48. Exception to fire watch on floors below... (pt2): if sparks or slag generated by the torch operation
are observed to extend beyond 35 feet, thereby potentially exposing lower floors or levels, the torch operation stops -and the floors or levels below shall be inspected for any fire condition -if there are any potential exposure surfaces or materials on the floors below from such sparks and slag, noncombustible barriers shall be provided and any other necessary or appropriate precautions shall be provided and any other necessary or appropriate precautions shall be taken -if such barriers and precautions fail to block the passage of sparks and slag, a fire watch shall be established on the floors or levels below

operation
work -the commissioner or the responsible person implementing a hot work program, may extend the duration of the fire watch based on the hazards or work being performed

removed when the work is completed. If the work extends over several days, the shields shall be removed at the end of each work day
64. Extinguished piped gas: -for piped gas, the gas supply must be shut off first then call 911
-never attempt to extinguish the flame unless the gas supply is shut -when not possible to shut off the gas supply (e.g. the fire is near the control valve or the shut-off valve) and the gas supply is limited (e.g. it is from a cylinder) allow
the flame to burn itself out and call 911 -in meantime, prevent fire spreading to the surrounding materials
