Governance and Administration

1. Governing Body

a. Overview. The Marine Corps F&ES) Program is legally established in accordance with reference (a), Department of

Defense Instruction (DoDI) 6055.06, DoD F&ES Program. DoDI

6055.06 is policy and criteria for the allocation, assignment, operation and administration and provides overall guidance for the DoD F&ES Program. The Marine Corps implements authority through this Order, which is an elaboration of DoDI 6055.06.

b. Commander’s Responsibilities. Commanding Officers have jurisdiction over each installation. Commanders are responsible for establishing and maintaining a comprehensive and effective

F&ES and/or ARFF program aboard installations. This includes all activities and facilities under their command. The

Commander’s authority for F&ES and ARFF programs are delegated by a policy statement (Installation-level Fire Regulations), which establishes a reporting chain of command for the Fire

Chief of the F&ES department and the ARFF OIC to conduct the day-to-day operations of their departments.

c. Fire Chief Responsibilities. The Fire Chief serves as the senior fire protection manager and technical representative to the Installation Commander. The Fire Chief is responsible for providing the Installation Commander with updates to the

Installation-level Fire Regulation to ensure it remains current with appropriate orders, codes and standards. The Fire Chief is responsible for the day-to-day operation, as well as providing leadership and management for the F&ES department through planning, staffing, directing, coordinating, and the evaluation of various programs and assigned tasks.

d. ARFF OIC Responsibilities. The ARFF OIC serves as the senior ARFF fire protection manager and technical representative to the Installation Commander. The ARFF OIC can provide planning and resources to assist in installation emergency management. The ARFF OIC is responsible for the day-to-day operation, as well as providing leadership and management for the ARFF department.

e. Additional Governance Structures. The Fire Chief and

ARFF OIC shall identify additional governance structures that may influence the F&ES and ARFF departments and notify

1-2 Enclosure (2)

Commanders of the same in writing through the chain of command.

Additional governance structures may include, but are not limited to: personnel regulations, collective bargaining agreements, MAA, interagency support agreements, memoranda of understandings, health and safety, training and equipment standards and regulations.

2. Agency Administration

a. Standards. The Marine Corps has adopted the relevant codes and standards of references (a), (e) and (f) as minimum fire protection and emergency services requirements. F&ES departments shall demonstrate compliance with the applicable legal requirements of local, state/provincial, and federal government.

b. Requirements. The requirements presented herein are minimum requirements and shall not be reduced until all available alternatives to eliminate deficiencies have been exhausted. If minimum requirements cannot be met, there is a corresponding increase in risk to the installation and its mission. Commanders must be notified in writing of this increased risk with a deviation request outlined in Chapter 2 of this Order. In determining the fire protection and emergency services requirements, the following factors shall be considered:

(1) Strategic importance and mission criticality of the installation.

(2) Degree of fire and life safety hazards.

(3) Value at risk (i.e., facilities, aircraft, equipment, contents).

(4) Extent of automatic protection provided.

(5) Availability of outside support.

(6) Emergency response requirements (i.e., emergency medical services (EMS), hazardous materials response, specialized rescue, ARFF, disaster response).

c. F&ES Standards of Response Coverage. A Fire Protection and Emergency Services Program classification system shall be utilized to determine the level of protection required at respective Marine Corps installations. The classification rating is based on the factors discussed in requirements above. Figure

1-3 Enclosure (2)

1-1 displays the class of each F&ES Department on Marine Corps installations.

(1) Class A: The installation has high strategic importance and is critical to the military readiness of the Marine

Corps. The value of property and equipment is high and significant life safety hazards are present. Class A installations require a F&ES force which meets the Minimum Level of Service Objectives – Operations for a Full Alarm Assignment as illustrated in Figure 1-2 below.

(2) Class B: The installation is less critical in strategic importance and military readiness. The value of property and equipment is not as significant as Class A installations and the life safety hazards are reduced. Class B installations require a firefighting and emergency services force which meets the Minimum Level of Service Objectives – Operations for a First Arriving Company as illustrated in Figure 1-2 below.

(3) Class C: Due to its reduced strategic importance and impact to military readiness, as well as its size, location and the availability of outside forces, the installation does not require an organized firefighting and emergency services force.

Class C installations do not require a firefighting and emergency services force that meets the Minimum Level of Service Objectives

– Operations for any program element. Class C installations may establish an on-site fire brigade where outside forces are not available in accordance with reference (a) and reference (e), NFPA

600.

Assessment and Planning

1. Documentation of Area Characteristics

a. Overview. Per references (h), page 83 and (i), page 11, the assessment and planning requirement generally consists of:

Dividing the installation into fire demand zones (FDZs);

completing an all-hazards based risk assessment for each FDZ to document both fire and non-fire risk; determining the scope and level of service objectives required of the F&ES department in order to address the known risk in each FDZ; documenting the scope and level of service objectives in a standards of cover

(SOC) document; completing a self-assessment using the

Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) model, then using historical incident response data (minimum of three

(3) years) to determine the F&ES department’s ability to meet its established SOC. The evaluation of the department’s ability to comply with its SOC is completed on an annual basis as part of a continuous improvement process. Gaps in the F&ES department’s performance in comparison to its SOC are then addressed in the strategic plan.

b. Establishing a Standards of Cover. The F&ES program will develop a SOC for the installation. The SOC shall be approved by the Installation Commander. The SOC will include input from other applicable installation departments, i.e., ARFF, dispatch, public works, human resources. The SOC, reference (i), page 11, is developed by establishing FDZ, completing an all-hazards risk assessment for fire and non-fire risks for each fire demand zone, and determining the scope and level of service objectives, utilizing the Minimum Level of Service Objectives -

Operations on page 1-4, Minimum Level of Service Objectives –

Prevention on page 1-5, and Minimum Level of Service Objectives

– Management on page 1-5.

c. Responsibility for a Standards of Cover. The SOC for an installation shall be developed, documented and approved by the

Installation Fire Chief. SOC documents for an installation shall be validated through the staffing process, seeking concurrence and endorsement on the installation’s minimum requirements through the chain of command, with final approval by the Installation

Commander. Installations that do not have F&ES departments will have SOC documents developed by subject matter expert support identified by Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) MCICOM.

Information on SOC documents can be found at reference (i). In

2-2 Enclosure (2) determining the fire protection and emergency services minimum requirements, a risk assessment of the installation shall be completed by the F&ES department and the six factors described in

Chapter 1, Paragraph 2, shall be considered in the performance of this assessment.

d. Short-term Deviations. These are deviations from minimum requirements in the SOC caused by immediate circumstances resulting in reduced capability for less than 90 days. The

Installation Commander has the authority to approve short-term deviations.

e. Temporary Deviations. These are deviations from minimum requirements in the standards of cover that result in capability loss for more than 90 days but less than 1 year. Temporary deviations shall be documented in a “get-well” plan that shall not exceed 3 years and, at a minimum contains the following:

(1) An assessment of the risk caused by the deviation.

(2) A description of measures to minimize increased risk caused by the deviation.

(3) Detailed steps and timelines planned to meet the

(4) Communication strategy for informing those affected by the deviation (e.g., housing residents, building occupants) that a deviation has occurred and the plan to remedy that deviation.

(5) Strategy to update the Installation Commander regularly of the increased risk and the status of the get-well plan to meet the requirements.

(6) Formal approval of the Installation Commander acknowledging acceptance of increased risk, commitment to carry out provisions in the plan, and the expiration date of the approval.

(7) Formal review by the echelon commander that is in the direct chain of command of, and one level higher than, the

Installation Commander (i.e., Commanding General, Marine Corps

Installations East, Commanding General, Marine Corps Installations

West, Commanding General, Marine Corps Installations Pacific, or

Commanding General, Training and Education Command). A copy of all approved temporary deviations shall be forwarded to HQMC

(MCICOM).

f. Long-term Deviations. These are deviations to the standards of cover that are not expected to be remedied. Long-term deviations from minimum requirements documentation shall contain the following:

(1) An assessment of the risk caused by the deviation.

(2) A description of measures to address the increased risk caused by the deviation.

(3) A communication strategy for informing those affected

(e.g., housing residents, building occupants) that a deviation has occurred and the measures being taken to minimize the risk of the deviation.

(4) Deviation requests shall be submitted to DC I&L for

F&ES departments and DC AVN for ARFF departments. The approval shall contain clear statements that the approving authority has accepted the increased risk caused by the deviation. Deviation approvals are valid for a maximum of 3 years. If the approval authority changes, the deviation shall be briefed to the new approval authority. Expiring approval may be reviewed, provided all steps in the approval process are re-accomplished or revalidated.

(5) Requests for long-term deviations shall be forwarded to HQMC (MCICOM) for consideration. HQMC (MCICOM) is the first line of authority for approval of long-term deviations to this

Order. Requests for long-term deviations forwarded to HQMC

(MCICOM) must include endorsement by all management levels

(echelon commanders) in the direct chain of command of the requesting installation.
