‭Fire Guards: Keeping Shelter Residents Safe‬


‭Emergency shelters have a unique responsibility to ensure the safety of their residents. This is‬

‭where fire guards come in! Fire guards are essential for maintaining fire safety in shelters by:‬


‭●‬ ‭Performing regular patrols:‬‭You'll be walking through‬‭the shelter checking for fire‬

‭hazards every hour.‬

‭●‬ ‭Responding to fire emergencies:‬‭You'll be helping‬‭to evacuate residents and ensure‬

‭everyone gets out safely.‬

‭●‬ ‭Monitoring fire protection systems:‬‭If the shelter's‬‭fire alarm system is out of service,‬

‭you'll be responsible for keeping a watchful eye for fires.‬

‭●‬ ‭Enforcing fire safety rules:‬‭You'll help to make sure‬‭everyone in the shelter follows the‬

‭fire safety procedures to keep everyone safe.‬


‭Why You Need the F-02 Certificate‬


‭The F-02 Certificate of Fitness is a credential that shows you have the knowledge and skills to be‬

‭a fire guard in a shelter. It covers both daily patrols and fire watch procedures for out-of-service‬

‭fire protection systems.‬


‭What's Different About the F-02 Certificate?‬


‭Before the F-02, there were separate certificates for fire guards in shelters (F-44) and fire watch‬

‭in out-of-service situations (F-01). The F-02 combines these roles into one certificate, making it‬

‭easier for shelters to have qualified staff on hand.‬




‭3‬

,‭F-04 vs. F-01 vs. F-02: A Breakdown‬


‭Certificate‬ ‭Responsibilities‬



‭F-44 Fireguard for Shelters‬ ‭Performs hourly patrols in shelters‬


‭F-01 Citywide Fire Guard for‬ ‭Performs fire watch in out-of-service situations (not shelter‬
‭Impairment‬ ‭specific)‬


‭F-02 Fire Guard for Shelters‬ ‭Performs hourly patrols in shelters AND fire watch in‬
‭out-of-service situations‬




‭Maintaining Your F-02 Certificate‬


‭Your F-02 certificate is valid for three years. To renew it, you may need to take additional‬

‭training to stay up-to-date on fire safety procedures.‬


‭Important Note: Following the Rules‬


‭The word "shall" in this guide means something is required by law. "Should" means it's a‬

‭recommended practice. As a fire guard, it's crucial to follow all fire safety rules and regulations.‬


‭Keeping Your Certificate: Avoiding Misconduct‬


‭Fire guards who don't fulfill their duties or act unethically risk losing their certificates. This‬

‭includes things like failing to properly patrol, lying on your application, or cheating on an exam.‬




‭4‬

,‭Conclusion‬

‭Fire guards play a vital role in keeping shelter residents safe. The F-02 Certificate ensures you‬

‭have the knowledge and skills to be effective in this critical position. By understanding your‬

‭responsibilities and following the rules, you can make a real difference in the safety of your‬

‭shelter.‬




‭5‬

, ‭Chapter 2 -‬‭Definitions‬
‭This chapter defines important terms you'll encounter as a fire guard in a homeless‬
‭shelter. Knowing these terms will help you perform your duties effectively and ensure‬
‭the safety of shelter residents.‬

‭Building Occupants:‬‭Everyone in the shelter, including‬‭staff, residents, visitors, and volunteers.‬

‭Central‬ ‭Station‬ ‭Company:‬ ‭A‬ ‭company‬ ‭that‬ ‭receives‬ ‭fire‬ ‭alarm‬ ‭signals‬‭from‬‭your‬‭shelter‬‭and‬

‭relays them to the fire department (FDNY).‬

‭Emergency‬‭Preparedness‬‭Plan:‬‭A‬‭plan‬‭outlining‬‭how‬‭to‬‭respond‬‭to‬‭emergencies‬‭like‬‭fires.‬‭This‬

‭plan‬ ‭includes‬ ‭procedures‬ ‭for‬ ‭evacuating‬ ‭the‬ ‭shelter,‬ ‭relocating‬ ‭residents,‬ ‭or‬ ‭sheltering‬ ‭them‬ ‭in‬

‭place.‬‭It‬‭also‬‭ensures‬‭someone‬‭on-site‬‭can‬‭assist‬‭firefighters‬‭upon‬‭arrival.‬‭This‬‭plan‬‭may‬‭also‬‭be‬

‭called a fire safety and evacuation plan or emergency action plan.‬

‭Evacuation:‬‭The process of everyone leaving the shelter‬‭during a fire or other emergency.‬

‭Fire‬ ‭Alarm‬ ‭System:‬ ‭A‬ ‭network‬ ‭of‬ ‭devices‬ ‭that‬ ‭detects‬ ‭fires,‬ ‭sounds‬ ‭alarms,‬ ‭and‬ ‭may‬ ‭show‬

‭where the fire is located.‬

‭Fire‬‭Guard:‬‭A‬‭person‬‭with‬‭an‬‭F-02‬‭Certificate‬‭of‬‭Fitness‬‭who‬‭is‬‭trained‬‭to‬‭patrol‬‭the‬‭shelter‬‭for‬

‭fire hazards and perform fire watch duties.‬

‭Fire‬ ‭Protection‬ ‭System:‬ ‭Devices‬ ‭and‬ ‭equipment‬ ‭designed‬ ‭to‬ ‭detect‬ ‭fires,‬ ‭activate‬ ‭alarms,‬

‭extinguish fires, or control fire alarm, sprinkler, and standpipe systems.‬

‭Fire‬ ‭Watch:‬ ‭A‬ ‭temporary‬ ‭procedure‬ ‭where‬ ‭qualified‬ ‭individuals‬ ‭like‬ ‭yourself‬ ‭continuously‬

‭monitor‬ ‭a‬ ‭building‬ ‭or‬ ‭part‬ ‭of‬ ‭it‬ ‭for‬ ‭fire‬ ‭hazards.‬ ‭This‬ ‭includes‬ ‭looking‬ ‭for‬ ‭early‬ ‭signs‬ ‭of‬ ‭fire,‬

‭sounding the alarm, notifying the fire department, and taking other fire safety actions as directed.‬
