What is the primary role of the Fire Guard during a system impairment?

The primary role of the Fire Guard during a system impairment is to monitor and mitigate risks associated with the impairment. When fire protection systems are impaired, there is an increased risk of fire incidents, and the Fire Guard is responsible for ensuring that safety measures are actively maintained despite the impairment. This involves closely observing the environment, identifying potential hazards, and taking preventive actions to minimize the risk of fire.

The Fire Guard plays a critical role in implementing alternative fire safety measures, communicating effectively with emergency services if necessary, and ensuring that all occupants are aware of the situation. By overseeing these processes, the Fire Guard helps to protect lives and property during the vulnerability created by the impairment. This proactive approach is essential for maintaining safety when standard fire protection systems are not fully operational.
