1-Manual pull stations are red. Those in Group "B" buildings and Group "R-1" hotels have a one-inch diagonal white stripe from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. What is the meaning of the white stripe? Why are these white-striped pull stations found in "B" and "R-1" properties? Explain your answer. - >>>>The white stripe indicates that when a manual pull station is activated, the fire alarm signal will be automatically sent to the Fire Alarm Control Panel, the Central Station and the Fire Department. Group "B" and "R-1" properties must have the fire alarm systems monitored by Central Stations; therefore, the fire alarm does not stay "inhouse." Note: The 2008 Fire Code mandated that all buildings with fire alarm systems have central station monitoring, regardless of whether the manual pull stations have the white stripe. 2-A smoke detector is designed to detect smoke and activate a fire alarm. Why must area smoke detectors be located in elevator lobbies? Explain your answer. - >>>>Area smoke detectors must be located in elevator lobbies to activate elevator recall. The elevator lobby area smoke detectors activate because there is smoke in the elevator lobby, hence the proximity of the smoke to the elevators and their occupants is prioritized and the elevators recall to the Ground Floor or lowest terminal landing to protect the elevator occupants and allow them to escape the property. When two smoke detectors are located in elevator lobbies, they must both activate to sound the alarm and recall the elevators. They are known as "cross-over smoke detectors." 3-A "sky lobby" is an upper floor where passengers must transfer from one elevator bank to another to reach the desired floor. In a two-bank building, will there be a blind shaft on the bank that services the higher floors? Yes/No? Explain your answer. - >>>>No. A sky lobby exists when passengers must transfer from one elevator bank to another elevator bank to reach the desired floor. The option of getting in the high-rise bank elevators on the lobby level does not exist. Therefore, the high-rise bank elevators are not express elevators. In the high-rise bank, the space between the second floor and the sky lobby floor consists of office space. 4- The FLS Building Evacuation Supervisor is not required to hold a certificate of fitness FLS Director but must have a certificate of fitness fire guard in the event there is a torch operations job scheduled when the building has 500 people or less. True or false? Explain your answer. - >>>>False. The FLS Building Evacuation Supervisor (FLS BES) is not required to hold a Certificate of Fitness of any category. Because the FLS BES must be available to respond to the Fire Alarm Control Panel when the building has 450 occupants or less and a fire alarm activates, then it is impossible for the FLS BES to oversee torch operations as a Fire Guard, even if the FLS BES did in fact have a Certificate of Fitness Fire Guard F-60
