Public Comment No. 5-NFPA 414-2015 [ Section No. 4.19.4.2 ]

4.19.4.2

Where a power-assisted turret is specified, the following shall apply:

(1) Controls shall be in the cab.

(2) An indicator of turret elevation and azimuth shall be provided.

(3) Where specified, a manual override or secondary parallel controls powered by an alternative sourceof all roof turret movement functions shall be provided in the cab.

(4) The secondary, parallel controls shall be capable of operating the turret with a failed primary controlsystem.

(5) The manual override operation force shall be less than 133.4 N (30 lbf).


When reviewing the changes to 4.19.4.2 from the First Draft, it was noticed that item (3) had roof in the requirement. The sub committee thought that this requirement could and should be for all turrets on the vehicle, not specifically the roof.

This comment is being submitted on behalf of the Chapter 4 (14-26) Sub Committee.

4.19.6.10

The nozzle system shall be constructed to direct or spray agent and water on both sides of the aircraft atthe same time after the penetration is made. [Concept delivery shall be multiple holes causing a spray thatcovers an area of at least 7.6 m (25 ft) along the length of the fuselage left and right of the penetrationpoint.]


When the sub committee team was reviewing this section, we noticed that 4.19.6.8 had been changed by the NFPA. Originally there were two requirements listed for this (NFPA 414-2012). It looks to be that the requirement was broken into two separate ones (per guidelines, created 4.19.6.8 and 4.19.6.9), but the original one was still in the document as 4.19.6.10. We propose to remove 4.19.6.10 from the document.

This is being submitted on behalf of the Chapter 4 (14-26) sub committee.

3.3.28.4 Synthetic Foams

This foam contains primarily petroleum products - alkylsulphates, alkylsulphanates, alkylarylsulphanates,etc. Synthetic foam forming substances also include stabilizers, anti-corrosives, and components to controlviscosity, freezing temperature and bacteriological decomposition. Concentrates of different types or fromdifferent manufacturers should not be mixed in order to obtain an extinguishing foam; however, syntheticfoams from different pieces of equipment are compatible and can be used one after the other orsimultaneously to extinguish a fire. The degree of compatibility between synthetic foams and dry (powder)chemical substances should be determined prior to their intended use.

Fluorine and organohalogen free foams complying with Level A, B and C requirements may be availableunder the heading of synthetic foams. These particular products are less long term damaging to theenvironment and are stable against polar and non-polar hydrocarbons. Fluorine and organohalogen freefirefighting foams are pseudo plastic materials containing surface active agents, polymer film formers,co-surfactants, stabilisers and anti-freeze compounds. Polymer film formers prevent the destruction offinished foam. These products can be used in concentrations up to 6%, with foam compatible dry powdersand with aspirating and non-aspirating equipment.


We believe with the expanded use of Synthetic Foams, especially outside of the US, we should provide a definition of Synthetic Foam as well as providing annex material.

Public Comment No. 14-NFPA 414-2015 [ Section No. D.1 [Excluding any Sub-Sections]

]

The driver's enhanced vision system (DEVS) aids the three difficult aspects of poor visibility response:navigating to the accident site, locating the accident, and negotiating terrain and obstacles on the way to theaccident site. DEVS is an integrated system consisting of three systems: navigation, tracking, andlow-visibility enhanced vision. DEVS can be implemented as a stand-alone system on an ARFF vehicle withno tracking/communication capability or as a fully integrated system with an emergency command center(ECC). The three DEVS system components are as follows:

(1) Navigation. The navigation system provides the ARFF vehicle driver with the vehicle's location andserves as an aid in navigating to the accident site.

(2) Tracking. The tracking system can be tightly integrated with the navigation system through data link.Tracking capability serves as an aid to the ARFF vehicle driver in locating and navigating to theaccident site. This capability will reduce driver communications workload and improve the situationalawareness of the driver and , command or dispatch and dispatch personnel.

(3) Low-Visibility Enhanced Vision. The low-visibility enhanced vision system uses a forward-lookinginfrared (FLIR) device or other comparable state-of-the-art low-visibility enhanced vision technology.Low-visibility enhanced vision capability will improve visual awareness in smoky, foggy, or darkenvironments by sensing thermal radiation instead of visible light.


Clarification of the wording in this Annex D subsection.

Public Comment No. 15-NFPA 414-2015 [ Section No. D.1.1 ]

D.1.1 Installation and Operation.

Operation of the DEVS should not increase driver workload or require additional personnel for operationduring emergency response. Installation should not obstruct driver view or hamper any other ARFF vehiclesystem. The system should be installed without extensive vehicle modification and should include sufficientfiltering to protect itself from vehicle voltage spikes and surges. Vehicle-mounted DEVS equipment shouldinclude a dedicated power source that should enable uninterrupted operation of the navigation system forminimally 4 hours 1 hour without any external power source (i.e., external vehicle shore connection toconditioner/charger or vehicle alternator power). Recommended voltage range for DEVS equipment inARFF vehicles is 10 to 12 V dc (volts direct current). In addition, exposed equipment should be able tooperate within the same conditions (weather, chemical, and otherwise) as that of the ARFF vehicle. AllDEVS components should be installed facilitating removal for repair, replacement, and troubleshooting.


This change is consistent with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5210-19A (dated June 12, 2009) - DEVS, section 6.b Power Requirements: "DEVS power requirements must allow operation from the vehicle battery power bus for a minimum of 1 hour without adversely affecting other systems."

The navigation system should be able to compute a vehicle position solution accurate to 2 .6 m (6.6 2 ft).Vehicle position updates should be provided once at least 10 times per second and displayed on themoving map display. Vehicle position should be immediately provided upon vehicle start-up. The systemshould be able to withstand vehicle shock and vibration. The system should provide an integrity requirementto insure that it is either working properly or down altogether, allowing no possibility of wrong/misleadinginformation.


This is the same change that was submitted during the First Draft comment period, under Public Input No. 67. This GPS input dramatically improves the performance and safety logic (incursion management, route accuracy & speed notification) of DEVS, and is now a standard in DEVS from the FAA's perspective. A brief review of GPS product manuals appears to show that this change does not favor a particular proprietary product. Note: This change would be more restrictive than that listed in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5210-19A (date June 12, 2009) - DEVS, section 16 Overall Requirements: "Vehicle position updates via GPS must be at least once per second."

D.2.1 Navigation Device.

The DEVS global positioning system (GPS) receiver should accept differential correction messages from analways available and reliable source with accuracy within 2 .6 m (6.6 2 ft) and use these messages tocompute a differentially corrected GPS position solution once at least 10 times per second. It also shouldachieve time to first fix (TTFF) of 30 seconds and should interface with the navigation computer. Theantenna should be weatherproof and mounted high and as close to the center of the vehicle as practicalwith a clear view of the sky.

The tracking system is accomplished by two-way wireless communication between the DEVS installed inthe ARFF vehicle and the DEVS ECC. The tracking system should derive vehicle position data from thenavigation system. The tracking system should be able to report the vehicle position to, and exchangemessages with, the ECC within 30 seconds and have the capability to do so continuously (24 hours perday, 7 days per week). It should be able to track minimally 10 vehicles simultaneously with 1-secondupdates and be able to track any number of vehicles simultaneously with a maximum update time of 5seconds. The tracking system should be automatically initialized upon start-up, require minimal operatorintervention, and be able to withstand vehicle shock and vibration.


This public comment serves as notice that the Annex D subcommittee no longer supports the comment submitted during the First Draft comment period under Public Input No. 66. Thus I rescind the comment that was submitted, and recommend no changes to this subsection.

The United States National Grid is a standard area and point grid reference system that quickly enablesmulti-discipline and multi-jurisdictional emergency service agencies to precisely locate incidents anduniversally communicate locations using paper maps and/or electronic applications. It is based upon thewidely used Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Coordinate system developed in 1947 and the MilitaryGrid Reference System (MGRS) used by all NATO forces and the National Guard, since 1949. It becamethe national standard (FGDC-STD-011-2001) for civilian purposes in 2001. It was designated as the landsearch & rescue standard coordinate system in 2011, by the National Search & Rescue Commitee; a groupof federal agencies.

US National Grid is the national standard coordinate system of the USA. It is designed for ground based operations and is functionally equivalent to US military's and NATO's Military Grid Reference System. It is the land search & rescue standard per the National Search & Rescue Committee since 2011. Many after action reports for wide area events cite a need for a common grid system. The use of a grid on a map to make it a tool is not disputed as a grid concept is referenced in 4.5.2. However the type of grid is undefined. Crash maps showing atlas grid of A-Z, 1-99, are not interoperable. Coordinate B,27 cannot be displayed on a GPS or web application. Additionally, responders to B, 27 must have that specific map where B.27 is displayed. In contrast, and with valued-added, US National Grid can be on the local maps made & issued by the airport to surrounding jurisdictions. However, if that map was not in the hand of a responder, or if an incident was beyond the map's margins, all could use their own tools of GPS, computer aided dispatch, mobile data terminal, smart phone or web tool to display the grid and navigate accordingly. On 12/8/14, there was a crash in Maryland. The geo-location by US National Grid was: 18T UJ 116 390 on Drop Forge Lane, Gaithersburg. Those 11 characters are the worldwide coordinate to 100 meter square. For local operations, the reference could have been just 116 390, just six(6) digits. Regionally (state) the reference could have been UJ 116 390.

Aircraft accidents can occur during temperature extremes. These conditions can seriously aggravate thecondition of persons trapped within an aircraft wreckage for an extended period. During this time it isextremely important to maintain the critical body temperature and vital functions of trapped victims. Tarps,blankets, portable lights, fans, oxygen units, and portable temperature control units (heating and cooling)should be immediately available at an accident site. Portable heating and cooking and cooling units shouldbe designed or located so as not to be an ignition hazard.

11.4.5* Boom Mounted Turrets & Penetrating Nozzles

Boom-mounted turrets and penetrating nozzles can be used to discharge extinguishing agents inside theaircraft. Boom-mounted penetrating nozzles can easily knock cabin/fuselage windows of the aircraft inwardallowing access for interior agent application. Boom mounted penetrating nozzles should not be used topenetrate forward facing cockpit windows. Boom-mounted turrets can also be extended and orientedthrough open doors to discharge agent into the interior of the fuselage. Boom-mounted penetrating nozzlesshould pierce the aircraft fuselage approximately 12" above windows for effective interior fire suppressionby penetrating below overhead baggage storage compartments. Boom mounted penetrating nozzles haveproven themselves effective at penetrating the fuselage below the cabin floor level and baggagecompartments to extinguish fire burning in concealed spaces. Boom-mounted penetrating nozzles shouldbe deployed rapidly when arriving on scene if any evidence of an interior fire exists before the aircraft isknown to be completely evacuated.


Priority should be given to immediate use of boom-mounted turrets and penetrating nozzles for interior fire suppression. This was demonstrated by the recent Asiana 214 aircraft accient at SFO. This is a recommendation in the NTSB accident report.

403-12Foams should be classified by their performance and not by their composition names. For example

foams meeting performance standard XX …. Rather than AFFF or fluorine free.To use current chemical based names for foams hinders future developments. The key criteria is that

they should do the job, so use that as the criteria and not their composition.

1. The ICAO standard which includes Level C, has not been formally published.2. Large scale fire test data (e.g. 1000 sq foot or greater) has not been provided.3. Unclear whether fluorine free foam can be used with non-air aspirating nozzles (AFFF performance assumes this).4. ICAO Level C small scale tests uses kerosene. The Mil spec used for AFFF performance uses gasoline.5. There is potential conflict between UL 162 and the ICAO Level C test performance.Retain proposal as published in the ROP.

New headers and numbers for the three columns based on the revised numbers published by the ICAO and the EASAand the performance of the current US Mil specification. Below I am providing the numbers for the new first column inmetric and I am prepared to produce the equivalent table in US if the proposal is retained. First columnNote: New numbers based on ICAO level C and MIL spec testing application rates

Second column

Third column

The current table 5.3.1 Q1 and Q2 numbers of the first column are based on lesser (mediumperformance level) application rates ICAO level B of 5.5 LPM per M2. The numbers have never been adjusted followingthe evolution of agents to higher performance requirements such as ICAO level C and Mil F and appropriate testapplication densities.Safety considerations:The safety factor margins have been retained in the ICAO numbers to a level equivalent to what it was in the 3 existinglevels. As an example the test application rate of the ICAO level C is of 1.75 LPM per M2 for a calculated operationalrequirement of 3.75 LPM per M2.

Trade issues in support of identifying concentrates by performance levels:Applying a type of agent such as an AFFF or FFFP to a column just by name may constitute a trade restriction. As ahypothetical example, a newly developed super protein foam could outperform some of the lesser performing AFFF.

This Public Input appeared as a "Reject but Hold" in Public Comment No. 403-8 of the A2013 Second Draft Report for NFPA 403 and per the Regs at 4.4.8.3.1.

Substantiation: The current table 5.3.1 Q1 and Q2 numbers of the first column are based on lesser (medium performance level) application rates ICAO level B of 5.5 LPM per M2. The numbers have never been adjusted following the evolution of agents to higher performance requirements such as ICAO level C and Mil F and appropriate test application densities.Safety considerations:The safety factor margins have been retained in the ICAO numbers to a level equivalent to what it was in the 3 existinglevels. As an example the test application rate of the ICAO level C is of 1.75 LPM per M2 for a calculated operationalrequirement of 3.75 LPM per M2.Trade issues in support of identifying concentrates by performance levels:Applying a type of agent such as an AFFF or FFFP to a column just by name may constitute a trade restriction. As ahypothetical example, a newly developed super protein foam could outperform some of the lesser performing AFFF.

3.3.11.x Decontamination Area. An area where hazardous materials are present, personnel and/orequipment are contaminated and require cleaning. The decontamination area is divided into threezones, a Hot Zone, a Warm Zone (Buffer Zone), and a Cold Zone.

3.3.11.x.1 Hot Zone. Site of the hazardous material and/or contaminated patients. PPE must be worn byresponders in this area and gross decontamination is performed.

3.3.11.x.2 Warm Zone (Buffer Zone). Area where patients are moved to following gross decontamination.PPE must be worn by responders and further decontamination is performed. Patients have clean clothingput on and then are transferred to a clean litter (stretcher) for movement to the Cold Zone.

3.3.11.x.3 Cold Zone. Area where decontaminated patients are examined, are triaged and receivemedical attention if appropriate. Patients are moved from the Cold Zone to the appropriate MedicalTransportation Area.


Many aircraft accidents will involve hazardous materials releases (fuels, airborne composite materials, etc.) and patients will require decontamination. Recognizing the decontamination process and the areas of decontamination should be included within NFPA 424. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=how+do+i+set+up+a+decontamination+area&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CD4QFjAA&utl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.acep.org%2FWorkArea%2FDownloadAsset.aspx%3Fid%3Fid%3D45249&ei=3-rmUOaPMYXm8QSA5oHYAQ&usg=AFQJCNH3Mb7GSgOtJUDCVCNN8PR6HivFJw&bvm=bv.1355534169.d.eWU

3.3.11.4 Medical Transportation Area.

That portion of the triage area where injured persons are staged for transportation to medical facilitiesunder the direct supervision of a medical transportation officer.

3.3.11.5 Staging Area.

A prearranged, strategically placed area, where support response personnel, vehicles, and other equipmentcan be held in an organized state of readiness for use during an emergency.

3.3.11.2 Collection Area. Location where the injured are taken to where they are further segregated intofour areas within the medical transportation area. The four areas being: immediate care, delayed care,minor care (holding area) and morgue.

3.3.11.3 Holding Area (Minor Care). Location where the apparentlyuninjured and/or minor injuredpersonnel are taken.

3.3.11.6 Immediate Care Area. Location where the injured with life threatening or severe injuries aretaken.

3.3.11.7 Delayed Care Area. Location where the injured with serious injuries are taken.

3.3.11.8 Morgue Area. Area where deceased are taken.


The layout of triage areas is instructed in Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) programs and it may be used during emergency response. The use of this technique should be recorded and recognized within the NFPA 424. Also, remove the term "aircraft occupants" from 3.3.11.3 because there may be victims who work on the ground or responders. http://www.cert-la.com/manuals/CERT_PM_Unit4_Jan2011.pdf (see pages 9 & 12).

Also,clarify whether a grid system based on irregular polygons based on section line geometry in thePublic Land Survey System (PLSS) is acceptable. Some counties have adopted fire grids based onthe irregularly shaped PLSS geometry.


to minimize confusion on what is deemed an acceptable grid geometry for use as an airport grid map, as there appear different implementations.

4.3 Essential Elements of the AEP.

The following elements should be considered essential to the AEP:

(1) Establishment of formal instruments/agreements/joint powers, and so forth, to initiate developmentand implementation of the AEP

(2) Detailed planning for 24-hour response, communications, accountability, logistics, and so forth

(3) Agreement for incident command and control systems and procedures (All agencies involved in theAEP should be aware of each other’s defined duties.)

(4) Funding for practice exercises

(5) Regular and “as needed” AEP updates

(6) Public relations efforts that bring popular and political support to maintaining readiness

(7) An emergency notification system or alarm system which has a distinctive signal for each emergencysituation as determined via a preliminary hazard assessment (PHA) and be in compliance with therequirements of 29 CFR 1910.165 at a minimum.


The ability to signal an emergency to responders and airport staff so they are aware of what the anticipated emergency is and what actions they should take is of paramount importance to responding in a organized manner to an aviation accident. The necessity for an alarm system should be included within NFPA 424.

5.1.1.1 Memorandums of agreements (MOAs) should be created with all organizations, andagencies that will be involved in responding to an emergency situation. The agreements must be inwriting, reviewed annually or upon a change in operations that could affect existing emergencyresponse plans and updated as necessary. The emergency response plan will be compatible andintegrated with the disaster, fire, and/or emergency response plans of local, State, and Federalagencies.


MOAs are required by many agencies prior to being able to respond to an emergency situation. This requiremetn should be recognized and included within NFPA 424.

(1) Air Traffic Control (ATC) services

(2) ARFF services (departments)

(3) Agency tasked for personnel decontamination and HAZMAT response

(4) Police/security services

(5) Airport operator

(6) Emergency medical services, including ambulance services and hospital coordination center

(7) Hospitals

9.1.10 Explosives. Some aircraft have explosive charges on board. Typical uses include fireextinguisher squib charges for activation of onboard fire extinguishing systems and canopyjettison charges. Depending on the nature of the aircraft accident, these may need to beneutralized by Explosives Ordinance Disposal (EOD) experts. "It should be mandatory to establishin advance an accurate list of EOD agencies available to respond. Details should include the hoursof availability the number of EOD personnel available, and response time."


The possibility of explosives materials exists during the response to an aviation accident. The necessity for safely and effectively handling these devices should be recognized and included within NFPA 424.

13.6.2

Triage is the sorting and classification of casualties to determine the order of priority for treatment andtransportation, which is shown in Figure 13.6.2. Triage tags and treatment area tarps should be color codedto identify the severity of injury to victims. Casualties should be classified into the following four categories:

(1) Priority I, immediate care (RED)

(2) Priority II, delayed care (YELLOW)

(3) Priority III, minor care (GREEN)

(4) Priority 0, deceased (BLACK)

Figure 13.6.2 Triage and Medical Care at Aircraft Accident Site.

Figure 13.6.2 is lacking mention of a aeromedical evacuation area. Depending upon the situation,aeromedical evacuation may be the quickest and most effective means to get critically injured to a traumacenter. Recommend you include the consideration of where to locate a hasty landing zone (LZ) for helicopter(air ambulance) evacuation of critically injured.


Aircraft accidents will usually receive a great deal of attention from media and public resulting in the roads around the airport to be congested. The need for an aeromedical evacuation area and how to set one up (e.g., electrical landing lights may be damaged at the airport so expedient landing area illumination) should be included wtihin NFPA 424.
