chapter 10 Flashcards
Company level inspections and pre-incident planning
Co’s and their dept’s Administration need to understand th difference b’tw ‘’ surveys and fire and life ‘’
PRE-INCIDENT / LIFE SAFTEY CODE
Pre-incident survey are not intended to ‘’
locate code violations
If violations are found the Co’s may request/require that owners correct the violation or report the problem to the ‘’
community risk reduction
pre- incident surveys are conducted to assist FF ‘’ should ever be an incident at the building or facility .
operations
inspections provide Officers with the opportunity to become ‘’ w. the ‘’ and potential ‘’ within their response district.
familiar / structures/ hazards
inspections also provide a ‘’ service
public
inspections provide an opportunity to become familiar w. the structures within the community meet applicable ‘’ and ‘’
code and standards. 265
what ‘’’ inspections are designed to ?
Ensure that fire and life safety code requirements are adhered within public facilities
Enable the Co’s to become familair w/ buildings and facilities
provide the owner/occupant w/ safety materials and info to explain why an act or condition is unsafe
Fire and life safety inspections
Co’s should follow their ‘’ polices and procedures for conducting inspections
AHJ’s
Co’s should be familiar with the following ‘’’ elements :
authority under which ‘’’ may be done
preparing
conducting
general inspection
Hazard mat identification
closing interviews
documentation
inspections
in general, unless an emergency is in progress on the property, FF’s cannot ‘’
enter property w/o permission
under common law and most statutory law, the existence of an emergency constitutes implied ‘’’’
implied permission to enter
military emergency responders on military base
members of industrial brigade on company property are exceptions to ‘’’’
implied permission
what are conditions that allow emergency responders and law enforcement to enter structures without a warren.
exigent circumstances
for exigent circumstances to apply 1 of these 3 conditions must be present
people must be in imminent danger
evidence may face imminent danger
a suspect may escape p. 266
When no life threatening emergency exist, the ‘’ must grant right to enter property. This specifically applies to ‘’
owner or local ordinance
safety inspections
Local governing body must adopt an ‘’ that ‘’ the fire chief and designed representative to enter private property within the jurisdiction at ‘’
ordinance , authorizes , at any reasonable hour
all units must understand that inspections may be interrupted by an ‘’
emergency
all emergency responders have a ‘’ and ‘’ duty to act when they confront a ‘’ conditions
legal /moral / hazardous
`who is responsible for ensuring that these building and facilities are inspected
fire chief
most fire codes require buildings or facility yo be inspected at least ‘’ a year
1
CO’s must identify what during inspections
hazardous conditions that might cause a fire and conditions that impede the occupants egress in emergency
obstructed or locked exit doors must be
corrected b4 the co leaves
other violations such as ‘’ can be given more time to correct
fire extinguisher ( reasonable amount of time ) p. 267
when a violation has been reported to the occupant and the required corrective action has been explained, a ‘’ that includes ‘’ and time of the follow up or reinspection is issued.
written notice , time and date
if violation is all set after reinspections the co should
thank occupant and complete paperwork
if violations are not corrected co should follow organizational guidelines to gain compliance these may include :
making another attempt
scheduling a second follow up
issuing a citation to the responsible party
a major factor in a life safety inspection is
preparation
the purpose of any life safety inspection is to leave the occupancy ‘’
safer than b4 and the occupant more knowledgeable about protecting themselves
the first step in preparing for the inspection is
gathering info p. 268
one of the best informations sources about an occupancy is the record of ‘’
previous inspections and incident reports
at the very least , the record indicates a need for ‘’
more public education with the building owners
co’s must know the inspection ‘’ and ‘
policy and follow it p. 269
a large part of the success of an inspection depends on how the business owners and employees ‘’ the personnel ‘’ the inspection
perceive , conducting
Units should drive around the facility or block to observe the surrounding areas, personnel should note or photograph the following :
hydrants
potential exposures
overhead obstruction
business name /address as displayed on building
anything else that could help location or aging access to building
one member is usual y required to what during inspections
stay with truck
b4 starting inspection co’s should ask the rep to review background data including
address , owners, numbers.. make sure correct. 270
what is an inspections primary concern
life safety
Co’s must inspection every ‘’
room, space or compartment
Company personnel may sign ‘’’’ agreements some private firms working under federal contract require personnel to complete ‘’ b4 being allowed to enter
confidentiality
personal data form
if occupant has a sprinkler systemm the inspector should check the ‘’
post indicator valve
if no floor plan exist , …’’
one should be drawn during inspection tour
common’’’ may be divided into the follow :
means or egress
processes
waste mNGT
hosuekeepin
storage
fire protection p.271
violations
what is the most single important life safety item to be inspected
means of egress
a means of egress consist of 3 parts ?
access to the exit
the exit itself
exit discharge
the exit may discharge into a ‘’ or lead to a ‘’
public way / point of saftey or area of refuge
according to NFPA101 life saftey code all means of egresss must be usable by a person with ‘’
severe mobility impairment
inspections should look for what regarding egress
obstruction , markings , lighting , door swing , hardware and stairwells
what is any permanent or movable object that will reduce the width of original exit passage( must be removed immediately )
* if severe may result in closing of facility until corrected
obstruction
exit signs must be visible in ‘’’ , signs are usually ‘’ and have ‘’ power in event of power failure . usually above doors
dark , electrified , auxiliary
exit doors usually swing in the direction of’’ . on a doors exit discharge side , the door opening should not extend into ‘’
travel, passageway and reduce exits width
exit doors must remain ‘’ from the inside whenever the building is occupied and must be ‘’ from the inside with a single motion , w/o a key or special knowledge.
unlocked /openable
interior locks should not prevent
reentry onto all floors , if required
Interior locks should not prevent re-entry onto all floors if required reentry permits
sheltering in place on selected floor p. 272
what can obscure or block access to means of egress
trash or litter
small storage rooms may contain
janitorial supplies, office supplies or miscellany materials
large rooms may contain ‘’’’, such as toys, clothing , maintenance parts or ignitable liquids.
retail merchandise
flammable material such as ‘’ must be kept seperate
cardboard boxes , packing material or ignitable liquids
smoking .weding and cutting operations should be ‘’ from stage areas
prohibited
exit passageways need to be
marked and unobstructed
fire protection depends upon many factors such as :
employees ability to ‘’ and ‘’ a fire
ability to use a ‘’
built in ‘’
automatice ‘’
recognize , report
extinguisher
fire alarm systems
sprinklers
company level personnel must possess sufficient know and skills to be able to :
answers ‘’ related to fire ‘’
asset plant ‘’ and’’ personnel i these areas when asked
inspect and if required test ‘’
questions prevention and protection
saftey /security
fire detection p. 273
3 Major systems used to identify hazardous material in North America
NFPA 704
u.s. Dept of Transportation (dot)
United Nation global Harmonized system of classification and labeling of chemicals ( GHS ) p. 74-5
Signs may indicate the presence of Hazmat material at:
FF
P
PS
C
fixed facilities
pipelines
on piping systems
other container
NFPA “” is the standard system for identification of the hazard of materials for emergency response
704
what NFPA is the widely recognized method for indicting the presence of hazmat material at commercial , manufacturing , institutional and other fixed storage
nfpa 704
NFpa 704 is designed to alert emergency responders to health,flammability,instability and related hazrds specifically x2 ‘’ that may present short term , actor exposures resulting from fire, spill or similar emergency
oxidizers, water- reactive material
who x3 countries use a placarding , labeling and marketing systems to identify hazmat during transports
us , mexico and canada ( same source transport of dangerous goods- model regulation published by United nations)
Transport labels are designed for ‘’ packages , where transportation placards are designed for ‘’ packages
non bul vs bulk275
what does GHS stand for
globally harmonized system of classification of chemicals
the purpure ‘’’’ is to promote common and consistent criteria for classifying chemicals according to there health,physical and enviromental hazards and encourage the use of compatible hazard labels and saftey data sheets and other comm info based on the resulting classification
Global harmonizing system
Key harmonized elements of ‘’ are:
Uniform classification of hazardous substances and mixtures
Uniform labeling standards
Allocation of label elements
Symbols and pictograms
— Signal words: danger (most severe hazard categories) and warning (less severe hazard categories)
Hazard statements
Precautionary statements and pictograms
Product and supplier identification
Multiple hazards and precedence of information
Arrangements for presenting GHS label elements
Special labeling arrangements
Uniform safety data sheet (SDS) content and format
GHS
when inspection is complete the findings should be discussed with one in a ‘’
closing interview
if no violations found the CO should ‘’ if Violations found the CO should
congrats owner , review and discuss
immediate threats to life saftey , such as locked or obstructed exits should be
immediately fixed b4 CO leaves
a ‘’ amount of time should be given to fix less critical things
reasonable
when should the CO set a date and time for the next inspection
during closing p. 276
documentation must be x3 “” as possible :
C
A
R
complete, accurate and readable
changes in the ‘’ plan, Processes use or Access and occupancy Status are all important to Responders. This information can be used to update ‘’’’
floor plan
Pre-incident Surveys
each fire section system must meet requirements of ‘’
NFPA 71 ( fire alarm and singling code )
inspectors or CO’s personnel will not determine the systems ‘’, only how well it is ‘’
adequacy , maintained
inspection personal are not usually required to ‘’ pumps .
test
When inspecting, one should check the ‘’ x2 regarding pumps
pump maintenance , test records
Nfpa 20 require them pumps to be run for at least ‘’ per week
30
Co should look for signs for x5 to the pump or associated piping:
W,O,R,C,D
water, oil, rust, corrosion or damage p. 277
when inspecting standpipes and hoses systems , CO should perform the following :
Check the hose cabinets to see that they are free of ‘’ and ‘’
Check the hose for signs of ‘’ (water stains, cuts, or abrasions on its surface).
Feel the hose between the ‘’ and the first ‘’. If water has accumulated there, the valve may be partially ‘‘or ‘’
’’ the hose on 1½-inch (38 mm) hose connections. Test the valve by ‘’ it to allow water to flow into a bucket held close to the outlet.
Check the ‘’ of the hose threads and gasket while the hose is disconnected.
Remove the hose’’ , and check its ‘’ and gasket.
Remove the ‘’ and check the ‘’ on 2½-inch (65 mm) hose connections, and connect a pressure gauge to the outlet so that the valve can be opened to test it.
Check the’’ to ensure that the threads are undamaged and the inlets are free of ‘’.
Check the hose cabinets to see that they are free of trash and debris.
Check the hose for signs of deterioration (water stains, cuts, or abrasions on its surface).
Feel the hose between the connection and the first fold. If water has accumulated there, the valve may be partially open or leaking.
Disconnect the hose on 1½-inch (38 mm) hose connections. Test the valve by opening it to allow water to flow into a bucket held close to the outlet.
Check the condition of the hose threads and gasket while the hose is disconnected.
Remove the hose nozzle, and check its operation and gasket.
Remove the cap and check the threads on 2½-inch (65 mm) hose connections, and connect a pressure gauge to the outlet so that the valve can be opened to test it.
Check the system’s fire department connection (FDC) to ensure that the threads are undamaged and the inlets are free of debris.
what ‘’ consist of a water source, distribution piping and one or more individual sprinklers
auto sprinkler system
what system can get water to a fire faster but could freeze
wet systems
3 types of dry systems are?
‘’’ closed sprinkler attached to piping , that contains air under pressure ( put where there is a subject to freezing )
’’ piping and open sprinkler. used to active water or foam p. 278
’’ same as dry but also has a secondary detection system ( both systems must work b4 extinguishing agents ) ( installed where sensitive to accidental water damage )
A dry pipe - closed sprinkler attached to piping , that contains air under pressure ( put where there is a subject to freezing )
preaction - same as dry but also has a secondary detection system ( both systems must work b4 extinguishing agents ) ( installed where sensitive to accidental water damage )
deluge - piping and open sprinkler. used to active water or foam p. 278
Dry chem systems must conform to NFPA ?
17
Dry chems are used for rapid ‘’ of fire but ‘’ is unlikely
rapid extinguishment of fire is required but reignition is unlikely
dry chem system are either ‘’’ or ‘’
engineered or pre engineered
’’ systems are specifically calculated and constructed for a particular occupancy
engineered
’’ systems are designed to protect an area in an occupancy
pre - engineered
fixed dry chem systems use the same fire extinguishing agents as
portable dry chem ones.( nontoxic and nonconducting , hard to clean up )
2 main types of dry chem systems are
local and total flood
most common type of dry chem systems >
local ( discharge directly onto a small area like cooking surfaces in kitchen )
when inspecting ‘’’ systems one should look for :
discharge nozzles not to heavily coated with grease or other material so they can work
manual controls to see that the saftey seal have not broken
fusible links are clean and intact
pressure gauge on agenct tanks within operating range
service tag was done within a year
local
what dry chem systems are installed in areas such as paint spray baths , where hvy cloud agent is needed to fill entire space when discharged
total flood
total flood systems may be’‘or ‘’ , auto by f’’
auto , manual , fusible links
Cos should also make sure the following are meet :
Manual pull stations are ‘’
seals and tampers indicator are ‘’
Occupants are ‘’ with system
multiple manual activation devices are located at ‘’ from compartment areas
Manual pull stations are unobstructed
seals and tampers indicator are intact
Occupants are familiar with system
multiple manual activation devices are located at various exits from compartment areas p. 280
what chem systems are designed to be installed in commercial range hoods, plenums and ducts
wets systems
Typical wet chem systems use an agenct that is a mixture of potassium ‘’ or ‘’
water , potassium or potassium acetate .
’’’’ chem are great for cooking oil related applications ( the separate the fuel from the oxygen )
wet
Carbon dioxide systems are designed to conform NFPA ‘’ and have 2 types ‘’ or ‘’
12, local or total flood
total flood systems must have an ‘‘to warn anyone in the room
alarm ( both auto and manual station have alarm b4 it comes out )
in auto mode , ‘’’’ systems are actuated by:
HEAT
RATE OF RISE
SMOKE
FLAME
Carbon dioxide
’’’ and ‘’ extinguishing agents contain ATOMS from serious of elements WHICH INCLUDE: fluorine , chlorine , bromine and iodine
Halons
halogenated
halogenated agents are effective on class ‘’ or ‘’ fires
b and c
halon was designed as a
‘’ agenct that leafs no residue but it has been restricted due to
cleaning , harm pp and ozone layer
’’ protocol of 1897 provided a phase out of halon agents after jan 1 1994
montreal
criteria for exemption for ‘’ systems is :
necessary for human health (aircraft engine rooms )
no other alternatives
all other actions have been used b4 going to this
the substitute ‘’ agent is not enough
halon
halon systems installed prior to montreal protocol may remain in use until
used on fire or leaks off p. 28 1
in Portable fire extinguishers 2 halons are still used which are they’’ WHICH ONE IS MORE COMMON
halon 1211( most common _
halon 1301 ( more common in fixed systems )
halon system may be ‘’ or ;;
pre engineered or engineered
Most halon systems are ‘’ for a particular occupancy that they are installed.
engineered
all ‘’ systems have the following parts:
tank and piping
value actuator
nozzle
detector
manual release
control panel
halon
Halon systems are equipped with an abort switch to ‘’ inadvertent systems actuation so it doesn’t get ‘’
cancel , wasted
during inspection of halon co should
check to see if there is a loss of agent
detectors and discharge nozzles are not obstructed
check the service tags make sure within time
ex of ‘’’’ agenct replacement include:
fm-200 ( alternative to 1301 )
inergen ( blend of 3 gases nirgrogen, argon and CD )
halon
WHAT ‘'’systems would be found where water alone is not enough theses system can be found in:
flammable or combustible liquids
aircraft hangers
places with rolled paper or tactile stores
foam
foam systems are designed to produce ‘’ examples are
protien
fluoro protien ( FFP) or aqueous film forming (AFFF) p. 282
systems are designed in ‘'’x3 expansion foams to conform nfpa 11
low medium and high
all portable fire extinguishers must be installed and maintained account to NFPA
10 p. 283
Portable fire extinguishers use different methods to expel the extinguishing agent. They can be broadly classified according to the method used, which include x3
SP
Co
PO
stored pressure
cartridge operate
pump operated
requirements fIRE extinguisher distribution are contained in nfpa
10 . class A, B, C, D, K
Following factors are important in the selection and distribution of fire ‘’’’:
Chemical and physical characteristics of the combustibles that might be ignited
Potential severity (size, intensity, and rate of advancement) of any resulting fire
Location of the extinguisher
Effectiveness of the extinguisher for the hazard in question
Personnel available to operate the extinguisher, including their physical abilities, emotional characteristics, and the extinguisher training they have received
Environmental conditions that may affect the use of the extinguisher (temperature, winds, presence of toxic gases or fumes)
Anticipated adverse chemical reactions between the extinguishing agent and burning material
Any health and occupational safety concerns such as exposure of the extinguisher operator to heat and products of combustion during fire fighting efforts
Inspection and service required to maintain the extinguishers
p. 285
extinguishers
what is essential regarding fire extinguishers
placement
if a extinguisher are placed in cabinets in a rated wall what must happen
it must be rated the same as the wall
when placed properly extinguishers should be
visible and well signed
near points of egress
unblocked /unobstructed

2 general schools of thought about what should be included in a preincident plan
which are
- assumes all interior structures fires behave in the same way , predictable unless there is something to cause it to be different
- much more involved and time consuming
main advantage to second approach is Regarding preincident surveys
likelihood of critical items Of information being omitted from the plan is very low .297
