The fire guard shall stand by until all engines are operating and danger of fire?

• A. Is present
• B. Is not applicable
• C. No longer exists
• D. Continues to exist

Answer: (C)

During engine start, there is a fire hazard from fuel, ignition sources, and hot engine components. The fire guard remains on duty until the danger of fire no longer exists—i.e., after all engines are operating and there are no signs of fire risk such as fuel leaks or abnormal heat. Once that condition is met, the guard can be stood down. The other options would imply there is still a current fire risk or that the condition is irrelevant, which does not reflect the moment when the danger has actually been eliminated.
