  1. Under NYC Fire Code, who is responsible for ensuring a fire extinguisher is readily accessible during torch operations?

    Answer: The Certificate of Fitness holder (fire guard)

    The Certificate of Fitness holder is responsible for verifying that appropriate fire extinguishers are present and accessible at the torch operation site.

  2. A fire guard witnesses a worker sustain a burn injury during a torch operation fire. After calling 911, the fire guard should:

    Answer: Keep the victim calm, do not remove clothing stuck to the burn, and wait for EMS

    For burn injuries, keep the victim calm and still, do not remove clothing adhered to the burn, and allow trained EMS to provide treatment.

  3. If wind conditions cause torch flames to contact unintended combustible materials, what should the fire guard do FIRST?

    Answer: Order an immediate halt to torch operations and assess for fire

    Wind-caused contact between torch flame and unintended materials requires an immediate work stoppage to prevent fire spread while the fire guard assesses the situation.

  4. The FDNY Incident Commander arrives at a torch fire scene. The fire guard should:

    Answer: Report to the Incident Commander and provide site-specific information

    Upon FDNY arrival, the fire guard must immediately report to the Incident Commander and provide information about materials, layout, occupants, and hazards.

  5. What does a fire guard do if, during post-torch monitoring, they must leave the site for an emergency personal matter?

    Answer: A qualified relief fire guard with an F60 Certificate of Fitness must take over the watch

    Fire watch cannot be abandoned; if the F60 holder must leave, another qualified Certificate of Fitness holder must physically take over the post.

  6. A torch-related fire has been extinguished with a portable extinguisher. Why must the fire guard still call 911?

    Answer: Concealed smoldering may remain undetected and reignite without FDNY inspection

    Even after visible extinguishment, hidden smoldering in structural cavities can reignite; FDNY inspection is necessary to confirm the fire is fully out.

  7. When torch operations are conducted in a building with an active sprinkler system, and a fire activates the sprinklers, the fire guard should:

    Answer: Evacuate all personnel and call 911 — a sprinkler activation indicates fire

    A sprinkler activation is evidence of a fire requiring emergency response; personnel must evacuate and 911 must be called regardless of apparent cause.
