  1. How often must fire extinguishers at a torch operation site be inspected?

    Answer: At the start of each workday

    Extinguishers must be visually inspected at the start of each workday to confirm they are charged, accessible, and in working condition.

  2. A fire guard notices the safety pin on the fire extinguisher is missing. What should be done before torch work begins?

    Answer: Replace the extinguisher with one that has an intact pin

    A missing safety pin means the extinguisher could accidentally discharge or may have already been used, so it must be replaced before work starts.

  3. What is the minimum number of fire extinguishers required when torch operations are conducted on a rooftop?

    Answer: At least one at the point of operation

    At minimum, one properly rated extinguisher must be at the point of operation during torch work.

  4. Which PASS step in fire extinguisher use involves squeezing the handle to discharge the agent?

    Answer: Squeeze

    The 'S' in PASS stands for Squeeze — pressing the handle releases the extinguishing agent.

  5. A torch operation fire guard finds that the extinguisher's last annual service tag is from 18 months ago. What is required?

    Answer: Have it inspected and serviced before use

    Fire extinguishers require annual professional servicing, and one that is overdue must be serviced before it can be used on a job site.

  6. What hazard does a dry chemical fire extinguisher pose to torch operation equipment and the work surface?

    Answer: It leaves a corrosive residue that can damage surfaces and equipment

    Dry chemical agents leave a residue that is corrosive and can damage roofing membranes, equipment, and surfaces if not cleaned up promptly.

  7. Under FDNY rules, who is responsible for ensuring a properly rated fire extinguisher is present during torch operations?

    Answer: The Certificate of Fitness (F-60) holder on site

    The F-60 Certificate of Fitness holder is responsible for ensuring all fire safety equipment, including extinguishers, is present and ready during torch operations.
