  1. During an emergency, the FLSD is responsible for meeting FDNY at which location?

    Answer: The fire command station (lobby command center)

    The Fire Command Station in the lobby is the designated coordination point where the FLSD meets and assists FDNY incident commanders.

  2. A fire alarm is activated on the 22nd floor of a 40-story building. Which floors should receive a relocation signal directing occupants to move to a lower floor?

    Answer: Floors 20 through 24

    Relocation typically involves the fire floor and two floors above and below to create a buffer zone, though exact protocols may vary by building plan.

  3. What action should the FLSD take when a sprinkler head activates in a mechanical room?

    Answer: Investigate the area, confirm the activation, call 911, and implement the emergency plan

    Any sprinkler activation must be treated as a real fire emergency: confirm the situation, call 911, and execute the fire safety plan.

  4. Under what circumstance is a partial evacuation (selective evacuation) appropriate in a high-rise building?

    Answer: When directed by FDNY or specified in the approved Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan

    Selective evacuation is only appropriate when specified by the building's approved Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan or directed by FDNY on scene.

  5. Which of the following best describes a 'Certificate of Fitness' as it relates to a Fire Life Safety Director in New York City?

    Answer: An FDNY-issued permit authorizing a person to perform specific fire safety functions

    A Certificate of Fitness (CoF) is an FDNY-issued permit that authorizes an individual to perform specific fire safety duties, including serving as an FLSD.

  6. If a person with a mobility impairment cannot use the stairwell during a building evacuation, where should they be directed to wait?

    Answer: An area of refuge (area of rescue assistance) near a stairwell

    Areas of refuge are designated, fire-protected spaces adjacent to stairwells where mobility-impaired occupants wait safely for FDNY assistance.

  7. What is the correct FLSD response when the fire alarm activates but a preliminary investigation reveals no visible signs of fire or smoke?

    Answer: Continue treating the alarm as real, maintain emergency procedures, and await FDNY

    The FLSD must treat every alarm as a real emergency until FDNY investigates and declares the building safe; only FDNY can authorize resuming normal operations.
