Introduction:
The FDNY A-35 Certificate of Fitness examination is designed to assess the
competency of individuals responsible for supervising torch operations and
fire safety practices in construction and industrial environments. Candidates
must demonstrate a strong understanding of fire hazards, prevention
techniques, and emergency response procedures. This assessment ensures
that personnel are equipped to minimize risks associated with open flame
operations and maintain compliance with FDNY safety standards in high-risk
work environments.
Q1. A fire guard supervising torch operations notices sparks landing near
combustible debris that was overlooked during site preparation. What is the
MOST appropriate immediate action?
A. Continue monitoring without interruption
B. Stop work and remove the combustible debris
C. Notify management after the shift ends
D. Ignore since sparks are expected during torch use
Correct Answer: B. Stop work and remove the combustible debris
Explanation: Fire guards must ensure a safe work area free of combustible
materials. Continuing work would increase fire risk. Option A and D neglect
safety responsibilities. Option C delays action, increasing hazard exposure.
,Q2. During torch operations, which of the following fire extinguishers is MOST
appropriate for flammable gas fires?
A. Class A extinguisher
B. Class B extinguisher
C. Class C extinguisher
D. Water extinguisher
Correct Answer: B. Class B extinguisher

after completion. This ensures detection of smoldering fires. Other options
either underestimate or overextend requirements.
Q4. What is the primary purpose of a fire watch during hot work operations?
A. Increase productivity
B. Monitor worker performance
, C. Detect and respond to fires immediately
D. Supervise equipment maintenance
Correct Answer: C. Detect and respond to fires immediately
Explanation: Fire watch personnel are responsible for early fire detection
and suppression. Options A, B, and D are unrelated to fire safety objectives.
Q5. Which condition requires torch operations to be stopped immediately?
A. Slight noise from equipment
B. Presence of flammable vapors
C. Worker fatigue
D. Minor equipment wear
Correct Answer: B. Presence of flammable vapors
Explanation: Flammable vapors significantly increase explosion risk. Torch
use must cease. Other options are less critical or manageable without
immediate shutdown.
Q6. What is the minimum safe distance for combustible materials from torch
operations?
A. 5 feet
B. 10 feet
C. 15 feet
D. 20 feet
