After an evacuation, what should the fire guard do at the assembly point?
Answer: Account for occupants and prevent re-entry until cleared by FDNY
At the assembly point, the fire guard should help account for occupants and ensure no one re-enters the building until the FDNY gives the all-clear.
An F-03 fire guard smells gas in the venue. What is the appropriate response?
Answer: Immediately evacuate, avoid using electrical switches, and call 911
Gas leaks are extremely dangerous. The fire guard should evacuate immediately, avoid anything that could create a spark (including light switches), and call 911 from outside.
How should a fire guard alert occupants during an emergency if the public address system fails?
Answer: Use voice commands and hand signals to direct evacuation
If the PA system fails, the fire guard must use verbal commands, hand signals, and physical direction to guide occupants toward exits. Other staff should assist.
What should be included in a post-incident report by the fire guard?
Answer: Time, location, nature of incident, actions taken, injuries, and FDNY response details
A thorough post-incident report documents the timeline, location, nature of the incident, all actions taken by staff, any injuries, FDNY response, and resolution.
During a power outage at a place of assembly, what is the fire guard's priority?
Answer: Ensuring emergency lighting is functioning and maintaining calm evacuation if needed
The fire guard must verify that emergency lighting has activated, calm the occupants, and prepare for potential evacuation. Using candles is never permitted as they create a fire hazard.
When should a fire guard conduct a fire drill at a place of assembly?
Answer: At regular intervals as specified by the fire safety plan
Regular fire drills should be conducted as specified in the venue's fire safety plan to ensure staff are familiar with evacuation procedures and can guide occupants efficiently.
