1. Purpose

a. To provide fire safety requirements to protect all employees engaged in work aboard vessels and vessel sections and on land-side operations, including fire hazards and fire response activities at PSNS & IMF Bremerton site and Ship Repair Work Regional Maintenance Center, per references (a) through (e) and this manual.

b. Contractors working at PSNS & IMF shall have a Fire Safety Plan consistent with the PSNS & IMF plan and will comply with references (a) through (e). Contract personnel will advise PSNS & IMF of any unsafe or fire-related hazards and what is being done to address the unsafe hazard/condition.

2. Scope. The requirements apply to PSNS & IMF Bremerton site and Regional

Maintenance Center.

3. Procedures

a. Work site fire hazards and properly controls

(1) Fire hazards include:

(a) Shipboard fire hazards at PSNS & IMF include hot work such as flame heating, welding, grinding, and any other operation that produces temperatures of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Operations not producing sparks or flame and non-explosive-proof equipment such as lights, fixtures, or motors are not fire hazards (i.e., not considered hot work) unless occurring in the presence of flammable liquids or in a flammable atmosphere. High-energy sparks or slag can be thrown or dropped at the work site or produce heat that can be transferred through the deck, bulkhead, or structure not visible to the hot worker. This may occur from flame cutting, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, plasma arc cutting, carbon arc cutting, and thermal spraying.

(b) In buildings, the Fire Department approves specific areas for hot work via Hot Work Permits. Current permissible areas include the Shipfitter Shop, Welding Shop, and burn slabs at Buildings 460 and 368

Bremerton site. Fire hazards in these areas include oxyfuel cutting, carbon arc cutting, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, brazing, soldering, and grinding. Other common potential sources of ignition in occupied buildings include electrical appliances, Page 11 of 17 ITEM NO: 099-01NW motors, fixtures, wiring, as well as non-fixed heating devices (e.g., coffee makers, hot plates, etc.). With the exception of the permitted hot work areas above, open-flame devices, candles, oil lamps, etc., are prohibited.

(2) Controlling Fire Hazards

(a) Combustible materials are removed within 35 feet of hot work in the horizontal and vertical direction or protected with Fire-

Resistant (FR) materials.

(b) Flammable operations are separated from hot work by 50 feet (minimum), and further for more restrictive operations (e.g., 200 feet for gasoline transfer).

(c) Paint, surface coatings, insulation, etc., are stripped back safe distances from welding and cutting operations.

(d) Protective FR containments, guards, curtains, or metal are used to isolate hot work products such as sparks, slag, dross, weld spatter, or grinding dust.

(e) Fire watches are always posted for carbon arc cutting, plasma arc cutting, gas metal or flux core arc welding, shielded metal arc welding, oxy fuel cutting, and thermal spraying. For other hot work operations an evaluation is conducted and fire watches are posted if any of the following conditions exist:

1. Slag, weld spatter, or sparks might pass through an opening and cause a fire.

2. Combustible materials are closer than 35 feet to the hot work in either the horizontal or vertical direction that cannot be removed, protected with flameproof covers, or otherwise shielded with metal or fire-resistant guards or curtains.

3. The hot work is carried out on or near insulation, combustible coatings, or sandwich-type construction that cannot be inerted.

4. Combustible materials are adjacent to the opposite sides of bulkheads, decks, overheads, metal partitions, or sandwich-type construction that may be ignited by conduction or radiation.

5. The hot work is close enough to cause ignition through heat radiation or conduction on insulated pipes, bulkheads, decks, partitions, overheads, or combustible materials and/or coatings.

6. The work is close enough to unprotected combustible pipe or cable runs to cause ignition.

7. There is a gas free certificate that requires a fire watch be posted.

(f) In buildings the following general fire safety precautions are taken:

1. All electrical appliances, fixtures, and wiring are installed and maintained by qualified personnel per references (d) and (e).

Page 12 of 17 ITEM NO: 099-01NW

2. Defective electrical cords, light fixtures, appliances, and switches are either repaired or removed immediately. Missing or damaged electrical faceplate covers are replaced.

3. Electrical motors are maintained in a manner free from accumulation of oil, dirt, waste, and other debris that may create a fire hazard.

4. Extension cords are not used as a substitute for permanent wiring, only for temporary use as with portable appliances. They must be plugged directly into approved receptacles, power taps, or multi-plug adapters; serve only one appliance; be properly grounded; be properly UL-rated for the appliance they are serving; and be maintained in good condition.

5. Power panels have a clear and unobstructed means of access, with a minimum width of 36 inches, and are closed at all times.

6. Small appliances are located with adequate clearance from combustible materials, or thermal-limiting controls or shields and enclosures are used for protection. Automatic timers are prohibited.

(3) Teaching Select Employees How to Use Fire Protection Equipment:

(a) PSNS & IMF employees and Ship’s Force are trained with course ATMS 4314/4314PRAC, and it is documented in the Automated Training

Management System (ATMS). Course content includes terms and definitions, classification of fires, fire watch responsibilities, hot work mechanic responsibilities, hazards of combustion fires, combating fires, Personal

Protection Equipment (PPE), and the theory and operation of fire extinguishers. Course completion includes a practical test of extinguishing a demonstration fire using a water spray hose and a CO2 fire extinguisher.

(b) Fire watches receive initial training and annual refresher training.

(4) Types of Fire Protection Equipment and Systems for Controlling Fires:

(a) Shipboard systems used by fire watches include pressurized water hoses equipped with 3/4-inch pistol grip spray nozzles, portable CO2 fire extinguishers, portable dry chemical fire extinguishers. These are taken directly to the job site for protection against fire for a particular hot work operation(s). On submarines Shop 99 also stages CO2 fire extinguishers on the vessel and at the Casualty Control (CASCON) station

(Bremerton site) while the vessel is in the availability. These fire extinguishers are maintained by Ship’s Force during the industrial availability. On surface vessels the installed damage control equipment is retained onboard and maintained by Ship’s Force damage control personnel during the availability.

(b) Dry docks and piers contain portable fire extinguishers placed in stands and distributed so the travel distance to any extinguisher is 75 feet or less. These are also protected from damage and easily located and accessible. Selection of portable fire extinguishers is determined by the Fire Department, based on the classes of anticipated workplace fires and the size and degree of the hazard.

Page 13 of 17 ITEM NO: 099-01NW

(c) Building (permitted) hot work areas generally have CO2 or

ABC fire extinguishers for fire watches protecting hot work operations.

Buildings also contain installed portable CO2 or ABC fire extinguishers, distributed so that the travel distance to any extinguisher is 75 feet or less.

(d) Permanently installed building fire protection systems include automatic sprinkler systems (primarily wet pipe systems), CO2 extinguishing systems, and dry chemical extinguishing systems designed to discharge after elevated ceiling temperatures are reached.

(e) Systems used by the Fire Department for fire protection include fire hydrants, water mains, standpipes, engine fire pumps, and Class

I dry-pipe standpipe systems. Dry-pipe standpipe systems provide 2 1/2-inch hose connections designed for use by the Fire Department.

(5) Level of Firefighting Capability at Facility:

(a) NAVBASE Kitsap-Bremerton staffs an ambulance, an engine company, and a ladder company. NAVBASE Kitsap-Bremerton also has a Fire

Command Officer and a Hazardous Materials Response Team.

(b) The ship’s fire main system shall be maintained in as ready-for-use condition as possible during availability. When a ship’s fire main system is not operational, an equivalent portable facility in a ready-for-use condition will be installed.

b. Alarm Systems and How to Report Fires.

(1) Any person hearing an alarm in a building should take the following actions:

(a) Warn others and pass the word: FIRE, FIRE, FIRE.

(b) Evacuate the building as expeditiously as possible. Do not use elevators. Do not endanger yourself or others in this effort. Help any personnel who may be in need.

(c) All personnel shall muster in a predetermined location to ensure that everyone has been evacuated and all are accounted for.

Supervisors are responsible for communicating predetermined mustering location to their employees.

(2) Any person hearing an alarm onboard a submarine or noncommissioned ship should take the following actions:

(a) Exit by the nearest route or as directed by the general announcing system or Ship’s Force personnel.

(b) Leave tool bags, equipment, etc., and exit the ship.

(c) Welders shall secure oxy fuel torches at the torch, and if possible, at the cylinders.

(d) All personnel shall assist in clearing exit passageways of obstructions.

Page 14 of 17 ITEM NO: 099-01NW

(e) After evacuation, personnel shall muster at the nearest

Emergency Hold Area (nominally identified as the northwest corner of the dry dock) at Bremerton site, or at their respective shop areas. Personnel muster results shall be reported to the Incident Commander (IC). If any personnel are not accounted for, information shall be provided to the IC.

(3) Any person hearing an alarm onboard a commissioned surface ship should take the following actions:

(a) Stop work in progress and listen for announcements, which will follow all alarms. Follow directions given by Ship’s Force or Watch

Standers. Directions may localize the affected compartments/fire zone boundaries and area that require evacuation.

(b) If directed to leave the space:

1. Exit by the nearest route or as directed by the general announcing system or Ship’s Force personnel.

2. Leave tool bags, equipment, etc., and exit the ship.

3. Welders shall secure oxy fuel torches at the torch, and if possible, at the cylinders.

(4) Procedures for Responding to, and Reporting Incipient Fires:

(a) Fire watch extinguishes the incipient (small) fire. A smoldering cotton glove, hemp rope, or absorbent are examples of this type of fire. Fire Department notification is not required.

(b) Fire watch extinguishes the incipient fire but calls

Regional Dispatch Center (RDC) at 911 or site-specific telephone numbers for cell phones (476-3333 Bremerton) to request a Fire Inspector for investigation. Emphasize the fire is out and do not sound the alarm.

Examples of this type of fire would be a smoldering keel block or any other object that would be difficult for the hot worker or fire watch to positively ensure the fire is out.

(c) Fire watch attempts to extinguish the fire with their fire extinguisher (no more than one CO2 bottle). If unsuccessful or it is obvious that they need assistance, the alarm is sounded. Notify the Quarterdeck

(active surface ships) or Bremerton site CASCON station (active submarines and recycle projects). Pull a fire alarm and/or call 911.

(5) Procedures for Notifying Employees of a Fire Emergency:

(a) Early discovery of fire is important to limiting injuries and loss of life and property. However, the responsibility of personnel to report a fire immediately will not be accomplished at the risk of personal injury.

(b) Personnel are required to immediately operate the nearest fire alarm box (if available) and dial 911 (or site specific for cell phone

476-3333 Bremerton). Some telephone systems, for example, 478 prefixes, are not connected to RDC. Personnel in these areas shall be familiar with the dialing procedures to report emergencies to RDC.

(6) Procedures for Notifying Fire Response Organizations of a Fire Emergency:

Page 15 of 17 ITEM NO: 099-01NW

(a) RDC is PSNS & IMF’s centralized emergency services dispatch center. Fire alarms connected to the PSNS & IMF alarm system terminate at RDC.

(b) Bremerton Site. When a fire alarm or 911 call comes into

RDC, a simulcast tone goes out and the dispatcher requests “Duty Chief 27, Engine 27, Ladder 28,” which covers NAVBASE Kitsap-Bremerton and PSNS & IMF.

In the event the situation is beyond the capability, a call to Kitsap County

Central Communications (CENCOM) begins an automatic recall of all available resources, closest geographic location first, per Mutual Aid Agreements with

Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton.

(c) When shipboard, after calling RDC inform Ship’s

Force/Quarterdeck.

c. How to Evacuate in Different Emergency Situations. Upon activation of an evacuation alarm, or order to do so, personnel will evacuate in an orderly manner and will muster with their supervisor at the pre-designated muster point as specified in the Building Emergency Plan.

(1) Personnel shall be familiar with the building or area in which they work and be able to identify an alternate means of escape.

(2) In the event of a fire or other emergency in which the evacuation of the building is not required, elevators are programmed to return to the ground floor to be available for use by the Fire Department. Elevators will not normally be available, nor are they considered a safe means to evacuate multi-storied buildings during a fire or other emergency. The means of escape shall be by a stairway. Occupants of buildings equipped with elevators will use stairways to exit the building.

(3) Personnel with specific assignments identified on the Supplementary Fire

Bill will accomplish these tasks, unless such assignments place personnel at risk.

(4) In the event of a fire or other emergency that necessitates evacuation of the ship or dry dock, evacuation should be done in an orderly manner. Voice announcements will follow the evacuation alarm. Personnel should follow directions given by Ship’s Force or Fire Department personnel and proceed to the muster point. Personnel not assigned to the project or contractor personnel should report to the on-site management team and provide names and shop/code or company, and remain until released. Technical support personnel should notify their respective Test House or Trouble Desk prior to going aboard and check out when the work or inspection is complete in order to maintain accountability.

(a) Supervisors will account for all personnel and report to the Fire Command Officer(s)/Incident Commander any personnel that are missing.

(b) Supervisors will ensure that once personnel have evacuated the building, ship, and/or dry dock, that re-entry is prohibited until approved by the Fire Department.

(c) The supervisor(s) will report to the senior Fire Officer on scene any missing personnel and when evacuation is complete.

Page 16 of 17 ITEM NO: 099-01NW

d. Evacuation of Mobility-Impaired Employees.

(1) Mobility-impaired personnel, and those requiring special assistance during building evacuations, shall be provided with a safe means of escape from the building.

(2) Fire Wardens/Building Managers shall notify the Fire Department and RDC of the location and plan for evacuation of mobility-impaired personnel.

(a) Personnel assigned to assist permanently mobility impaired personnel, and their alternates, shall be identified on the Supplementary

Fire Bill.

(b) Personnel who are temporarily mobility-impaired do not need to be reported. However, the worker’s limitation shall be considered when assigning assistance to ensure they are provided with a safe means of escape.

(c) The evacuation procedure of permanently mobility impaired personnel shall be evaluated annually during buildings fire drills.
