HCFMO Fire Training Center Safety Guide

Published March 2015 by the

Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office 2318 Atascocita Rd Humble, TX 77396

281-436-8000 www.hcfmo.net

The Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office Fire Training Center (FTC) is a multi-purpose emergency services training provider. This has been accomplished by using our staff and training partners to develop curriculum, and design/construct real world training props, as well as by incorporating safety into everything we do. The result of this is training that is safe and of the highest quality of emergency services training. To assist our students, partners and guest instructors and CNP’s in understanding and complying with FTC safety requirements, we have developed this Safety Guide. Please take a few minutes to review this important information—for YOUR safety. This guide is applicable to all training, whether conducted at the FTC, Cooperative Learning Centers (CLC), area training events, or customer-owned facilities. It is the expectation of HCFMO that all staff, students, and guest instructors comply with the requirements of this guide. The lead instructor has full responsibility for the safety of his/her students and for ensuring all training is conducted in accordance with this guide. The lead instructor in consultation with and the approval of, the HCFMO Training Specialist or his /her designee can deviate from the policies contained in this guide if the requested deviation enhances the safety of the students or instructors. In no instance will the safety of students be degraded. Requests for deviations will be handled on a case-by-case basis; in writing. Any questions concerning the procedures in the guide should be directed to the HCFMO Training Specialist or his/her designee.

If an unsafe act is noted by an HCFMO Training Specialist during a training evolution, the Training Specialist has all rights and responsibilities to stop the evolution until the issue is corrected.

racks in provided in each room.

Keep all racks at least 10 inches away from the walls when burning.

NO MORE than ½ bale of hay or pallet per rack

NO MORE than 2 racks per Class A burn room

Utilization of the HCFMO 1403 Commander’s Box is mandatory during all live fire scenarios.

o This box will be provided to the Instructor in Charge


BEFORE YOU BEGIN

LIVE FIRE IN CLASS A BURN ROOM

To preserve our Tower

Temperatures should not exceed 600o

F during training evolutions. While the liner will

withstand higher temperatures, the lifespan will be greatly increased by maintaining temperatures listed above.

Do not attempt to cool panel surfaces following source of extinguishment.

Do not allow “Loading” of suspended ceilings with water or other materials. Note that continued use of smooth bore streams on Paginate I will result in surface erosion.

Never use flammable/combustible liquids in burn room. These materials compromise the integrity of the insulating board. (CLASS A COMBUSTIBLES ONLY)

Small attic burn areas are designed for small fires that are contained in small buckets or pans and primarily used for smoke generation or to stimulate a small electrical fire. Fires shall not be set that will extend beyond the protected area.

Starting Out – Initial Burns

1. During the first burn, DO NOT EXCEED 200 and 300o

F for 15 minutes

o During the burn, monitor temperature very carefully.

o Afterward, inspect the burn room panels. It is normal for panels to develop hairline cracks on the surface; however, there should be no cracks extending completely through the pane.

2. Assuming that there is nothing more than hairline cracks in the first burn, a second live burn may be carried out. Temperatures should range from 400 to 500 F for 15 minutes. Following this burn evolution should again be inspected and screw adjustment checked.

3. Assuming there are no problems, a third burn evolution can be completed. Temperatures should be elevated to 600 degrees F for 15 minutes. Another inspection of the panels should be done and screw adjustments checked. Assuming no deep cracking of the panels, the burn room is ready for training use.

NOTE: If any deep cracking occurs in any of the panels throughout these test burns, notify HCFMO Training Personnel at once.


SAFETY AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) REQUIREMENTS

Safety/PPE requirements are listed beside each course and are detailed in the FTC Student Safety Guide available at http://www.hcfmo.net. All students and instructors are required to follow this guide at all times. By registering for class or event, guest instructors and students signify that:

They have read the FTC Safety Guide.

They agree to abide by the requirements of the FTC Safety Guide at all times, and;

They will bring the proper PPE with them to the class, if it is not provided by HCFMO.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Requirements

To ensure the safety of our students, instructors and staff during training evolutions, the following PPE policy has been adopted by HCFMO. The policy is based upon five primary levels of protection, with Level 0 as the lowest level of protection. Additionally, Level 4 contains three levels of protection for specialized training in vehicle extrication, Airport Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF), and rescue. This policy is to be followed by all students, instructors and staff during any HCFMO sponsored training activity regardless of location.

Level 0

This level consists of everyday, casual clothing suitable for a classroom environment. Level 0 is for courses which are completely classroom based with no hands-on training activities and where students remain in the classroom for the entire course. No PPE is required for Level 0.

• Students & Instructors are not permitted to wear red t-shirts or polo shirts while in the Harris County Fire & Sheriff’s Training Academy (reserved for Firearms instructors).

Causal business attire is the minimum required in the Harris County Fire & Sheriff’s Training Academy building. This means full-length pants, and collared shirts with sleeves. NO SHORTS, TANK TOPS, OR SLEEVELESS SHIRTS.

Level 1

This is the lowest level of protection for training outside of the classroom.

Respiratory Protection

Students required to wear respiratory protection during training evolutions should have received prior training, and a medical survey by their employer or department prior to participating in training. By participating in a class which requires the use of respiratory protection, the student implies these requirements have been met by his/her employer or department. Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Use

• All SCBA and PASS devices used at the FTC and other locations must document compliance

with NFPA 1981 for SCBA and NFPA 1982 for PASS devices.

• SCBAs will be used by all students, guest instructors, and HCFMO (instructors and adjuncts)

during training evolutions involving:

- Interior fire structures

- Exterior fires where smoke or other toxic substances may be present.

• When wearing an SCBA, there must be no facial hair in the seal area of the face piece. The

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and NFPA allow no more than a one-

day growth of facial hair. Your instructor and the HCFMO health and safety coordinator or

his/her designee will approve or disapprove your use of respiratory equipment.

• Students will be required to clean and sanitize SCBA components with a solution provided

by HCFMO prior to returning the SCBA to storage. HCFMO instructors will inform students

of the proper sanitation procedures for the brand of SCBA used during training.

Ignition activities

All props, Interior and Exterior • The instructor-in-charge, in coordination with the safety officer, will direct the actions of the

ignition officer. Verify:

- The preferred ignition location based on wind direction and escape routes.

- That charged hose lines are in place and staffed to protect the ignition officer.

- The ignition officer is in Level 3 PPE during the ignition of the project.

- Only approved lighting-torches are used to ignite prop fuels.

• Once the project is ignited, anyone entering the Hot Zone on the project pad is required to

be in Level 3 PPE with SCBA in operation.

After ignition, propane torches are to be removed from the project's interior and placed in a safe location, uphill and upwind, at the outer perimeter of the operations area.


LIGHTNING SAFETY GUIDELINES

Remember this simple lightning safety message and teach it to others:

“If you see it (Lightning), flee it; If you hear it (Thunder), clear it.”

HCFMO Lightning Safety Guidelines include the following information for everyone’s protection:

• When loud Thunder is heard the danger from Lightning is very near to you. Lightning’s high temperature explodes the surrounding air. This always creates Thunder. BANG! BOOM ! CRACK ! (We hear Thunder).

o Immediately tell others it is dangerous and all people should go to safe locations.

• SAFE locations are:

o HCFMO Multi-Story Burn Building (inside)

o Fully enclosed metal vehicles with all windows and doors closed.

o Large permanent buildings like the fire station or academy classrooms. Avoid the Drill Tower.

• NO PLACE OUTSIDE IS SAFE. AVOID being near any metal objects including fences, machinery and electrical equipment. AVOID solitary trees. AVOID water. AVOID open fields. AVOID training field shelters. AVOID using the telephone or touching appliances. (Portable radios and cell phones are safe to use.)

• When is it safe to go back outside? The suggested waiting time is a minimum of 20 minutes from the last observed Lightning or Thunder before resuming outdoor activities.

• A Person who has been struck by lightning does not carry an electrical charge and is safe to handle. Apply CPR immediately if you are qualified to do so. Get emergency help promptly.

• An HCFMO Training Specialist onsite will monitor weather and will notify all personnel if evacuation of the facility is necessary.

SMOKING POLICY

Smoking is not allowed

1. Inside any HCFMO facility buildings at any time;

2. Under project shelters during lectures/presentations;

3. Any location where classes/lectures are being conducted; or

4. Inside HCFMO vehicles.

Smoking is permitted only outside classroom buildings or covered shelters during authorized breaks.
