Fire Guard F‑02 for Homeless Shelters

This course is designed to prepare candidates for the FDNY Consolidated Fire Guard Certificate of Fitness Exam F-02, which includes material for Shelters.

The course includes information taken from the FDNY Fire Code and the Fire Prevention Directives of the Bureau of Fire Prevention. The material does not cover all the information that candidates need to know in order to perform the functions of a Fire Guard at the candidates' work locations.

It is the responsibility of the candidates to acquire as much site-specific information as possible to effectively perform the functions of a Fire Guard.

After attending the course, candidates must take the Fire Guard exam at FDNY Headquarters at 9 MetroTech Center in Brooklyn, New York. The exam consists of multiple choice questions and a passing score of 70% or higher is compulsory.

Fire Guard services are required in buildings or parts thereof occupied or operated to be occupied by emergency shelters shall be continuously patrolled by a Fire Guard. Every area of the building shall be patrolled at least once every hour. F-02 holders may additionally be assigned to monitor the areas in a shelter in which a fire protection system is out of service.

Fire Guards are responsible for the safety of all shelter occupants and employees by eliminating fire hazards and assisting in the evacuation of occupants during drills and in case of an emergency. Fire Guards are responsible for making sure that fire safety regulations are being complied with in the shelter. They should be familiar with and knowledgeable of the location and operation of all fire alarm systems in the shelter in which they are employed.
