Building occupants All persons in the building, including employees, building personnel and visitors. CENTRAL STATION COMPANY A facility that receives alarm signals from a protected premise and retransmits or otherwise reports such alarm signals to the FDNY. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN also known as the fire safety and evacuation plan and/or emergency action plan. EVACUATION - the emptying of a building of all building occupants in response to a fire or an emergency FIRE ALARM SYSTEM - any system, including any interconnected fire alarm sub-system, of components and circuits arranged to monitor and annunciate the status of fire alarm or supervisory signal-initiating devices. FIRE GUARD - A person holding a Certificate of Fitness for such purposes, who is trained in and responsible for maintaining a fire watch. FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS - Approved devices, equipment and systems or combinations of systems used to detect a fire, activate an alarm, extinguish or control a fire, control or manage fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems and standpipe systems FIRE WATCH A temporary measure intended to ensure continuous and systematic surveillance of a building or portion thereof by one or more qualified individuals for the purposes of identifying and controlling fire hazards, including detecting early signs of fire, raising an alarm of fire, notifying the department, and performing such other fire safety duties as may be prescribed by the commissioner. IMPAIRMENT - Any condition in which a fire protection system cannot perform its designed fire safety function. IMPAIRMENT COORDINATOR - The person designated by the building owner who is responsible for ensuring that proper notification and safety precautions are taken when a standpipe system, sprinkler system or fire alarm system is out of services NON-FIRE EMERGENCY A biological, chemical or nuclear incident or release; declaration of emergency by a lawful authority; explosion; medical emergency; natural disaster; or other emergency affecting the premises or the safety of building occupants. OWNER/OCCUPANT RESPONSIBILITY - The owner shall be responsible at all times for the safe maintenance of a building, structure and premises in accordance with this code. TWO-WAY VOICE COMMUNICATION - a form of transmission in which both parties involved have the ability to transmit information. Two way voice communication uses warden phones that are placed at several locations throughout the building, usually near the exit stairways in the building. Certificate of Occupancy is the official document that establishes the maximum number of occupants authorized to be in the shelter. Fire Guard Patrols Fire guards are responsible for patrolling every area of the shelter at least once every hour. Out-of-Service Conditions When a required fire protection system in a shelter is out of service, the building should be evacuated or a fire watch shall be maintained by one or more persons holding an F-02 certificate of fitness. Fire Watch Patrol Record the date, name, Certificate of Fitness number and signature of the fire guard who conducted Typical Causes of Fire in Shelters Misuse of portable heaters Unattended candles Overloaded extension cords Unattended and prohibited microwaves Unattended cigarettes or smoking in prohibited areas, etc... Emergency Reporting Any owner, occupant or other person who becomes aware of a fire or explosion or any other emergency shall immediately report such emergency to the department. Fire Alarm Systems Building owners must ensure that their shelters have fire alarm systems approved by the New York City Fire Department. Classified as automatic, manual activated or both. Types of Fire Alarm Initiating Devices A. Automatic Detection Devices B. Area Smoke Detector C. Elevator lobby smoke detectors D. Beam detectors E. Duct smoke detectors F. Heat Detector A. Automatic Detection Devices have sensors which detect heat, smoke or the flow of water in a fire alarm system. Area Smoke Detector is a device that detects visible or invisible particles of combustion. It should be cleaned and maintained every six months only by an S-97 or S-98 Certificate of Fitness Elevator lobby smoke detectors - detectors that when activated will recall elevators automatically to the designated landing. Beam detectors are used to protect large areas where area smoke detectors are not practical. This detector consists of a light beam that when broken by any combustible particle will trigger the detector. Duct smoke detectors are designed to sample air flow in the HVAC air duct and to detect the presence of particles of combustion. These smoke detectors will upon activation, shutdown the system's fan. Heat detectors - A sensor that detects abnormally high temperatures or rate of temperature rise. The rate-of-rise heat detectors activate the alarm when the room temperature increases at a rapid rate. This type of detector is more sensitive than the fixed temperature detector. The rate-of-rise heat detector does not have to be replaced after it has activated the fire alarm. Fixed-temperature heat detectors activate the alarm when the detector components melt at a preset temperature level. The fixed-temperature heat detectors normally require replacement after they have sounded an alarm. However, intelligent heat detectors will usually reset themselves. Carbon Monoxide Alarm A single or multiple-station alarm responsive to carbon monoxide, containing a build-in initiation sensor, notification device, and power supply and is not connected to a system. Carbon Monoxide Detector A device that sounds an alarm when a dangerous level of carbon monoxide is reached A device that is responsive to carbon monoxide and is connected to the fire alarm control panel. required in any building that has fossil (gas and oil) fuel burning equipments.
