5.0 AIRCRAFT FIRE TRAINING FACILITY SYSTEM DESIGN
5.1. This theory of operation is based on the generic design. The Aircraft Fire Training Facility (AFTF) consists of an aircraft mock-up, burn area, control stand, liquid propane fuel system, cathodic protection system and water conservation pond.
5.2. The aircraft mock-up, located in the burn area, is constructed of non-coated/unpainted carbon steel. It is approximately 72 feet long, 25 feet high at tip of tail, with a wingspan of 72 feet. The mock-up is configured with three simulated aircraft engines, two on the right wing and one located on the vertical stabilizer. Each engine contains one burner assembly and two ignitors. The wiring to the engine ignitors is enclosed in a protective water jacket that protects it from possible failure due to extreme heat. Water injection is located in both wing engines and at some sites in the tail engine. The wing engines also have dams installed to simulate a flowing fuel type fire. Wheel well and auxiliary power unit fires are simulated on the right side of the fuselage adjacent to the inboard engine. In the interior of the mock-up, ignitors and burners are installed to simulate flight deck, passenger compartment, and cargo box fires. A water sprinkler system is installed in the top of the mock-up to cool and washout the mock-up. An expansion joint is located midway on the fuselage to allow for expansion and contraction during the training.
Cutout panels are located on the left and right aft sides of the fuselage. These 36 inches x 84 inches replaceable panels are constructed of .031-inch-thick sheet metal. The panels are used to simulate emergency entrance into an aircraft. Two steel hinged doors are located at the forward left and left amid ships.
5.3. The burn area is 100 feet in diameter. It is recessed and lined with one 80-mil thick high-density polyethylene (HDPE) liner. The liner is sandwiched between 6-inch-thick layers of sand and then covered by a layer of geotextile fabric and then an 18-inch layer of compacted aggregate crushed stone.
5.4. There are seven ignitors and burners installed in the burn area to simulate six exterior ground fires and one running fuel fire with pool fire on the outboard engine. The ground fires are located on the left and right sides of the forward fuselage, between the right-wing engines, under the left wing, and on the left and right sides of the aft fuselage. The weir is used to maintain the proper water level in the burn area. Opening the burn area drain valve allows all the water in the burn area to drain to the water conservation pond.
5.5. Located on the control stand are the valves, solenoids, and switches used to control the propane flow and ignitors during training events. Turning off the master/emergency switch located on the control stand will turn off power to all ignitors and close the internal valve located on the propane tank via the pneumatic control system, if applicable. The propane piping, water piping, and electrical conduits from the control stand to the burn area are located in an underground HDPE lined trench.
5.6. The liquid propane system supplies fuel for training exercises. Propane is supplied from 10,000 gallon-WC (water capacity) tank to the various burners in the burn area through a series of pipes and valves.
5.7. A propane pump may be installed to obtain adequate pressure, if applicable. A corresponding valve located on the control stand, controls propane flow to each individual burner. Safety features of the propane system are provided to stop the flow of fuel to the burners, and will include a pneumatic or manual control system, and an emergency shut-off valve located on the control stand. Pressure relief valves are installed on the piping as required by NFPA Standard.
5.8. Cathodic protection system is used to protect below ground piping from corrosion through sacrificial anodes inside the trench from the control stand to the burn area.
5.9. The water conservation pond is 72 feet by 72 feet square area and 9 feet deep. It is lined with 80 mil thick HDPE. Unlike the burn area, the liner is not covered. A pump located in the pond is used to supply necessary water for the training area.
6.0. STRUCTURAL FIRE TRAINING FACILITY SYSTEM PARTICULARS
6.1. The Structural Fire Training Facility (SFTF) was designed and constructed by Fire facilities. Contact information is as follow:
314 Wilburn Rd Sun Prairie, WI 53590
6.2. The structure is the “Lieutenant” model (18’L x 16’ W x 34’ H). There are 2 live fire burn rooms included in this structure. Both burn rooms are approx. 14’L x 16’W x 9’ H. Structure was built approximately 20 years ago.
6.3. The structure is constructed of steel. The burn room are lined with Westec Insulation System.
6.4. An addition was constructed in 2017 adding approximately 2000 sq of SFTF including 1 burn room at 12’ x 12’ x 9’in dimensions.
6.5. Only class “A” materials are used during live fire training IAW NFPA 1403. Fires are confined to burn containers and 2 separate temperature monitoring systems are utilized.
6.6. Training props in both structures include roof top ventilation, rappelling anchor points, floor breach, moveable walls for search and rescue and confined space operations.
APPENDIX A
GUIDANCE FOR SUBMISSION OF SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDS)
FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL (HAZMAT) AND REPORTING OF HAZMAT USAGE
Hazardous Materials: A hazardous material is commonly known as a HAZMAT. OSHA defines a hazardous material as any substance to which exposure “results or may result in adverse effects on the health and safety of employees” or “any chemical which is a physical hazardous or health hazard.” There is no ‘one simple list’ of hazardous materials.
References: (FAR, DFAR, AAFAR Subpart 23.3; DoDI 6050.5, DoD HAZCOM Program; AFMAN 32-7002, Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (AFFARS) clauses as described in Part 23 of the FAR, DFAR, and AFFAR, plus reference DoDI 6050.05, DOD HAZCOM Program, AFMAN 32-7002, Environmental Compliance and Pollution Prevention, (current AFMAN, subject to change), and the SAFB Hazardous Materials Management Plan (32-7002A, subject to change) for the management of hazardous materials
Listed below are the general categories of hazardous materials that require the submission of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) hazardous material usage reporting to the Contracting Office or Service Contracts:
· Compressed gases (all types)
· Adhesives
· Sealants
· Paints (including aerosols)
· Lubricants / oils / fuels
· Welding materials
· Solvents
· Chemicals used in testing or as additives
· Any fluids (except water) added to machinery / government-owned or leased equipment
· Pesticides/insecticides/rodenticides
1) After contract award and prior to the post-award/pre-construction meeting, contractors must provide:
a. An SDS for each hazardous material to be used during the contract period.
b. A complete “SAFB Contractor Worksheet” included as the first page of the stack of SDSs (refer to Attachment A-1). Additional forms may be used if the contractor runs out of space on a form.
2) After receipt / review of the “SAFB Contractor Worksheet”, and the associated SDSs, 20 CES/CEIEC will return to the contractor the “Contractor Hazardous Material Review” sheet (refer to Attachment A-2 for an example).
a. Depending upon the item(s) marked on the “Contractor Hazardous Material Review” sheet, the Contractor may (or may not) have additional submittal requirements.
b. If the Contractor does have additional hazardous material submittal requirements, the submittal(s) must be accomplished before the hazardous material is brought on base.
c. The contractor must receive the “Contractor Hazardous Material Review” sheet from SAFB before hazardous material is brought on base.
3) Hazardous materials will be tracked as identified on the “Contractor Hazardous Materials Review” sheet. The following requirements apply (FAR 23-302):
a. Short-term transient contractors (ex: perform specific service and then leave upon completion, such as construction) will submit a Contractor Worksheet along with SDSs for all hazardous material (HM) used during the contract period after the contract is awarded prior to the post-award/pre-construction meeting for environmental review and approval.
i. For contracts less than 60 days, the Contractor will submit the “Contractor Hazardous Material and Usage Data” (refer to Attachment A-3) to the Contracting Office prior to the start of the contracted work, and again at the completion of the contract.
ii. For contracts greater than 60 days, the Contractor will submit the “Contractor Hazardous Material and Usage Data” (refer to Attachment A-3) to the Contracting Office after contract award and prior to the contracted work, once each month of the contract, and at the completion of the contract.
Long-term embedded contractors (ex: perform mission related service otherwise accomplished by Government personnel) shall establish an account in Enterprise Environmental, Safety & Occupational
a. Health Management Information System (EESOH-MIS) for HAZMAT tracking and will be managed the same as any SAFB unit or organization according to the SAFB Hazardous Materials Management Plan in lieu of the monthly “Contractor Hazardous Material and Usage Data” form.
1) If a short-term transient contractor needs to bring hazardous material onto the installation that was not included in the original submittal [refer to step 1) above], the contractor must submit the information required in step 1) (above) to the Contracting Office to begin the review process identified in step 2) (above).
2) Long-term embedded contractors will submit HAZMAT requests through EESOH-MIS, which is managed by the HAZMART. The HAZMART may be contacted at 803-895-9932/9933 or hazmart3@us.af.mil.
