14.3. Decorations will not be placed where they would restrict or impede fire evacuation routes, block access to exits for personnel exiting the facility, or confuse identification of emergency exits.

15. Self-Help Work Projects.

15.1. All self-help must be approved in advance via a TRIRIGA request and coordinated with the Fire Prevention Office and additional base agencies. The purpose of this coordination is to ensure that the construction, renovation, and structural alterations do not compromise fire protection and safety, and materials use in the project comply with Air

Force and NFPA Requirements. The Fire Prevention Office will review the request and make appropriate comments and recommendations. Non-approved self-help work, which creates a fire hazard or fire safety deficiency, will be identified on an AF Form 1487 and will require the removal of the self-help work and restoration of the work area by the organization that did the work.

15.2. Personnel accomplishing self-help work will not shut down, disconnect, alter, modify, or in any way impede the operation of a fire suppression or fire detection system without approval of F&ES and CEO. Requests for fire detection/suppression work will be submitted through TRIRIGA.

CANNONAFBI32-201 18 JUNE 2020 13

15.3. The Facility Manager will notify the Fire Prevention Office when approved self-help work that structurally alters a facility begins, so the work may be checked for life safety requirements by F&ES during construction and after completion.

16. Fire Suppression and Detection Systems.

16.1. These systems are designed and installed to provide protection for specific occupancies. The systems must remain operational for protection of facility contents and occupants. Generally, these systems will not be made inoperative to accommodate special events in facilities or construction work. If an organization can show a specific need for inactivation or degradation of the system, the Fire Chief will be the approving authority for this action. Requests for approval must be submitted through TRIRIGA by the functional manager or project manager and coordinated and approved by Civil Engineering, Safety, and

F&ES at least seven duty days prior to the requirement.

17. Aircraft Hangars.

17.1. With the exception of Hangar 199, Bay 3 and Hangar 4607, not more than 50 square feet of aircraft surface may be painted within a hangar.

17.2. At no time, will internal combustion powered equipment be started or operated within a hangar unless approved for operation in hazardous locations. Vehicles of any type will not be parked in hangars. All powered, operating AGE equipment will be positioned at least 10 feet from any facility component (i.e., roof, doors, etc.). Should mission requirements cause the need for vehicle parking within a hangar, the organizational commander responsible for the hangar will submit a request, through 27 SOW/SE, to the Fire Chief for approval/disapproval.

17.3. Fire lanes in hangar and shop areas will be designated by means of a 3-4 inch red line painted on the floor, with the words “FIRE LANE” in white paint, spaced at 10 feet intervals.

This lane will be kept clear at all times. The fire lane will extend a minimum of 22 inches from the wall, wall-mounted equipment, and storage lockers.

17.4. The positioning or parking of any type of vehicles, equipment or repair parts, which could obstruct the operation of the hangar doors or hinder the removal of aircraft, is prohibited.

17.5. Each aircraft hangar will have an emergency aircraft removal and evacuation plan developed and posted in each hangar bay; this plan will be reviewed annually. Commanders will ensure compliance with AFMAN 91-203, paragraphs 24.14.5 and 24.14.15. The facility manager will coordinate any emergency evacuation drills with F&ES.

17.6. Each hangar utilized for the parking/storing of multiple aircraft will have an aircraft parking plan developed and posted in each hangar bay. This plan will be coordinated through

Wing Safety (27 SOW/SEF and SEG) and approved by F&ES. The plan must consider appropriate spacing, emergency evacuation requirements, fire suppression coverage, and personnel access requirements.

17.7. When mission or weather conditions require the sheltering of mission essential, one-of-a-kind, vehicles in the same facilities with aircraft, a sheltering plan will be developed by the

27 SOMXG/CC meeting the requirements and coordination specified in AFMAN 91-203, Chapter 24, Aircraft Flight Line-Ground Operations and Activities. Freezing weather, snow, 14 CANNONAFBI32-201 18 JUNE 2020 and rain conditions are normally not grounds for joint sheltering. Maintenance will not be performed on aircraft and vehicles sheltered under this paragraph; special circumstances and possible risk acceptance will be approved at the appropriate commander level utilizing an AF

Form 4437, Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet.

17.8. Parking of aircraft in hangars without installed, or inoperative, fire suppression and detection systems will be avoided and conducted only when no other option or work-around is available. In those situations where mission or severe weather conditions require non-protected hangar use, maintenance will not be performed on those aircraft sheltered in these facilities. Should mission requirements cause the need for aircraft maintenance within an unprotected hangar, the organizational commander responsible for the hangar will submit a request, through 27 SOW/SE, to the Fire Chief for approval/disapproval. An AF Form 4437, Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet, must accompany the request.

17.9. Hangar maintenance floor areas will not be used for storage when aircraft are present.

18. Fire Prevention Visit and Inspection Program.

18.1. Facility and area fire prevention visits will be conducted on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual, annual, or on a walk-through basis as determined by the Fire Chief.

18.2. Walk-through visits will be conducted on a no-notice basis when dictated by increased activity or the nature of special work or functions. These visits will include periods of peak activity, which may include evening operations. Follow-up inspections on previously identified fire hazards and deficiencies and quality control inspections may be carried out in this manner.

18.3. The UFSR and Facility Manager, or designated alternate, will accompany the Fire

Inspector on all scheduled visits. If one of the previously mentioned personnel are not available, a NCO, or civilian equivalent, and above, who is assigned as the facility night manager, shift supervisor, etc., may accompany inspectors during no-notice walk-through visits. An employee labor representative may also participate in fire prevention visits at their discretion.

18.4. Fire and life-safety hazards and/or deficiencies noted during the inspection will be corrected on the spot if possible. If the fire hazard or condition poses an imminent danger, prompt action will be taken to eliminate or reduce the danger. When the hazard involves an operation or process that must be stopped and action is not taken to do so, the Fire Chief, Base Fire Marshal, 27 SOW Safety Officer, and the Functional Manager concerned will be notified to observe and resolve the hazardous condition. If the problem cannot be resolved, the Fire Marshal, the 27 SOMSG/CC, and/or the 27 SOW/CC will be notified and resolution will be made at that level.

18.5. A Risk Assessment Code (RAC) or Fire Safety Deficiencies (FSD) level will be assigned to fire hazards and fire deficiencies in accordance with AFI 32-10141, Planning and

Programming Fire Safety Deficiency Correction Projects (5 Feb 2015), AFI 91-202, and current AFCEC Guidance. An appropriate AF Form 4437 will be developed for all RAC and

FSDs, which are not corrected on the spot.

18.6. The AF Form 1487, Fire Prevention Visit Report, is annotated to show fire hazards or deficiencies found. The Fire Inspector will provide the Facility Manager the original copy of

CANNONAFBI32-201 18 JUNE 2020 15

the AF Form 1487, brief them on the hazards noted, and provide recommendations for corrective actions. The Facility Manager must indicate the actions taken on the reverse side of the form, have the functional manager sign and date, and return the form to the Fire

Prevention Office within the specified time. Details on form completion and routing can be found in Attachment 2.

18.7. The Facility and Functional Manager will start immediate correction of the fire hazard or fire deficiency identified during the fire prevention visit. The Facility Manager should not wait for the official report to begin corrective actions. Any hazard or deficiency not assigned a FSD, and assigned a RAC 1, 2, or 3, that not corrected within 30 days will be documented on an AF Form 3, Hazard Abatement Plan, IAW AFMAN 91-202, Hazard Abatement

Program.

18.8. Open Fire Protection related FSDs and RACs will be reported annually to each respective Unit and Group Commander for priority action and funding and briefed during the

Combined Safety Council.
