Instructions shall include: proper techniques and procedures for combating various classes of fires, personnel protective equipment, chemistry of fire, portable fire extinguishers, and Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).

1.0 Timeline and Period of Performance

The period of performance for this project is one year from the date of award.

2.0 Deliverables

a.) Request Six (6) Classes of 10 Persons, for an estimated total of 60 Persons b.) Vendors are to provide required Supplies, Transportation between/on facilities if not co-located, Equipment, Classroom, and Drills and Live Fire Demonstration Structures.

c.) Pre-award site visit d.) Contractor must provide an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), as required in paragraph 3.0.

e.) Course Syllabus based on the curriculum in paragraph 5, Unit A through H.

f.) All training shall be conducted within the Hampton Roads, VA area.

3.0 Risks

Fire fighting is a dangerous business under the best of conditions. Many instructors and trainees have suffered injuries while involved in training evolutions. For these reasons, this course has been identified as a high/moderate risk course by OPNAVINST 1500.75B (Series). As such, it is subject to all the requirements for high risk training. Fire fighting instructors must always keep personnel safety foremost in their minds. There is no substitute for active supervision by competent instructors with extensive fire fighting training and good judgment.

4.0 SAFETY / HAZARD AWARENESS NOTICE

The Course Supervisor or his designated representative (a qualified instructor) must be present on the fire field as a safety observer to oversee and intervene as necessary during all live fire exercises. In addition, an emergency medical technician (EMT) shall be present at the training facility whenever live fire exercises are in progress and be immediately available in case of personnel injury or accident.

ENSURE THAT THE FOLLOWING POLICY IS STATED VERBATIM

TO TRAINEES DURING THE INTRODUCTORY CLASS SESSION

1. A Training Time Out (TTO) may be called in any training situation whenever a student or instructor expresses concern for personnel safety or a need for clarification of procedures or requirements exist. TTO is also an appropriate means for a student to obtain relief if he/she is experiencing pain, heat stress, or other serious physical discomfort.

2. Due to the hazardous nature of live fire fighting training, a student shall request a TTO whenever they’re apprehensive about their personnel safety or that of another. An instructor shall effect a TTO for similar reasons. The purpose of the TTO is to clarify a situation of concern, and to receive or provide additional instruction as appropriate. A TTO is requested by a student by raising a hand over the head. If the student’s signal is not acknowledged by the instructor the student shall shout “TIME OUT”. When engaged in live fire fighting training the instructor shall attempt to relieve the student requesting the TTO and direct the student out of the structure. If this is not practical for some reason, the instructor shall back out/remove the group out of the structure.

ENSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS ARE BRIEFED ON THE NEED TO REPORT TO THE INSTRUCTIONALSTAFF ANY CHANGES IN THEIR MEDICAL STATUS DURING THE COURSE
