STANDARDS

2.1. Mission. The mission of F&ES Flights is to protect people, property, and the environment at both permanent and expeditionary installations through world-class fire prevention and community-based full-spectrum emergency response to enable the Air Force and Space Force

Missions.

2.1.1. The scope of services identified in the Standards of Cover, at a minimum, will include fire prevention, emergency communications, minimizing adverse consequences at aircraft or structural incidents at one location, rescuing trapped persons, (automobile accidents and confined spaces), managing a Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) release with defensive operations, pre-hospital non-transport-based emergency medical services, and controlling fires at the Wildland Urban Interface. (T-2) Other scope of services beyond those listed above requires a MAJCOM/A4C approved risk assessment and resourcing/sustainment plan.

2.1.1.1. ANG F&ES shall also include responses to natural and man-made disasters outside the installation in their scope of services identified in their Standard of Cover. (T-

2) Fulltime and Drill Status Guardsmen (DSG) F&ES Flights will train and equip to meet this ANG-unique mission. (T-2)

2.1.1.2. ANG manpower authorizations are determined by NGB/A1M, using Air National

Guard Manpower Standard (ANGMS) 44F000. Funding for fulltime ANG Firefighter positions is determined by NGB A4/AIA, based upon recommendation from NGB/A4XF.

2.2. Goal. The goal of the F&ES Flight is to prevent injury, loss of life, and to minimize damage to property, missions, and the environment.

2.3. Objectives .

2.3.1. Prevent fires or minimize their consequences through prevention activities. This objective is achieved with a fire prevention program consisting of project design reviews to include operational requirements, fire inspections, code enforcement, and fire safety education.

2.3.2. Minimize adverse consequences of emergency incidents through emergency response actions and is achieved by early intervention with sufficient resources.

2.3.3. Implement response time standards specified in DoDI 6055.06. The IFC will identify areas or facilities where specified response time standards cannot be met. (T-0) Consider implementing response time standards established in United States Air Force Technical

Implementation Guide 1710.

2.3.4. Since additional risk may be incurred, the IFC shall inform the owning commander (or equivalent) of areas of increased risk. (T-3)

2.4. Emergency Response Capability. Emergency response capability is the level of service that can be provided with available personnel, equipment, vehicles and fire extinguishing agents.

2.4.1. Emergency response capability is expressed as an Optimum Level of Service, Reduced

Level of Service, Critical Level of Service, and Inadequate Level of Service.

12 DAFI32-2001 28 JULY 2022

2.4.1.1. Optimum Level of Service (OLS). When all authorized resources are available for emergency response within response time standards. Optimum Level of Service provides sufficient capability for quick response and sustained operations. During Optimum Level of Service, all emergency response objectives are expected to be accomplished.

2.4.1.2. Reduced Level of Service (RLS). When emergency response capability is less than Optimum Level of Service but greater than Critical Level of Service. Sufficient capability is provided for initial response, scene assessment and implementation of mitigation tactics. This level of service presents increased risk of loss and may prevent meeting F&ES objectives.

2.4.1.2.1. Reduced Level of Service capability results from unfunded or unfilled manpower authorizations, deployment, leave, vehicle impairment, or other temporary conditions. Operating at Reduced Level of Service is a normal day-to-day situation.

2.4.1.2.2. In Reduced Level of Service, the IFC allocates resources according to local risk factors with the goal to provide the highest feasible level of service during high risk periods and reducing capabilities when risk is lower.

2.4.1.3. Critical Level of Service (CLS). When only seven firefighters are available to respond to an emergency within response time standards. For non-aircraft related emergencies, the initial response must consist of at least four firefighters within mandated response time standards. (T-0) The remaining three firefighters arriving on scene within response time standards for an Initial Full Alarm Assignment. Firefighters must meet aircraft emergency response time criteria for announced and unannounced emergencies.

Fire Department Occupational Safety, Health, and Wellness Program when the emergency cannot be quickly contained. Property involved is expected to be severely damaged.

2.4.1.4. Inadequate Level of Service. Consists of six firefighters or less. Property involved is expected to be destroyed. Fire stations serving only remote and outlying areas or auxiliary airfields may operate at Inadequate Levels of Service with an approved Risk

Management Plan approved by the Installation Commander. For an immediately dangerous to life and health environment, refer to Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) 1910.134, Respiratory Protection.

2.5. Regulatory Guidance. F&ES operational policy consolidates a wide variety of requirements from Federal Laws, DoD Issuances, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and NFPA codes and standards. NFPA standards and recommended practices form the foundation for F&ES operations and are adopted as written or as implemented with Technical Implementation Guides.

2.5.1. Technical Implementation Guides ensure the implementation of NFPA standards are consistent with DoD and DAF policy, guidance, and needs. Approved Technical

Implementation Guides permit DoD or Air Force departmental guidance to take precedence over NFPA standards.
