FDNYC G60 Practice Exam Answers Correct Updated Summer 25/26.
Question 1
All torch operators, an oxygen-fuel torch using any amount of oxygen and flammable gas, and
fire guards must have a current:
A) Driver's license
B) High school diploma
C) Certificate of Fitness
D) Employer's ID badge
E) Welding certification
Correct Answer: C) Certificate of Fitness
Rationale: The FDNY requires specific certifications for individuals involved in hot
work operations to ensure they have the necessary knowledge and training to
perform their duties safely.
Question 2
The Certificate of Fitness holder for torch operations must:
A) Only supervise, never operate the torch.
B) Must regulate the pressure and flow of oxygen and natural gas to each torch.
C) Only monitor the surrounding area for sparks.
D) Be responsible for obtaining the initial hot work permit.
E) Only handle the fuel gas cylinders.
Correct Answer: B) must regulate the pressure and flow of oxygen and natural gas to
each torch.
Rationale: Proper regulation of gas pressure and flow is critical for safe and efficient
torch operation, preventing hazards like flashback or uncontrolled flames.
,Question 3
If torch operation for jewelry manufacture involves any oxygen with any fuel gas containers, the
operator must:
A) Have a general knowledge of torch safety.
B) Be a C of F holder.
C) Be supervised by a C of F holder, but not necessarily hold one themselves.
D) Be certified by the manufacturer of the torch.
E) Only operate the torch in a designated industrial zone.
Correct Answer: B) be a C of F holder.
Rationale: Even for specialized applications like jewelry manufacturing, the use of
oxygen and flammable gas mixtures for torch operations falls under the purview of
FDNY regulations requiring a Certificate of Fitness.
Question 4
A Certificate of Fitness Holder must keep his or her certificate:
A) At home for safekeeping.
B) In a locked office drawer.
C) On their person or otherwise readily available for inspection by any representative of the
Fire Department.
D) Displayed prominently in the main office.
E) Only accessible through an online database.
Correct Answer: C) on their person or otherwise readily available for inspection by
any representative of the fire Department
Rationale: The COF must be immediately presentable to FDNY representatives
,upon request to verify the holder's qualifications and authorization to perform the
work.
Question 5
The easiest way to extinguish a fire caused by a leak in a gas line is to:
A) Use a large fire extinguisher.
B) Call 911 immediately.
C) Close the shutoff valve.
D) Apply water to the flames.
E) Evacuate the area only.
Correct Answer: C) close the shutoff valve
Rationale: Shutting off the fuel supply (closing the shutoff valve) eliminates the
source of the fire, making it the most effective and often safest method to
extinguish a gas leak fire.
Question 6
Permits issued by the FDNY are required to conduct the following hot work:
A) Storing, using or handling oxygen and a flammable gas.
B) Storing, using or handling any flammable gas (e.g. LPG or CNG or acetylene) in excess of 400
SCF.
C) Storing, using or handling any oxidizing gas (e.g. oxygen) in excess of 504 SCF.
D) All of the above.
E) Only welding operations.
Correct Answer: D) All of the above.
Rationale: The FDNY sets specific thresholds for the storage and use of flammable
, and oxidizing gases, above which a permit is required due to the inherent fire and
explosion hazards.
Question 7
For LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), 400 SCF (Standard Cubic Feet) is approximately what
weight?
A) 10 lbs
B) 20 lbs
C) 30 lbs
D) 47 lbs
E) 60 lbs
Correct Answer: D) 47 lbs
Rationale: This conversion helps relate the volume specified in SCF to the common
measurement unit (pounds) for LPG containers.
Question 8
What are the approximate number of LPG containers (e.g., 20 lbs, 33.5 lbs, 100 lbs) that, when
exceeded, require a permit for storage, use, handling, or transportation?
A) 14.1 oz = 10 cont. / 16.4 oz = 8 cont. / 20 lbs = 1 cont.
B) 14.1 oz = 54 cont. / 16.4 oz = 46 cont. / 20 lbs = 3 cont. / 33.5 lbs = 2 cont. / 40 lbs = 2
cont. / 100 lbs = 1 cont.
C) 14.1 oz = 20 cont. / 16.4 oz = 15 cont. / 20 lbs = 2 cont.
D) 14.1 oz = 100 cont. / 16.4 oz = 50 cont. / 20 lbs = 5 cont.
E) Any single container larger than 16.4 oz.
Correct Answer: B) 14.1 oz = 54 cont. 16.4 oz = 46 cont. 20 lbs = 3 cont. 33.5 lbs = 2
