APPENDIX A

System Particulars

1. This theory of operation is based on the generic design. The Aircraft Fire Rescue Training

Facility (AFRTF consists of an aircraft mock-up, burn area, control stand, liquid propane fuel system, water conservation pond, pumps, and air compressor. The Drill field further includes a classroom, railcar simulator, 306 tractor-trailer roll-over prop, box trailer, installed cameras/digital recording equipment, industrial close-combat LPG prop, drafting station, smoke-simulation induction ductwork systems, LPG fueled structural trainer, Firefighter Competition tower and automotive fire simulator that are included in said inspection, maintenance and/or upgrade.

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 ft 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 igniters. The wiring to the engine igniters are enclosed in a U.L. approved cellular raceway, which is protected by a water jacket that further protects it from possible failure due to extreme heat. Water injection is located in both wing engines and 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, igniters and burners are installed to simulate flight deck, battery box, 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 the ships.

3. The burn area is 110 feet in diameter. High temperature high strength concrete lines the entire burn area. The mockup is raised above the concrete to simulate a flight line position. 12 to 24 inches below the concrete surface is one 60-mil thick high-density polyethylene (HDPE) liner.

4. There are 6 igniters and burners installed in the ribbon fire divided into 6 individually operated sectors, each designed to simulate flammable liquid ground fires. They 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. There are 18 igniters and related burners installed on the mockup.

5. Located on the fuel operator control stand, are the valves, solenoids and switches used to control the propane flow and igniters during training events. Turning off the master/emergency switch located on the control stand will turn off power to all igniters and close the coax valves located at each fire scene. The propane piping, water piping and electrical conduits from the control stand to the burn area are located in an underground HDPE lined trench. Burners which require increased or decreased flame sizing is accomplished via the flame control momentary high-flame push button located on the control panel.

6. The liquid propane system supplies fuel for training exercises. Propane from 10,000-WC (water capacity) tank to the various burners in the burn area through a series of pipes and valves.

7. Flammability limits between vapor and liquid are very little. Liquid propane has a boiling point of

–44 degrees Fahrenheit. 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 pneumatic, manual, and emergency shut-off valves located on the control stand and in the ribbon and access trenches in the weir. Pressure relief valves are installed on the piping as required by NFPA Standard 58.

8. The water conservation pond is 72 feet by 72 feet square and 6 feet maximum depth. It is lined with 60-mil thick HDPE. Unlike the burn area, the liner is not covered. Two pumps are used to supply necessary water to/from the AFRTF.

4.4* Qualification of Personnel.

A.4.4 Examples of training programs are as follows:

(1) Certified Employee Training Program available from the Propane Education and Research Council

(PERC), www.propanecouncil.org

(2) Programs developed by propane companies

(3) Programs developed by government entities

The term refresher indicates that the periodic training could be less intensive than the original training, since the primary purpose of periodic training is to reinforce initial training rather than repeat it.

4.4.1 Persons whose duties fall within the scope of this code shall be provided with training that is consistent with the scope of their job activities and that includes proper handling and emergency response procedures.

4.4.2 Persons whose primary duties include transporting LP-Gas, transferring liquid LP-Gas into or out of stationary containers, or making stationary installations shall complete training that includes the following components:

(1) Safe work practices

(2)The health and safety hazards of LP-Gas

(3)Emergency response procedures

(4)Supervised, on-the-job training

(5)An assessment of the person’s ability to perform the job duties assigned

4.4.3* Refresher training shall be provided at least every 3 years.

A.4.4.3 Refresher training should review important concepts but concentrate on changes in procedures, requirements, or applications that affect the employee’s primary duties that fall within the scope of this document.

4.4.4 Initial and subsequent refresher training shall be documented

15.3* Maintenance.

A.14.3 As the basis for maintenance procedures, the owner or operator can use procedures or instructions provided by equipment vendors, procedures found in industrial codes, or procedures prepared by persons or organizations knowledgeable about the process and equipment.

15.3.1 Maintenance Procedures. Written maintenance procedures shall be the basis for maintaining the mechanical integrity of LP-Gas systems.

15.3.1.1 Procedures shall be updated whenever a change occurs that affects the maintenance of a system.

NFPA 1403, Standard on Live Fire Training Evolutions, 2018 Edition

6.2.7* The structural integrity of the live fire training structure shall be evaluated and documented by a licensed professional engineer with live fire training structure experience and expertise, or by another competent professional as determined by the AHJ, at least once every 10 years, or more frequently if determined to be required by the evaluator.

*ANNEX E

A.6.2.7 Routine maintenance is important to providing a safe, durable live fire training structure for live fire training. Periodic engineering evaluations are one step in that process. Live fire training structures present unique engineering problems that are not taught to engineers in college or in their daily practice of engineering office buildings, schools, and fire stations. Before a registered (licensed) Professional

Engineer (P.E.) understands live fire training structure engineering, it takes significant efforts on the part of the P.E. to learn how live fire training structures are used, how repetitive live fire training affects structural and nonstructural elements within the live fire training structure, and what materials have been proven to work (or not work) within such a harsh environment. This effort typically requires research and educational efforts and experience with live fire training structure projects.

Because the required evaluation is for structural integrity, the P.E. performing the evaluation should be a structural engineer or teamed with a structural engineer to perform the evaluation. Many states do not license P.E.s by discipline; “P.E.” could refer to a structural engineer or to some other engineering discipline, such as electrical, mechanical, fire protection, or aeronautical. State laws require P.E.s to offer engineering services for only those branches of engineering for which they are qualified. Therefore, a P.E.

who is an electrical engineer or fire protection engineer with no structural qualifications would not be allowed, under law, to evaluate the structural integrity of a live fire training structure.

Note that a P.E. with refractive materials experience and expertise, but not live fire training structure experience and expertise, might not have sufficient understanding of how refractory concrete performs in a live fire training structure environment. Many P.E.s with refractive materials experience have gained that experience working with industrial applications in which furnaces are heated and cooled slowly.

Certain applications of refractory concrete work well under those furnace conditions. However, the same applications of refractory concrete at times work poorly in the live fire training structure environment, where rapid heating, rapid cooling, and thermal shock deteriorate refractory concrete differently than a furnace application would. Many P.E.s with only refractive materials experience, but no live fire training
