When a torch operation ignites a fire in a wall cavity, what is the fire guard's FIRST action?
Answer: Activate the building fire alarm immediately
The fire guard must immediately activate the building fire alarm to initiate evacuation and alert emergency services when a fire is discovered.
A fire guard notices smoke coming from beneath a recently torched membrane roof. The building is occupied. What should the fire guard do?
Answer: Activate the alarm, call 911, and begin evacuation
Any sign of smoke in an occupied building requires immediate alarm activation, 911 call, and evacuation without delay.
After calling 911 for a fire emergency at a torch operation site, what critical information must the fire guard provide?
Answer: Exact location, nature of fire, and whether the building is occupied
Dispatchers need the exact address, fire description, and occupancy status to send appropriate resources and priority response.
A small fire starts during torch operations and a worker grabs a Class A extinguisher. The fire guard should:
Answer: Stop the worker — only Class ABC or dry chemical is appropriate for torch-related fires
Torch operations involve flammable liquids and burning membranes, requiring Class ABC or appropriate extinguishers; a Class A unit is inadequate for these fuel types.
During post-torch monitoring, a fire guard detects heat in a wall with an infrared thermometer. The reading is significantly above ambient temperature. What action is required?
Answer: Treat it as a potential hidden fire and call 911
An anomalous heat reading in a structural component after torch work indicates a potential concealed fire and must be treated as an emergency requiring 911.
The NYC Fire Code requires the fire guard to remain on-site after torch operations end for a minimum of how long?
Answer: 1 hour
NYC Fire Code requires the Certificate of Fitness holder to remain on-site for a minimum of 1 hour after all torch operations have ceased to monitor for delayed ignition.
If a fire emergency occurs and the fire guard must relay information to FDNY upon their arrival, which information is MOST important to communicate first?
Answer: Whether any personnel are unaccounted for and the fire location
FDNY's first priority upon arrival is life safety — the number of occupants and any missing persons, plus fire location, drives their initial tactical decisions.
