotechnic devices to a venue that has not been approved for pyrotechnics?
Answer: Prohibit the use of pyrotechnics and notify the fire safety director immediately
Pyrotechnic devices require a separate FDNY permit for each performance. Use of pyrotechnics without prior FDNY approval is strictly prohibited. The fire guard must prohibit their use and immediately notify the fire safety director.
What post-event checks must an F-03 fire guard perform after all guests have left?
Answer: Conduct a full sweep of the premises to ensure no fire hazards remain and no one is left inside
After all guests have left, the fire guard must conduct a final sweep of the entire premises. This ensures no smoldering materials, unattended candles, or hidden guests remain, and that the venue is secure and free of fire hazards before the fire guard ends their duty.
What should a fire guard document in the logbook at the conclusion of their duty?
Answer: The time they went off duty, a summary of conditions at the venue, and any notable observations
At the end of duty, the fire guard must record the time they went off duty, the conditions observed during the post-event sweep, and any notable incidents or observations. This final entry closes the official record for that shift.
