F-89 Emergency Action Plan (EAPD) / Fire Safety Director (FSD) Practice Exam

Which personnel are considered part of the EAP brigade?

1. The security officer and engineer only.

2. The property manager, director of security, and engineer.

3. The EAPD and all floor supervisors.

4. All building staff during emergencies.

The correct answer is: The property manager, director of security, and engineer.

The correct choice highlights the appropriate personnel who have designated roles within the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) brigade. The inclusion of the property manager, director of security, and engineer reflects the strategic structure of an EAP. Each of these roles is critical in ensuring a coordinated response during an emergency. The property manager typically oversees the functionality of the building and is responsible for emergency planning and communication with external agencies. The director of security brings expertise in maintaining safety and order during emergencies, while the engineer can provide technical knowledge regarding the building’s systems, such as alarms and fire suppression mechanisms. This combination of skills and responsibilities allows for a well-rounded approach to managing emergencies effectively. In contrast, other choices may suggest a narrow or inappropriate selection of personnel that does not encompass the critical roles necessary for an effective emergency response. Having a wider range of trained individuals from different departments ensures a robust and comprehensive emergency action plan, which is essential during high-stress situations when efficient communication and action are vital.
