New York City Fire Life and Safety Director (FLSD) Practice Test

Manual Pull Stations must be tested semi-annually to ensure they are functioning correctly and can effectively initiate an alarm in case of a fire or other emergency. Regular testing is critical for maintaining the reliability of fire safety systems. This frequency allows for timely identification of any issues or malfunctions that could compromise safety.

Routine testing also helps familiarize staff with the system, ensuring they know how to use it properly. Ensuring that pull stations are operational at all times is vital for emergency preparedness, as they are one of the primary means of alerting others to evacuate the building. This systematic approach to testing enhances the overall safety and effectiveness of a building's fire safety plan.
