16.

FIRE PREVENTION AND REPORTING:

The guards should frequently review the General and Post Orders in the event of an emergency. It is important that only correct and prescribed procedures are followed in order to minimize the emergency. More specific instructions, concerning emergencies, for each guard post are in the Post Orders.

a. General: The objectives of fire prevention and reporting, in the order of their importance are to:

1) If the guard discovers a fire, he/she should report it immediately and request assistance - inform the fire warden or the alternate fire warden, prior to attempting to extinguish the fire.

2) Prevent the fire from starting.

3) Inform employees in the immediate vicinity of the fire and order them to evacuate the area immediately.

4) Prevent the loss of life and property in case a fire should start.

5) Confine the fire to its place of origin.

b. Preventive Measures:

1) Proper fire prevention measures, coupled with common sense will prevent most fires from starting. It is imperative that the guard constantly be on the look out for fire hazards, particularly in waste cans and electrical equipment. Overloaded electrical outlets are among the leading causes of fire. Whenever a fire hazard is discovered, it will be immediately reported to the fire warden or the alternate fire warden. Appropriate entries are to be made in the Post Log and an Incident Report will be prepared.

2) Know where the various types of fire extinguishers are located, particularly those nearest to the guard's assigned post. Know which is appropriate for the type of fire being fought.

c. Know Whom to Contact:

The following contacts will be made in case of fire.

1) Fire Department: 691-320-2223.

2) The fire warden and the Post Security Officer.

d. Sounding Alarm: Once a fire is discovered, the first thing the guard(s) must do is to sound the fire alarm. Any person available may be instructed to sound the alarm while the guards carry out the instructions set forth in the preceding paragraphs. If an alarm system is not available, the guard(s) must shout "fire."

e. All guards will read and must have full knowledge of the Embassy Fire Plan.

17.

BOMBS, INCENDIARY DEVICES AND FIREARMS:

a. If a bomb or incendiary device, or what may have the appearance of a bomb or incendiary device, is discovered, the guard(s) should immediately clear the area and notify the Local Guard Commander and the Post Security Officer.

"Under no circumstances should the guard touch or in any way disturb the suspicious article or package." DO NOT TOUCH or move any item suspected to be a bomb or incendiary device. The guard(s) should stand by to prevent its being touched or disturbed by other persons. Employees working in the area where the suspicious article or package is located should be evacuated until the cause of the danger is removed. The general rule to follow is: "Clear the immediate area and call the appropriate authorities."

b. Explosive disposal assistance can be obtained by calling the Local Guard Commander.

c. Should the guard(s) on duty receive a bomb threat from any source, he/she will immediately contact the Post Security Officer through the Local Guard Commander. If the guard receives a bomb threat, the guard will try to determine where the bomb is located, when the bomb is set to detonate, what it looks like, who placed the bomb and why the bomb was placed. The most important information is when the bomb is set to detonate and where the bomb is located. Other information like the description of the voice and background noise is important for the guard to determine. This information will be reported in the Post Log and an Incident Report prepared.

d. Should a bomb explode on or near the guard post, keep the area clear of people. REMEMBER, DURING THE CONFUSION OF A BOMB BLAST, THE GUARDS MUST STILL PROVIDE SECURITY FOR EMPLOYEES OR OTHER PEOPLE IN THE AREA.

e. The guards will not allow anyone to enter the Embassy compound or other official facilities, who has an open or concealed firearm, knife, explosive or any other type of weapon in his/her possession except for authorized Embassy personnel. The guards will be especially watchful for attempted entry of firearms or explosives under cover. In the event such devices are detected, the guard will immediately report it to the Post Security Officer through the Local Guard Commander.

18.

The guard must not touch or in any way disturb the suspicious article or package. DO NOT TOUCH or move any item suspected to be a possible chemical and/or biological device. The guard(s) should stand by to prevent its being touched or disturbed by other persons. Employees working in the area should be evacuated until the cause of the danger is removed. The general rule to follow is: "Clear the immediate area and call the appropriate authorities."

b. If the guard(s) on duty receive a chemical and/or biological threat from any source, the guard must immediately contact the fire warden or the alternative fire warden and the Post Security Officer through the Local Guard Commander. Relay all pertinent information, including the type of chemical and/or biological agent, the location and time of the attack, if known, the description of the voice and background noise is important. This information will be reported in the Post Log and an Incident Report prepared.

The guards must be especially watchful for attempted entry of firearms or explosives or chemical/biological agents under cover. The presence of breathing devices, air filters, nose clips, hospital masks, rubber gloves, etc., must be cause for immediate concern and requires further investigation. If such devices are detected, the guard must immediately report the situation to the fire warden or the alternate fire warden and the Post Security Officer through the Local Guard Commander.

e. All guards shall be aware when performing grounds/perimeter patrols of the following:

· Be alert to use of any device inside or outside the building perimeter that could be used to spray a toxic cloud toward the building. This could include commercial spraying equipment, paint, insecticide or garden sprayers, air pumps, or even a crop duster-type airplane. When possible, persons conducting such spraying should be challenged and in all cases, the Local Guard Commander and the Post Security Officer immediately alerted.

· When patrolling public areas look for abandoned spray devices or liquid containers. If found immediately alert the Local Guard Commander and the Post Security Officer. Particular attention must be paid to insure buildings air vents cannot be approached by anyone using such devices.

· Non-employees requiring access to or near building air intake vents or drinking water storage tanks must be authorized by the GSO and coordinated with the Post Security Officer. In all cases, these non-employees shall be escorted by the Local Guard Force or employee personnel.

· At posts with wells or accessible water storage tanks, regular patrols of those areas are required.

Failure to comply with any General Order will result in the permanent removal of the delinquent guard.
