Which of the following is an acceptable method for a fire guard to contain a small torch-ignited fire while waiting for FDNY?
Answer: Using a garden hose or portable extinguisher appropriate for the fire class
A garden hose or appropriate portable extinguisher can be used for initial attack on a small fire, but the fire guard must never leave the scene or use inappropriate materials.
During an emergency evacuation triggered by a torch-related fire, the fire guard's role is to:
Answer: Assist with evacuation and serve as a liaison to FDNY upon arrival
The fire guard assists the evacuation process and provides FDNY with critical site information when they arrive, while ensuring their own safety.
A fire guard discovers that propane cylinders near a torch operation have been exposed to fire. What is the CORRECT response?
Answer: Evacuate the area, call 911, and keep all personnel away
Propane cylinders exposed to fire pose a BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) risk; the only safe response is full evacuation and calling 911.
After FDNY extinguishes a torch-related fire, can the fire guard permit torch operations to resume?
Answer: No, torch operations cannot resume until FDNY grants clearance and required permits are re-evaluated
Following a fire suppressed by FDNY, torch operations may not resume without FDNY clearance and a review of whether permits and conditions remain valid.
A fire guard on a multi-story building notices a fire starting on the 8th floor during torch work. Building occupants are present on lower floors. What is the PRIORITY order of actions?

Life safety actions follow the sequence: activate the alarm to warn all occupants, call 911 for emergency response, then assist evacuation.

Answer: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep
PASS is the standard fire extinguisher technique: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep side to side.
A fire guard observes that smoke is issuing from a building's HVAC intake during torch operations on the adjacent roof. This indicates:
Answer: Smoke may be entering and spreading through the building's ventilation system
Smoke entering an HVAC intake can be distributed throughout the building, creating a life-safety emergency requiring immediate alarm and evacuation.
