Who is in charge of training Fire Wardens and Deputy Fire Wardens?

The responsible party for training Fire Wardens and Deputy Fire Wardens in a building is the Fire Safety Director. The Fire Safety Director is typically appointed by the owner or managing agent of a building and is tasked with ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations, including the implementation and management of training programs for Fire Wardens and Deputy Fire Wardens. This role is crucial in ensuring that all personnel understand their responsibilities in the event of a fire emergency, which helps to ensure the safety of all building occupants.

While the Property Manager may play a role in the operational aspects of the building's safety protocols, they typically do not have the formal responsibility for conducting the training. The New York City Fire Department has regulatory oversight and provides guidance, but they do not conduct the training of wardens directly within a building's management. Tenants, on the other hand, are not in a position to train Fire Wardens or Deputy Fire Wardens, as this requires specialized knowledge and authority.
