New Fire Safety Director On-Site Tests
Don't become part of the 58%
The new test started September 19, 2011. In this new exam 58% of the candidates are
failing the exam. This compares to 15% which were failing the old test. Prior to taking the
on-site test, the candidate can be the Acting Fire Safety Director. Once the candidate fails
his/her on-site test the person can no longer perform the duties of a Fire Safety Director.
This can cause an unnecessary financial burden to your employer because the employer needs
to replace the FSD. This can lead you to becoming unemployed. NY Fire Safety Institute
recognizes this problem and has started a new on-site test preparation class. This class is
taught by professional fire officers that are fully up to speed on all of the new requirements.
We have a 95% pass rate. For the past three years we were conducting private lessons for
this on-site test which is the most difficult of the three parts needed to obtain the Fire
Safety Director’s Certificate of Fitness. We want you to be part of that 95%. The classes
are held one day a month. The first class is Monday November 21st (9:30 am to 12:00 pm).
The location is the New Yorker Hotel Eighth Avenue and West 34th Street, Suite 1570.
The fee is $175. Go to www.nyfsi.com and look under Courses for more information.
Residential Apartment Safety
Self-Closing Doors
New York City law requires that if your apartment door opens into an enclosed hallway,
stairway or other common passageway, the door must be self-closing. A self-closing door is a
door when opened and released, the door must swing shut and completely close and latch by
itself. Self-closing apartment entrance doors help to prevent the spread of fire. Residents
are prohibited by law from removing or disabling any self-closing apartment entrance door or
permitting such a door to be held open by any device. There are no exceptions to this
requirement.
Floor covering and improperly installed door locks can prevent
the self-closing mechanism from working. Any carpeting that
impedes the self-closing mechanism should be cut away in the
area of the door’s swing. To ensure that your apartment
entrance door closes properly, you should inspect your door
periodically.
Window Guards and Stops
The New York City Health Code requires that every apartment where
children who are ten years old or younger reside, or at the request of a
resident, window guards be installed to ensure children’s safety. Install
window guards and stops (brackets that prevent windows from opening all
the way) on all the windows in your apartment. You should also consider
having window guards installed if young children regularly visit your
apartment, regardless of your family composition.
Fire Escapes
If your apartment has a fire
escape, keep the window leading
to it clear of any objects that
might obstruct exit. Make sure
that the window gates are in
good working condition and that
everyone in your household knows
how to open them. Fire escape
gates should be Fire Department
approved and not the padlock
type.

Fire Safety Logbooks
A new logbook must be started each calendar year
The new Fire Code and the Rules of the City of New York outline the requirements for several
logbooks to be maintained by Building Management. The Bureau of Fire Prevention has set new
guidelines for logbook record keeping. An inspection of the logbooks is performed annually by the New
York City Fire Department Hi-Rise Unit.
Keep up to date log entries of required system inspections and tests, to avoid violations.

HOTEL/MOTEL FIRE SAFETY & EVACUATION PLAN
FDNY FSP Industry Notice # 9 (September 6, 2011)
Ref: RCNY 404.01
The Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan required for hotel/motel occupancies, has been modified
and incorporated into RCNY 404-01. The RCNY became effective January 1, 2011. Key
changes include a building information card (BIC), CAD floor plans and a change in the
standard procedures and language for movement of occupants during a fire emergency.
These changes help address the need for quick situational awareness at an operational level.
They also clarify the term Fire Safety In-Building Relocation Areas (FS IBRA) as well as
standardize the movement of building occupants during fire emergencies.
To date there are over 150 hotel occupancies that haven’t submitted a plan meeting the new
criteria. The Bureau of Fire Prevention will soon begin an enforcement campaign with the
goal of increased life safety through code compliance.

Clean, Safe and Effective Fire Extinguisher Training
NY Fire Safety Institute has the first digital fire
extinguisher training system that is recognized by New
York State. This is cutting edge technology that will
change the way fire extinguisher training is presented to
the general population. This new digital technology
provides realistic hands-on extinguisher training using
advanced laser technology. The LED-driven digital flames
sense where the trainee sweeps the BullsEye extinguisher
and automatically varies the digital flames’ response.
It is a good feeling to know that people recognize the
essential need for this training and is doing something
about it. ”Fire Safety through Education” is our
motto. The time to decide what to do is not when a
fire happens; it is long before it starts. This company
has taken steps to ensure all who live and work in
these buildings are in the safest possible environment.
We hope to be hearing from some of the other
players in the industry, as fire is the only thing in the
world that does not discriminate. It will
strike anywhere at any time. Be Fire Safe! Be Smart!
OSHA requires that if you have portable fire extinguishers in your work place and employees
are expected to use them, then they must receive annual hands-on Fire Extinguisher Training.
This training will save lives. If you are interested please contact us at 212-239-9051 or by
email. To watch the video on the BullsEyeTM Digital Fire Extinguisher Training System go to:

Home Fires Prompt Dehumidifier Recall Reannouncement from LG Electronics
More Than One Million Dollars in Property Damage Linked to Goldstar and Comfort-Aire
Dehumidifiers
WASHINGTON, D.C. - LG Electronics Tianjin Appliance Co., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), is urging consumers to check if they have recalled Goldstar or Comfort-Aire dehumidifiers. The
firm is re-announcing the recall of about 98,000 of the dangerous dehumidifiers that pose a serious fire and burn
hazard, and are believed to be responsible for more than one million dollars in property damage.
The power connector for the dehumidifier’s compressor can short circuit, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers
and their property.
The dehumidifiers were first recalled in December 2009 following eleven incidents, including four significant fires.
Since that time, the company has received sixteen additional incident reports of arcing, smoke and fire associated with
the dehumidifiers, including nine significant fires. No injuries have been reported. Fires are reported to have caused
more than $1 million in property damage
Because of the severity of the risks, CPSC and LG Electronics are concerned with the lack of consumer response to
the recall. Only two percent of the 98,000 consumers who purchased these units have received a free repair, which
means that consumers and their property remain at serious risk.
Anyone who has the recalled dehumidifiers is strongly encouraged to immediately stop using them, unplug them, and
contact LG Electronics for the free repair.
The recall involves the 30 pint portable dehumidifiers sold under the Goldstar and Comfort-Aire brands. The
dehumidifiers are white with a red shut-off button, controls for fan speed and humidity control, and a front-loading
water bucket. “Goldstar” or “Comfort-Aire” is printed on the front. Model and serial number ranges included in this
recall are listed in the table below. The model and serial numbers are located on the interior of the dehumidifier, and
can be seen when the water bucket is removed.

The recalled dehumidifiers were sold at The Home Depot, Walmart, Ace Hardware, Do It Best, Orgill Inc., and other
retailers nationwide from January 2007 through June 2008 for between $140 and $150. They were manufactured in
China.
For additional information about the recall and for the location of an authorized service center for the repair, contact LG
toll free at (877) 220-0479 between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, and between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. CT
