To avoid injuries, always remove power from, discharge and ground a circuit before touching it. If a test connection to energized equipment is required, make the test connection ground con-nection before probing the voltage or signal to be tested. Do not attempt internal service or adjustment of equipment un-less another person capable of rendering aid and resuscita-tion is present.

6 LIVE FIREFIGHTER TRAINING.

The information in Paragraph 6 through Paragraph

6.5 is taken from USFA-TR-100 May 2003 Trends and Hazards in Firefighter Training - Special Re-port which is available on-line at: http://www.us-fa.fema.gov/downloads/txt/publications/tr-100.txt

The need for safe firefighter training must be balanced with sufficient challenge to prepare firefighters for the unpredict-able nature of the fire ground. Training must not be so con-trolled as to give firefighters a false sense of security, nor can it disregard established safety procedures for the sake of increased realism. To maintain an effective cadre of firefight-ers and officers, the fire service must find new and dynamic ways to train personnel to act in a safe, decisive manner that best supports the fire service’s mission to protect lives, prop-erty, and the environment.

This system is a live fire trainer intended to ex-pose the firefighter/trainee to the same thermal and direct fire exposure experience in an actual uncon-trolled fire emergency. The system is not a fire simulator; there is nothing simulated about the fires in the system. The potential for the training system fires to cause thermal injury is no less than that in an actual uncontrolled fire emergency.

6.1 Safety. Although generally considered an essential

part of firefighter training, practical evolutions utilizing live fire or smoke pose a significant risk to both trainees and instructors. The potential for injury is very real during this type of training and prudent instructors take numerous pre-cautions to ensure the safety of the participants.

6.2 Life-Threatening Fire Conditions. Modern protective

clothing may make life-threatening fire conditions less obvi-ous; fire fighters and instructors must be constantly alert to recognize the visual and physical clues to impending danger.

6.3 Firefighter Activities. Firefighting is, without question, a highly physical and demanding activity. The intensity and prolonged duration of firefighter training evolutions place substantial physical stress on trainees and instructors. Inju-ries that commonly occur during training evolutions involve knees, lower back, strains, and sprains. The best means for preventing these potential injuries is by promoting physical fitness and proper lifting techniques. Although it is impos-sible to completely prevent these types of injuries, increased fitness and conditioning helps to reduce the incidence of in-jury and enable firefighters to cope with the intense physical demands of practical training and tactical operations. Simple techniques, such as warm-up exercises to prevent muscle in-juries, although not routinely employed, should be done prior to any training.

During training, firefighters physical stress level should be monitored continuously to reduce train-ing- related heart attacks, strokes and heat stress emergencies.

6.4 Safety Discipline. The discipline and supervision ap-

plied during training can rarely be matched in actual fire-fighting operations. In many ways, training can and should constitute one of the safest aspects of a firefighter’s job.

However, training is sometimes compromised by compla-cency or by the diminished sense of danger suggested in a controlled training environment.

6.5 Building Construction and Detection/Suppression

Systems. The decrease in the incidence of fires, coupled with improvements in building construction and detection/ suppression systems, has led to a shortage of instructors with extensive experience under actual fire conditions. As experi-enced instructors retire, especially those in career fire depart-ments serving urban areas, they are being replaced with younger, less seasoned instructors. New instructors are often well educated and have usually achieved instructor certifica-tions through organizations that meet or exceed NFPA stan-dards for teaching and training. However, many of these in-structors do not have the same level of fireground experience as more seasoned fire instructors. While well-trained and competent leaders, they may not have the fire combat expe-rience of many of their predecessors that can help them to iv quickly recognize dangerously changing fire conditions. Lim-ited experience makes it even more imperative that firefight-ing instruction adheres strictly to established policies and standards.

Fire service instructors should ensure that training standards and procedures be followed closely, es-pecially when challenging tasks are assigned to recruits. To prevent injuries, instructors must know their material well, maintain a high ratio of in-structors to students and be vigilant about ensur-ing strict adherence to safety procedures. Instruc-tors should familiarize themselves with the backgrounds and experience of their students, and care should be taken to avoid situations for which the students are not yet prepared.

6.6 Attitude and Training. Attitude and the Training

Academy Way. One of the cornerstones of fire service train-ing is to impart the correct attitude towards firefighting from instructor to student. Failure to pass on the appropriate atti-tudes and force unit discipline in fire training can have a lasting effect on students. One problem consistently voiced by experienced fire service personnel is the attitude that there is a training academy way of doing things, and the real way of doing things (outside of training). The training academy way should be synonymous with the right way.

7 STRUCTURAL FAILURE REPORTING.

Any structural failure, collapse, damage, or significant defor-mation in the physical shape of the trainer mock-up, control/ safety tower, or propane storage facility shall be reported within 24 hours of occurrence to AFCEC/COS/CXF, 139 Barnes Drive, Tyndall AFB, FL, 32403-5319 or the AFCEC Reach Back Center. General warping of decks and panels which do not result in the deformation or shifting of the trainer’s general shape are considered normal in the course of use of the trainer.

8 COMPONENT FAILURE REPORTING.

Any component failure or malfunction which occurs in other than a safe mode shall be reported within 24 hours of occur-rence to AFCEC/COS/CXF, 139 Barnes Drive, Tyndall AFB, FL, 32403-5319 or the AFCEC Reach Back Center at ww-w.afcec.af.mil. All the components are designed to fail or not function in a safe mode - off, shut-down or not operate - any other failure condition must be reported.

9 CASUALTY REPORTING.

Any injury or death occurring during or following a training exercise using the an Air Force Fire Training Facility shall be reported within 6 hours using the Fire Incident Notifica-tion reporting process in AFI 32-2001. Copies of the final incident report shall be provided to AFCEC/COS/CXF, 139 Barnes Drive, Tyndall AFB, FL, 32403-5319 or the AFCEC Reach Back Center. As with any live training event, there is a potential for personnel injury. The following procedure shall be applied to all fire trainer systems regardless whether the system is COTS, Air Force Standard Design or unique design any time a firefighter suffers a reportable injury.

• The fire events in use at the time of the injury shall be locked and tagged out. Other events may con-tinue in use with the approval of the installation Fire Chief. Locked/tagged out fire events shall not be used until approved by AFCEC.

• All personal protective clothing and equipment used by the injured party shall be collected and secured for evaluation. Items shall remain secured by the installation Fire Chief until both MAJCOM and AFCEC have determined there is no further need for the items.

• The fire hose and nozzle being used in the training event shall be collected and secured. Items shall re-main secured by the installation Fire Chief until both MAJCOM and AFCEC have determined there is no further need for the items.

6 MANUAL STRUCTURE.

This manual is divided into WPs and SWPs. Each WP is an independent, task-oriented unit. Only essential information is provided. WPs cover the subjects of alphabetical indexes, foreword, theory of operation, operating instructions, trouble-shooting, inspection, and repair. A WP is subdivided into SWPs when one division by WP is not sufficient to maintain a logical sequence of data, for clarity, or to isolate specific maintenance level requirements.

7 WP BREAKOUT.

The Alphabetical Index (WP 001 00) provides a complete list of all WPs and SWPs.

8 LOCATING INFORMATION.

The Numerical Index of Effective Work Packages lists, in numerical order, all WPs and SWPs contained in this manual and provides the model application for each WP/SWP. The Alphabetical Index WP lists, in alphabetical order, all WPs and SWPs contained in this manual. Each WP/SWP contains a table of contents which lists all procedures contained in that WP/SWP. Reference to paragraphs, tables, or figures within a WP are made by number, e.g. “paragraph 7, table 2, or figure 3.” A reference to another WP merely includes the WP or SWP number, e.g., “WP 004 00 or SWP 004 01.” To find a particular procedure or topic, it is necessary to refer to that WP or SWP.

9 LEADING PARTICULARS.

Due to the nature and geographic diversity of each site, it would be impractical to list all leading particulars in this manual. Wherever possible, those items with a high prob-ability of site specific installation will be identified by the words, “if applicable”.

10 MAINTENANCE CONCEPT.

Civil Engineering or contractor personnel will maintain this facility. The replacement of valves, piping, etc., and clean-ing, painting, lubricating and corrosion control will be ac-complished utilizing established Civil Engineering proce-dures and per the manufacturer’s instruction. WP 007 00 contains excavation procedures for gaining access to and subsequent back fill of underground components. Inspection criteria for specific components will be as per this manual and manufacturer’s instruction.

11 USE OF SHALL, WILL, SHOULD AND MAY.

Use of the word “shall” indicates a mandatory provision that is binding. Use of the words “should” and “may” express non-mandatory provisions. The word “will” is used to ex-press a declaration of purpose. “Will” may also be used to show simple futurity, e.g., “Power for the meter will be pro-vided by the ship”.
