ADN/001ADN/001 ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIVITIESADMINISTRATIVE ACTIVITIES

Administrative activities of the suppression division should be concurrent with the procedures and policies outlined in each section of this manual. These will include, but not be limited to, personnel management, minimum staffing, emergency operations, public education, personnel training, fire prevention programs such as building inspections and surveys, target hazard identification, hydrant inspection, kid safe, and the smoke detector program.

ADN/002ADN/002 LATE FOR DUTYLATE FOR DUTY

The immediate officer in charge will notify their District Officer or Deputy Chief of Operations at 0700 hours when a employee that is scheduled to be on duty has not reported for duty at 0700 hours. If minimum staffing requirements cannot be met (Suppression/non emergency ADN-003), the district officer will determine if the apparatus is to be placed out of service or authorize someone from the previous shift to hold over until relieved by an on-duty replacement or the late employee arrives. When the employee does report for duty, the officer will notify their District Officer or Deputy Chief of Operations immediately. The action to be taken when an incumbent employee is late for duty during any twelve-month period is

1st Occurrence Counseling by immediate officer 2nd Occurrence Verbal reprimand by District Officer 3rd Occurrence Written reprimand by District Officer 4th Occurrence Time off LWOP 5th Occurrence Suspension or termination as deemed by the Fire Chief

The Deputy Chief of Operations must approve any deviation from the above procedure. The factors to be considered in making this decision are the:

Seriousness of the offense Employee’s past history with the Department

Consistency is critical to any disciplinary system. Although disciplinary actions for the same offense should be similar, the final decision to determine the exact action will be made after considering the factors previously listed, and applying them to the particular situation.

When an employee is late for duty, the amount of time they are late will be deducted from their FLSA overtime and not from their regularly scheduled base pay. (See Administration ADN/001 for procedures)

The actions listed above do not include AWOL, this is a different violation of policy and will be dealt with on an individual basis.

When an employee is absent from their duty station without permission for one hour or more and has not made contact with their immediate officer in charge or other appropriate authority, they will be considered AWOL and charged with LWOP on the current FLSA cycle.

This is the minimum action to be taken. More severe action may be warranted for an accumulated tardiness problem extending beyond the twelve-month period or circumstances pertaining to each individual case.

The action to be taken when a probationary employee is late for duty during their probationary period is: 1st Occurrence Verbal reprimand by District Officer 2nd Occurrence Written reprimand by District Officer 3rd Occurrence One shift off LWOP or termination 4th Occurrence Possible termination or appropriate action as deemed necessary by the Chief

BOOK: Operations I SECTION: Suppression Non-Emergency Pg BOOK: Operations I SECTION: Suppression Non-Emergency Pg 33 of of 3232The District Officer shall have the authority to adjust assignments in the district to maintain minimum staffing levels within the district.

ADN/003ADN/003 STAFFING POLICYSTAFFING POLICY - continued

District Hold GuidelinesAll districts are required to provide one hold person above minimum staffing for unexpected daily absences. Unexpected daily absences include sickness, sickness-in-family, death-in-family, and other absences that may arise on a daily basis.

Each District Officer will schedule hold stations at least six (6) months in advance. Changes within their district may be made as requested by the Station Officer with the approval of the District Officer. Hold stations should be rotated in the district to not burden any one station with restricted days for extended periods.

Hold persons may be used for department schools, training exercises, meetings and bona-fide Union business as approved by the deputy Chief of Operations. Hold persons used for these reasons will be subject to being recalled and must be able to return to their worksite within thirty (30) minutes of notification.

Scheduling of LeaveEmployees that have properly scheduled and approved leave shall not have their leave cancelled. During times of large scale emergencies and disasters the Fire Chief may cancel leave, restrict the approval of leave, or call back off duty personnel when necessary as per Article 19.3 of the current CBA. It is understood that large scale emergencies and disasters may only cause temporary disruptions in scheduling of leave, and that the Union and city will consult together during those times for the most efficient manpower utilization and productivity per section 1.2 of the CBA. Leave time will be scheduled and approved at the station/district level according to the terms of this policy.

1. Leave time shall be administered by the Station Officer at each individual station within minimum staffing requirements. Employees shall be required to complete a Leave Request on-line, print the request, and submit the request to their Station Officer.

2. The minimum amount of time that can be approved off is 6 hours.3. Once a lesser amount of time has been approved, an employee requesting a greater amount of time cannot

override it.4. The Station Officer will approve leave up to 61 shifts in advance at the station level. The Station Officer

will approve the leave and enter the employee’s time in the Leave Management Data Base. The Leave Request will provide a time stamp for the requested date. Leave requests may not be submitted prior to 0700, 61 shifts from the requested date. Any Leave Request submitted prior to 0700, 61 shifts from the requested date, will be considered invalid.

5. If staffing is not available at the station level, a leave request will be filled out on the computer and entered into the database. Once the request is submitted into the database, it will automatically be electronically time stamped. It is understood that the leave request form is not a guarantee that an employee’s time off will be granted.

6. Leave requests shall be held and administered by the Station Officer until 9 shifts from the time requested off. After 0700 hrs nine (9) shifts prior to the requested time off, any staffing that is available within the district, shall immediately be used to fill any remaining leave requests, based on the time stamp, from within the district. After 0700 hrs six (6) shifts prior to the requested time off, any staffing that is available within the city, shall immediately be used to fill any remaining leave requests, based on the valid time stamp.

7. For extraordinary circumstances, the Deputy Chief of Operations (or designee) may approve leave time up to twelve (12) months in advance.

8. Personnel taking a portion of a shift off shall return to the station no later than 2300 hrs.9. The Station Officer will manage holidays recognized by the collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA),

Article 16.610. Employees with scheduled and approved leave shall not have their leave cancelled in the event of a

transfer. Transfers occurring on the same shift: all policy provision herein shall apply to ensure their scheduled time off. In the event employees are transferred to another shift, the original time frame including all duty and non-duty days shall be honored. Any duty days falling within that time frame on the employee’s new shift shall be considered scheduled and approved leave.

11. Employees who choose not to take scheduled and approved leave, will be charged for his/her leave time unless notification is made to their Station Officer, District Officer, and the DAA by 0800 hours of the


UPDATED 8/30/13

BOOK: Operations I SECTION: Suppression Non-Emergency Pg BOOK: Operations I SECTION: Suppression Non-Emergency Pg 44 of of 3232shift prior to the scheduled leave. Upon notification, the District Officer will ensure that the available staffing is used to fill any pending leave requests.

ADN/003ADN/003 STAFFING POLICYSTAFFING POLICY - continued

In order to ensure personnel are allowed to use their scheduled and approved leave when unscheduled or unanticipated long term leave situations would otherwise result in staffing levels being reduced below minimum requirements, the Deputy Chief of Operations (or designee) may use any of the options listed below:a. Allow the use of the district hold person within the district in question.b. Approve the use of the hold person from other districts if available, within six (6) shifts of the date in question.c. Cancel or reschedule training and the person(s) scheduled to attend the training can be reassigned to maintain

minimum staffing levels.d. Temporarily re-assign Community Service Liaison (s) (CSL)e. Temporarily re-assign a firefighter from BP27 and/or BP28.f. Employees with scheduled and approved leave will be offered their regular hourly pay rate, according to the

CBA, in addition to their regular pay to report to duty on a scheduled leave day. This additional pay will be for the amount and type of leave scheduled. Employees with approved leave for the day in question will be offered the additional pay first and in ascending order by initial entry time stamp until minimum staffing levels are met. Employees that opt to report for duty on a scheduled leave day will have the amount of leave scheduled deducted from their accrued vacation or holiday leave.

After considering and/or using the options above, if minimum staffing levels are not met the Fire Chief (or designee) will exercise the following option:

Call-Back ProcedureCall-back will be used under the following guidelines to maintain minimum staffing levels in suppression. Call-back for the purpose of maintaining minimum staffing is not considered an emergency situation. Emergency situations are addressed by Article 19.3 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and are authorized by the Fire Chief or his/her designee.

1. Call back shall be a voluntary program for FLSA 7 (k) 24hr operations personnel only who have completed the probationary period. All eligible personnel will be added to the call back list after completing the recruit probationary period. Employees will be placed on the call-back list in order of their seniority on the department. Employees with the same hire date will be added to the list in alphabetical order. Call back shall always start at the top of the list working downward according to the terms of this procedure. Employees called back shall be assigned to work at a location as determined by the Deputy Chief of Operations or their designee. Reasonable efforts should be made to assign personnel where they can function within their rank/classification.

2. Employees working call back shall receive 1 1/2 times their regular hourly rate of pay as per Article 19.1 of the current CBA for all call back hours worked. Time will commence when the employee arrives at the call-back assignment and end when the employee leaves the work site.

3. Employees must work their last scheduled shift or be off on approved leave (due day, comp time, vacation leave or holiday leave) prior to being called back. Employees on sick leave, injury leave, or any other administrative leave including FMLA, will not be eligible for call back until they have been released to return to regular duty, but shall retain their position on the call back list.

4. Employees rejecting call back will move to the bottom of the call back list. If the employee accepts call back, their name will be moved to the bottom of the call back list.

5. Employees must provide a contact phone number. Failure to reach an employee at the provided numbers will be considered a rejection of the call back. Employees are not allowed to work callback on their regularly scheduled duty day. If an employee is next up to be called, and the call-back falls on his/her assigned duty day, the employee shall be passed over yet retain their position on the call back list. Should a complete rotation of the call back list not result in the attainment of required staffing levels, subsequent notification shall require mandatory participation, and will start with the least senior employees on the call back list. Exceptions to mandatory overtime will be allowed in instances where the employee is unable to report to duty in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 6. Employees shall be informed of the estimated call back period when offered call back.

6. An employee being called back must be able to report to duty in less than 1 1/2 hours or reject the call back. Employees accepting a call-back offer will be compensated for not less than (4) four hours and must


UPDATED 8/30/13

UPDATED 7/1/13

BOOK: Operations I SECTION: Suppression Non-Emergency Pg BOOK: Operations I SECTION: Suppression Non-Emergency Pg 55 of of 3232be available for the full call back period. In the event that a call back employee is unable to work the full call back period due to sickness, injury or other emergency he/she will be paid for the call back hours worked. Failure to report after acceptance of a call back assignment within the allotted time shall result in an employee being subject to Suppression Non-Emergency ADN/002, Late for Duty.

ADN/003ADN/003 STAFFING POLICYSTAFFING POLICY - continued7. At no time will employees be allowed to work more than three consecutive shifts seventy-two (72) hours.

In situations where the employee would be required to work more than seventy-two (72) consecutive hours, the employee will be ineligible for the call back, but will retain their position on the call back list.

8. Employees accepting call back must physically report to duty. Duty exchanges for straight time call back (earned leave buy back for normal duty days) or off duty call back (at time-and-one-half) under the terms of this Call Back Procedure shall not be allowed.

ADN/004 ADN/004 APPARATUS OUT OF SERVICEAPPARATUS OUT OF SERVICEThe Deputy Chief of Operations must approve any apparatus being put out of service because of staffing shortage except for short term emergencies.

ADN/005 ADN/005 COMPANY RELIEFCOMPANY RELIEF

When a Company leaves the station to relieve another company at an emergency scene at shift changing time, the Company Officer will log their time leaving the station in the station log book. When the company that was relieved returns to the station, the officer will log their time in upon arrival at the station.

ADN/006ADN/006 RELIEF DRIVERS POLICYRELIEF DRIVERS POLICYEmployees with less than one (1) year seniority will not drive any fire apparatus, except a District Officer’s car, unless approved by the Deputy Chief of Operations.

An employee with over one year seniority and with less than two (2) years seniority will not drive any fire apparatus, except a District Officer’s car, until they have satisfied one of two requirements.1. They must have successfully completed the Apparatus Operators Academy at the

Fire Training Division; or2. They must be checked out, on the Training Division’s check list, by their

Company Officer and certified to the Training Division on each piece of apparatus that they may drive. The employee must attend the AOA at the Training Division when scheduled to do so even if they have been certified by their Company Officer.An employee with less than two years service will not drive on a regular rotation basis. They may drive after completing one of the two requirements, only on an as needed basis.

An employee in this category will not drive if any other firefighter is on duty at that station that has over two years of service and has been to the AOA. All employees that have over two years service and have successfully completed the AOA will rotate relief driving on a regular schedule, unless they do not want to relief drive, or unless documentation has been presented to the Deputy Chief of Operations, and it is determined that it would be in the best interest of the Department that this individual not be allowed to relief drive.

All personnel driving any Oklahoma City Fire Department equipment must possess a valid Oklahoma State driver’s license. Each individual’s driver license will be subject to a validity check semiannually.

Seniority is based on the date of last employment with the Oklahoma City Fire Department.

There should be flexibility to allow Code 1 driving and to encourage station school on driving in protected area for those employees with more than one year of service but have not been certified by their company officer, or who have not completed AOA.

Consumables, are those products delivered by a vendor.

Non-consumables, are those products made available by the Operations Warehouse.

The District Coordinator is responsible for ordering and managing the distribution of supplies to the stations.

CONSUMABLESCONSUMABLESSupplies will be delivered on “A” shift days, every quarter and once yearly, according to the following schedule:

ADN/013ADN/013 EMS SUPPLY PROCEDURESEMS SUPPLY PROCEDURESThe Monthly Rig/Station Inventory form will be completed on the last day of the month. The inventory and ordering of the EMS supplies will be done by the Blue shift for the calendar year.

This will ensure the ordering and organization of the EMS supplies and inventory is consistent. The Operations Warehouse will deliver supplies on a Blue shift day. The completed Monthly Rig/Station form will be given to the Station Officer. The designated shift will attach the completed Monthly Inventory Form and the Drug and Fluid Inventory Form (hard copy) to the OCFD EMS Supplies and Equipment Order Form and submit both forms to their District Officer by the 1st of the month. This is to ensure there are no expired items in the kits or that the current supply minimums are in the kit to function on all medical calls.

As a suggestion, on the door of the EMS cabinets, all shifts should keep a log of items used on medical calls that were not traded out by EMSA and other items that are found during the month that have expired. Please keep in mind it is the Station’s responsibility, all three shifts, to make sure all minimums and/or maximums on supply items are current and all expired items are removed.

When ordering supplies, these things should be considered: Expiration dates (if supplies are going to expire the next month)

Amount in stock (so items will not be over ordered)

Amount of a particular item used (to track station usage trends and make sure enough of that item is ordered)

Number of items traded out by EMSA (to ensure the new expiration dates are recorded)

Window orders will no longer be accepted if supplies run low without prior approval from the Deputy Chief of Operations or his designee. All efforts must be made to retrieve supplies that have been used on scene from EMSA. If EMS supplies become low they should either call another station in the district or the District Officer’s station to restock. The District Officer Stations will be allotted more supplies than the standard minimums. Only contact the Quality Assurance Officer for Emergency replacement items.

As with any other lost equipment, all avenues must be exhausted to find the equipment. If the equipment is not found a Missing Items Report Form (found in forms section of Fireweb). The completed Missing Items Report, a letter of explanation, and any other necessary information must be forwarded to your District Officer, EMS Officer and shift QA Officer if replacement EMS equipment is requested. After the information is received it will be forwarded to the Deputy Chief of Operations for replaced approval.

TRG/005TRG/005 SKILLS MAINTENANCESKILLS MAINTENANCE

I.I. PURPOSEPURPOSETo fulfill the mission of the Oklahoma City Fire Department to “respond quickly, safely, and courteously”, it is essential that our personnel maintain basic firefighting skills. Along with our pride and dedication, our skill level is a key component in the service we provide to the community. These basic skills enable us to operate efficiently and safely in a variety of incidents. If we do not maintain our skill level by actual use during emergency operations, or through training; we risk erosion of those skills needed to perform at a proficient level. Therefore, it is the purpose of this program to increase the level of “hands on” training as it applies to our basic firefighting skills.

II.II. PROCEDUREPROCEDUREA. General RequirementsThis is a “practical activity” based program. Class room type instruction and discussion are encouraged, but only to enhance or explain the training to take place and should never replace the “hands on” requirements of this program. All personnel should participate in each activity. When the activity involves apparatus operations, i.e., pumping, maneuvering, aerial operations; drivers and relief drivers will be the primary participants. Firefighters and Officers would participate in such exercises as deemed necessary and beneficial by the supervisor. There will be activities involving apparatus and equipment that are not housed at each station. In these cases, inter-company drills will be necessary in order to ensure that all personnel are able to complete the activity. This training will in no way take the place of, or eliminate other training required, such as Safety School, EMS and Special Operations training.

B. Program DesignThis program is designed to be flexible, allowing the Officer to schedule and conduct skills maintenance activities around the other requirements of the personnel at the station. There will be no minimum time requirements for each activity. The training staff will develop skills maintenance activities on a monthly basis. The Officer should take the time necessary to determine the capability of their personnel to perform the skill at a competent level. Dates and times to conduct training are therefore left to the planning and discretion of the Officer in charge provided that the activities are completed within the quarter in which they are distributed. For example, three activities are distributed in January. Two are outdoor activities and one is an indoor activity. The weather has not permitted the outdoor activities to be done during January so these activities can be done in February in addition to the three for February. As long as all activities get completed within the quarter. In no way are the skills maintenance activities designed to limit training to only the activities issued from Training. Also at times, the skills maintenance activities could coincide with previously established goals, such as a district study activity coinciding with the map or hydrant program.

Training will also provide CD’s, videotapes or training props upon request and other resource material whenever possible to enhance the skills maintenance program.

C. ImplementationThe importance of the role of the Company/Station Officer in this program cannot be overstated. The Officer will not only be responsible for conducting skills maintenance training but also for establishing the proper tone and atmosphere in which the training takes place. The Officer should continually assess the readiness and capability of their personnel, and provide leadership through training to maintain that readiness. This program is not intended to limit or restrict the ability of the Officer to address any additional training needs that would be beneficial to their personnel. Safety is of the utmost importance, as with any “hands on” training, a safety officer should be designated for each exercise.

D. DocumentationDocumentation of this program is necessary for legal issues and consistency. The Station Officer or his/her designated instructor for each activity will complete a Training Activity Log. The number of participants as well as the actual time spent on this activity is among the information to be recorded on the log. Reporting of all training activity will be by means of a Station Quarterly Training Activities Summary turned in to the District/Battalion Chief. The Chief will in turn submit a District Quarterly Training Activities Summary to the Chief of Training. The total data of all districts and all shifts will be compiled and forwarded to the Deputy Chief of Operations. The Training Activity Logs will be maintained at the station in a binder (which will be provided) for a period of one (1) year. The District/Battalion Chief should review these monthly. At the completion of that year, those records will be removed and stored securely at the station (similar to completed station log books).

MNT/002MNT/002 CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF FIRE HOSECARE AND MAINTENANCE OF FIRE HOSE

The following information on the hose listed is to supply all members of the OCFD with information needed to maintain and test the fire hose.

Hose on engine companies, tank pumpers, hose tender, brush pumpers shall be marked on each section with the apparatus designation and section number for all hose with the exception for the booster hose.

Construction of hose is as follows 1 3/4”, 2”, 3” Double polyester jacket, rubber-lined, with lightweight extruded aluminum couplings. 4”, & 5” hose is constructed of 3-ply synthetic construction, rubber-lined, with stortz couplings.

The current fire hose does not require drying before loading. Only one hose load will be issued to each company. The hose should be cleaned by washing down with water to remove mud and debris before loading.

Company officers will inventory the hose assigned to their apparatus on the first Monday in the months of January, April, July, and October.

When repairs are needed, a fire department work order (white) and the section of hose needing repair will be sent to the maintenance shop. The hose will be marked to indicate the hole, tear, etc.

1 3/4”, 2”, 3” couplings should be lubricated with graphite. Inspect the couplings to ensure they turn freely and threads are in good shape. 4”, 5” couplings should have the rubber gasket lubricated with “Luberplate” the maintenance shop will furnish the lubricant.

All fire hose will be tested annually. The annual hose test will be in April of each year and is currently being done by an outside vendor. In the event an outside vendor isn't used to test the hose, it will be the duty of the station officers to coordinate between shifts to decide which day during the month of April they want to conduct the hose test. 1 3/4”, 2”, & 3” fire hose will be tested at 300psi. for 5 minutes in lengths not to exceed 300 feet. 4”, 5” fire hose will be tested at 200psi. for 5 minutes in lengths not to exceed 300 feet. After all hose has been tested at their station, the station officer will send an annual hose test report to the Maintenance Chief, station the number of sections that failed the test.

Extra effort should be expended in winter months to see that the hose lengths are tightly coupled to prevent leaking. Once a hose line is charged at freezing temperature, it must not be shut down until it is ready to be picked up. If it is not practical immediately to drain and pick up the hose lines, some water should be kept running through the hose by slightly opening the nozzle. This will prevent the line from freezing. When closing the nozzle, slowly nudge the shutoff handle towards the closed position until a small stream is still flowing. If the nozzle is completely closed, it could freeze shut and be rendered immovable until it is thawed out.

When lines are to be picked up in frigid weather and there are several lines in the street, take time to select the hose that is mostly on top of the others as the first one to pickup. If the hoses are lying side by side, take up the hose nearest to the edge of the street. Remember, this has to be a fast operation, so the method likely to tangle the hose least should be used. A crew member should be stationed at each coupling; all personnel should concentrate on picking up one line at a time. The moment the line is shut down at the pump, as each crew member uncouples a length of hose it should be walked out to its length, with the hose draped over one shoulder to drain it. Do not take time to drain the hose completely as it is crucial that the hose rolling start immediately. If the hose is dry on the outside and it is rolled rapidly, even though the weather is extremely cold, the hose can probably be rolled before a crunching feeling indicates that ice is starting to form. Avoid unnecessary bends; haste in getting the hose rolled is more important than neatness.

Handling fire hose in a frozen condition is common cause of damage. With enough time, water will permeate fabric hose jackets to various degrees and will freeze in the winter months. Fibers in the jacket will become weakened if the hose is treated roughly; threads are likely to be broken, seriously damaging the hose. If the hose is not frozen solid, several crew members working together can make two or three bends in the hose and place it over the pumper hose bed for transportation back to the station.

MNT/005MNT/005 WHEEL CHOCKS FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT APPARATUSWHEEL CHOCKS FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT APPARATUS

The purpose of this SOP is to establish proper procedures for stabilizing all firefighting apparatus. It is the policy of the Oklahoma City Fire-Rescue Service that all firefighting apparatus have adequate wheel chocks to stabilize the apparatus.

The authorized wheel chocks used ONLY by tank pumpers and brush pumpers is the 3 3/8” X 3 3/8” X 2’ wood chock blocks.

The authorized wheel chocks used by engines, rescue ladders and other various special apparatus is the rubber stair step chock block. The rubber chock block measures 8” wide, 7” in height and 9” long.

No other chock block or any type chock block is to be used by the Oklahoma City Fire-Rescue Service.

Rescue ladders will carry two (2) sets of chock blocks to stabilize the left front and left rear tires during aerial operations.

All other apparatus will carry one (1) set of chock blocks and will chock the left rear tires.

MNT/006MNT/006 APPARATUS INVENTORIESAPPARATUS INVENTORIES

District Officers should reach a consensus on their cars. Please contact your District Officer, Department Safety Officer or any Safety and Health Committee member to help with any loose items that you cannot reach a consensus. 2nd STEP2nd STEPIdentify zero dollar cost solutions to relocate or secure loose items. Do not modify the structure of the apparatus (drill holes, remove components, etc.) Contact the shop for supplies that you may need to effectively secure loose items that must remain in the cab.3rd STEP3rd STEPDistrict Officers shall inspect apparatus during the Saturday Inspection to ensure all loose articles are secure or removed from apparatus cabs.Thank you for your valuable contribution to fire fighter safety and health.

MNT/010MNT/010 PROCEDURES FOR RAISING CABSPROCEDURES FOR RAISING CABSCabs should only be raised to check fluid levels, and to check and clean batteries when not accessible by other means. Do not run engine while raising the cab. If cab does not raise or lower, or if problems occur, call the Maintenance Facility. “SECURE OR REMOVE ALL LOOSE ITEMS IN THE CAB”. (Example: helmets, radios, map books, etc.) Set outriggers/stabilizers where applicable. Make sure all cab doors and inside compartment doors are closed. Make sure the front suction on the front bumper, where applicable, is pointed forward. Raise the boom/aerial device, where applicable, high enough to clear the support. Rotate the boom/aerial device until it clears the cab. When using the cab control, raise the cab until the cab support falls into place. Lower the cab slightly until cab support locks. To lower the cab, raise the cab slightly until the pressure is relieved on the cab support lock. Pull the cab support lock release cable to unlock the support. Lower the cab. Rotate the boom/aerial device to the bed position and bed the device. Raise the outrigger/stabilizers. The 1993 Boardman Teleboom uses air instead of hydraulics to raise the cab. Be sure all air tanks are full before attempting to raise the cab.

MNT/011MNT/011 MANDATORY VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEM USAGE POLICYMANDATORY VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEM USAGE POLICYPurpose:Purpose: To ensure the safety and health of all Fire Department personnel by properly using and connecting exhaust systems to prevent potential inhalation exposures.

It is the policy of the Oklahoma City Fire Department that all apparatus will be properly connected to the vehicle exhaust system when vehicles are located within a fire station apparatus room.

In an effort to improve the air quality of our facilities and to reduce the spread of diesel fumes into the living areas, onto protective clothing, and most importantly into employee's breathing air, the department has installed vehicle exhaust venting systems in our facilities. All employees assigned to apparatus that utilize bays fitted with these control systems shall follow these guidelines at all times.

After apparatus has entered rig room, comes to a complete stop and operator has turned engine off the exhaust system should be connected to apparatus.

Overhead door in which apparatus entered should remain open until exhaust system has been connected. At no time should apparatus be operated above idle inside the rig room with exhaust venting system

connected except when apparatus is leaving the facility When apparatus engine is running at idle inside the station for extended periods the exhaust system should

be switched to the manual position on the control panel. Unless access to a particular compartment is needed, system hoses should be attached at all times while the

vehicle is in quarters. The Company Officer is responsible for compliance with this directive. Questions concerning the system should be directed to the District Coordinator or Facilities Manager

When two or more apparatus are stationed together and when possible the apparatus located on the right should exit station first to prevent exhaust hose from retracting back and striking crews boarding apparatus adjacent to first exiting rig.

Stay clear of the passenger side of any vehicle leaving the station.

FPN/001FPN/001 FIRE DISTRICT MANAGEMENTFIRE DISTRICT MANAGEMENT

The fire district management concept allows for more direct contact between the fire station personnel and the public. Event scheduling such as station tours, presentations to the public, home owners association meetings, etc., should be scheduled at the station level. Any requests originated at the administrative offices will be forwarded to the fire station nearest to the activity.

All requests for interaction with the public should be made through the station officer. Every effort should be made to have the person requesting the activity contact the officer that will be on duty the day the activity is scheduled to take place. It is the Station Officers’ responsibility to notify their District Officer when the activity will take place. If a scheduling conflict arises and the officer cannot keep an appointment the District Officer may reassign the activity. Excellence in service to the public should be emphasized in any public relations effort.

FPN/002FPN/002 STATION TOURSSTATION TOURS

This document is meant to be a tool and a guide for successful public relations especially in the area of fire station tours. This document will use the S.P.I.F.F.I. (Scheduled Public Inspections of Fire Fighting Installations) chart as a guideline for providing successful station tours. With a little training, any firefighter can become an effective public speaker and be able to relate their knowledge to the public.

The S.P.I.F.F.I. chart is meant to be a guide and is subject to interpretation by the station officer. For a station tour program to be successful, it is important for all members of the fire station to participate in the tour that is being conducted. One suggestion is that tour guides be rotated on a regular basis so that all members of the station have an opportunity to become effective public educators.

The S.P.I.F.F.I. CHARTThe S.P.I.F.F.I. CHARTI. before the group arrives: (duty of station officer)

a) Check the appearance of the men, equipment, and apparatus.b) Make the chart available.c) Designate items for the visitors to handle. (this can depend on the age of the tour participants.

II. Upon arrival of group: (duty of station officer)a) Note size of group and split the group if necessary.b) The guide should direct the talk to the appropriate age level.

III. The tour: (duty of guide)a) Introduction of firefightersb) Perform audio test and inform visitors what to do in case of alarm.c) Discussion:

1. How a firefighter spends their day2. Purpose of units in the station3. Watch office explanation

d) Engine explanation:1. Function of engine2. Tools on the engine

e) Rescue Ladder explanation:1. Function of rescue ladder:2. Tools on the rescue ladder

f) Other apparatus explanation:1. Function of the particular apparatus2. Tools on the particular apparatus

g) Important items for every tour:1. Have a firefighter bunk out and demonstrate S.C.B.A.2. Discuss E.D.I.T.H.3. Discuss stop, drop, and roll4. Discuss general fire safety, especially matches and lighters

With the help of the S.P.I.F.F.I. chart, any firefighter can learn to communicate their knowledge and experience to members of the public during a station tour. Include at the end of this document is the Oklahoma City Fire Department’s PUBLIC EDUCATION STATION/COMPANY ACTIVITY form. This form should be filled out after each station tour and turned in with the regular monthly paperwork.

FPN/005FPN/005 BUILDING PREPLAN PROGRAMBUILDING PREPLAN PROGRAM

The goal of the program is to increase knowledge about buildings in the fire companies response district. It is designed to compile accurate information about individual buildings. The information will be useful in controlling emergence incidents. The survey information may also be used in pre-fire planning sessions and daily schools.

Buildings selected for survey should be of significance in regards to needed information. These buildings should be in the first alarm district of each station. Large structures, or structures where a great potential for life loss in the event of a major fire should receive precedence. Structures with unusual features that may hinder firefighting efforts, or pose specific hazards to firefighters should also receive priority.

Outlying areas which have difficulty in selecting buildings within this criteria may make other surveys unique to their area, with prior approval of the District Officer, such as mobile home complexes, oil storage facilities and/or comprehensive area map sections plans for grass stations.

All plans should be completed using the current CAD Program.

Both pages of the building survey form should be completed. Excellent drawings will not give all of the required information. Written information is necessary to give full understanding of the plan by other companies. If the building is of such size or detail that the information cannot be placed on one drawing an additional page may be added. This should be used only on unusual cases.

The written information on the survey form is self explanatory. Where the form allows for free text, be as complete as space permits.

PLAN SHEETPLAN SHEETPlan Sheets should be submitted, one per building or building address. The scale used for the drawing should utilize the space available leaving enough room at the bottom of the page to provide a drawing of the block in which the building is contained.

The name of the building is necessary to provide a means of filing plans for future use. This can be the building name or business name. Plans on vacant structures should be avoided until an occupancy is established.

The emergency contact and phone number should be completed on every plan. This is the number that may be used to locate someone after hours should a problem arise.

Reviewed and accepted by is to be signed by the District Officer in charge of the station and shift completing the survey. It is the District Officers responsibility to review all preplans before redistributing to the companies who should have a copy on file.

The plan sheet should show a typical floor of the building with location of any pertinent building features marked accordingly. Standard map symbols may be used for identification of standard items such as hydrants, fire escapes, elevators, parapets, skylights, etc. These need not be included in the legend. The symbols for gas G, electrical E, water W, shutoffs and the symbol A, for fire department access or entrances which would normally be used by fire department personnel may be used without explanation in the legend.

To identify items not covered by standard map symbols a legend using numbers to indicate significant items may be used. An example is given below.

1. A/C emergency shut-off2. Boiler room in basement3. Gas fed incinerator4. Open pit5. ETC.

If space permits some things may be written on the plan. Area usage such as office space, storage, fenced areas, etc. could be indicated without symbols.

FPN/005 BUILDING PREPLAN PROGRAM - continued

BASEMENT:BASEMENT: Indicate on the map access points to the basement. Also indicate any sump or drain locations.

STAIRS:STAIRS: Stairs should indicate floors served, and if access to the roof is provided. Note the location of any smoke towers or pressurized stairways on the drawing.

ELEVATORS: ELEVATORS: Designate passenger and/or service elevators and indicate floors served.

FIRE ESCAPES:FIRE ESCAPES: Show the location of all fire escapes in the building, and floors served.

CORRIDORS:CORRIDORS: Locate corridors within the building and entrances to them. Also indicate windows at the end of corridors for possible rescue.

STANDPIPE:STANDPIPE: Note the location of standpipe siamese and outlets within the building. Also note outlet size.

SPRINKLERS:SPRINKLERS: If the building is equipped with a sprinkler system indicate the areas served and the siamese location. Also indicate the shut-off locations, drains, and water motor bell.

UTILITIES: UTILITIES: Note the shut-off location for water, gas, and electrical services. Also note alarm panel locations.

SPECIAL USE ROOMS: SPECIAL USE ROOMS: Indicate any machinery rooms or boiler rooms within the building. Indicate specific function rooms by name, (i.e. computer room, welding area, paint booth, etc.). Also note areas covered by a CO2 or halon dump system.

PERIMETER STREETS, HYDRANT LOCATIONS, AND EXPOSURES:PERIMETER STREETS, HYDRANT LOCATIONS, AND EXPOSURES: In the plot plan section of the survey provide a drawing of the block in which the building is contained. Write the name of the streets that border the block. Indicate fire hydrant location and main sizes on the perimeter streets using standard map symbols (ex. [DH 6”] for double hydrant 6 inch main, [TH 12”] for triple hydrant 12 inch main, etc..). If hydrants are not available on a 1 block area increase the size of the area until usable hydrants are included. If this is not possible you can list the location of the nearest usable hydrant. The location of exposures within this block should be shown of the perimeter drawing.

The compass direction should be indicated on the drawing to orient the building as to direction. If possible draw these plans with north at the top of the page. For grass stations indicate entries to fenced locations. Type of road surfaces, and load limits for bridges. Location of all dwellings or significant buildings. Note possible access to all areas of the section if blocked by natural terrain or rail road right of way, etc. Ponds and useful water supply should also be indicated. On information sheet indicate water supply for this area or where closet water may be obtained. The plan should include from one to four sections of land depending upon density of population and buildings. Information page should be included and their locations noted, any other useful information which would assist in fighting fire within this are should be noted. Remember companies unfamiliar with this area may respond when many companies are required.

A building survey will be prepared by each Engine and/or Rescue Ladder company each month. All surveys will be turned in to the training division by the 5th of each month. For large complicated buildings engine and rescue ladder companies may, with prior approval of District Officer, work on the same survey. Both companies shall conduct the on-site inspection.

A building survey should by prepared as outlined by the District Officers goals and objectives for the month.

Any hazards noted during the survey that you feel deserve attention and correction should be presented in writing to the building manager/owner. Follow the procedure outlined in the company inspection standard operating procedure.
