During patrols, Fireguards should make sure:
- Ensure exit signs are illuminated and self-closing doors are free of unobstructed objects.
- Floors are swept and mopped.
- The Fire Safety director has a walkie-talkie.
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Ensure exit signs are illuminated and self-closing doors are free of unobstructed objects.

Explanation

Fireguards should ensure that exit signs are illuminated and self-closing doors are free of unobstructed objects during patrols. This is important for maintaining a safe environment in case of a fire emergency. Illuminated exit signs help people locate the nearest exit, while unobstructed self-closing doors allow for quick and easy evacuation. The other options mentioned, such as sweeping and mopping floors or the Fire Safety director having a walkie-talkie, are not directly related to ensuring fire safety during patrols.

Fire alarm systems can not be classified as automatic, manual or both.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Fire alarm systems can be classified as either automatic or manual, or even both. Automatic fire alarm systems are designed to detect fires and initiate an alarm without human intervention. These systems are typically equipped with smoke detectors, heat detectors, or flame detectors that can sense the presence of fire. On the other hand, manual fire alarm systems require human intervention to activate the alarm. These systems usually consist of pull stations or break glass units that individuals can use to manually trigger the alarm in case of a fire emergency. Therefore, fire alarm systems can indeed be classified as automatic, manual, or both.

- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

During fireguard patrols, it is important for fireguards to have knowledge of the location of fire extinguishers, inspect all exits, examine all doors, and ensure exit signs are illuminated. This is necessary to ensure the safety of individuals in case of a fire emergency. By knowing the location of fire extinguishers, fireguards can quickly access them and extinguish small fires before they spread. Inspecting all exits and doors helps identify any potential obstructions or hazards that may hinder evacuation. Ensuring that exit signs are illuminated allows for clear visibility and guidance during an emergency. Therefore, the statement is true.

Fireguards must be provided with at least 1 approved means for notification of the Fire Department.
- Check the floors.
- Wait outside for help.
- Must activate the fire alarm and must also call 911.
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Must activate the fire alarm and must also call 911.

Explanation

The correct answer is that fireguards must activate the fire alarm and also call 911. This is because in the event of a fire, it is crucial to notify both the fire department and the occupants of the building. Activating the fire alarm alerts everyone inside the building to evacuate, while calling 911 ensures that the fire department is notified and can respond to the emergency. Both actions are necessary to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

What causes sprinkler heads to open?
- Rise in Temperature
- A disk
- Fire extinguisher
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Rise in Temperature

Explanation

Sprinkler heads are designed to open when there is a rise in temperature. This is because sprinkler heads are equipped with a heat-sensitive element, such as a glass bulb or fusible link, that expands when exposed to high temperatures. When the element expands, it triggers the release of water from the sprinkler head, effectively extinguishing the fire. Therefore, the rise in temperature is the main cause for sprinkler heads to open and activate.

What should a Fireguard do if they encounter an obstructed fire exit during patrol?
- Remove the obstruction immediately
- Notify the Fire Safety Director
- Mark it as non-operational
- Ignore it
Correct Answer

A. Remove the obstruction immediately

Explanation

If a Fireguard encounters an obstructed fire exit during patrol, it is crucial to remove the obstruction immediately. Fire exits are a vital part of emergency evacuation plans and must always be accessible. Delays caused by obstructions can endanger lives during a fire. Fireguards are trained to identify such hazards and take swift corrective action. By removing the obstruction, they ensure compliance with fire safety standards and minimize risks. Prompt action prevents legal violations and ensures the safety of occupants. Ignoring or delaying response can lead to severe consequences, including injuries or fatalities during emergencies.

- Every 6 months
- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
Correct Answer

A. Daily

Explanation

Visual inspections of fire extinguishers should be performed daily to ensure they are fully functional and accessible during emergencies. Daily inspections allow for the early detection of issues, such as low pressure, blockages, or physical damage. Fire extinguishers are a critical first line of defense against fires, and their readiness can significantly reduce property damage and save lives. Performing checks weekly or monthly may miss urgent issues. A consistent daily routine helps Fireguards identify any discrepancies promptly, reducing potential fire risks and ensuring the building complies with local safety regulations and codes.
