  1. What is the correct order of actions in the RACE protocol for fire response?

    Answer: Rescue, Alarm, Confine, Extinguish/Evacuate

    RACE stands for Rescue (anyone in immediate danger), Alarm (activate the fire alarm and call 911), Confine (close doors to contain the fire), and Extinguish or Evacuate.

  2. During a fire emergency, when should an F-02 Fire Guard attempt to use a fire extinguisher?

    Answer: Only on small, incipient-stage fires

    Fire guards should only attempt to extinguish small, incipient-stage fires that can reasonably be controlled with a portable extinguisher. Larger fires require professional firefighters.

  3. What does PASS stand for in fire extinguisher operation?

    Answer: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep

    PASS is the standard technique: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep from side to side.

  4. In a high-rise building, which stairwell should occupants use during a fire evacuation?

    Answer: The stairwell farthest from the fire

    Occupants should use the stairwell farthest from the fire to avoid smoke and heat exposure. Elevators should never be used during a fire unless they are specifically designated fire service elevators.

  5. What is the purpose of a fire safety plan in a NYC building?

    Answer: To outline procedures for fire prevention, evacuation, and emergency response

    A fire safety plan outlines all procedures related to fire prevention, discovery, reporting, evacuation routes, and emergency response specific to that building.

  6. How should an F-02 Fire Guard handle a false alarm situation?

    Answer: Investigate the cause, document it in the log, and notify appropriate personnel

    Even false alarms must be investigated to determine the cause, documented in the fire watch log, and reported to the appropriate building management personnel.
