16.3. 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’ intervals.

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

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

CANNONAFBI32-201 23 APRIL 2010 13

16.5. Each aircraft hangar will have an emergency aircraft removal and evacuation plan developed and posted in each hangar bay. This plan will be exercised yearly and requires physical evacuation of aircraft and personnel. A record of the removal/evacuation exercise will be maintained by the facility manager.

16.6. 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 FES. The plan must consider appropriate spacing, emergency evacuation requirements, fire suppression coverage, and personnel access requirements.

16.7. 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 AFSOSH Std 91-

100, Aircraft Flight Line-Ground Operations and Activities. Freezing weather, snow, and rain conditions are normally not grounds for joint sheltering. Maintenance will not be performed on aircraft and vehicles sheltered under this paragraph.

16.8. 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 Chief, Fire Emergency Services for approval/disapproval. An ORM Plan must accompany the request.

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

17. Fire Prevention Visit and Inspection Program.

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

17.2. 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 evening operations. Follow-up inspections on previously identified fire hazards and deficiencies and quality control inspections may be carried out in this manner.

17.3. The UFSR and facility manager, or designated alternate, will accompany the fire prevention inspector on all scheduled visits. A responsible individual, such as a night manager, shift supervisor, etc., may accompany inspectors during no-notice walk-through visits. Employee labor representatives may also participate in fire prevention visits at their discretion.

17.4. Fire hazards and deficiencies noted during the inspection will be corrected on the spot if at all 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 Chief, FES, Base Fire

Marshal, 27th Special Operations Wing Safety Officer, and the functional manager concerned will be notified to observe and resolve the hazardous condition. If the problem

14 CANNONAFBI32-201 23 APRIL 2010

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.

17.5. Risk Assessment Codes (RAC) and Fire Safety Deficiencies (FSD) will be assigned to fire hazards and fire deficiencies in accordance with AFI 91-301, Air Force Occupational and Environmental Safety, Fire Prevention and Health (AFOSH) Program and current

AFCESA Guidance. Appropriate ORM Plans will be developed for all RAC and FSDs which are not corrected on the spot.

17.6. 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 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

17.7. 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, assigned a

RAC 1, 2, or 3, not corrected within 30 days will be documented on an AF Form 3, Hazard

Abatement Plan, IAW AFI 91-301.

17.8. 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.
