R2. FIRE SAFETY AND PREVENTION PLAN

R2. Fire Safety and Prevention Plan It is the purpose of the Pinellas County Job Corps Center (PCJCC) Fire Safety and Prevention Plan (FSPP) to establish clear rules and guidelines that will safely, efficiently, and effectively prevent fires from occurring on the PCJCC campus, and evacuate all Center staff, students and visitors in the event of a fire emergency. The FSPP is written to meet compliance standards to the Job Corps Policy Requirements Handbook (PRH) and is in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Life Safety Code 101 requirements as referenced in 29 CFR 1910.39 and 1910.157. It is the position of the PCJCC to provide clear procedures for fire prevention, detection and response. The Center will provide training for all staff and Students in fire prevention, detection and response. The Fire alarm system is monitored by the Security Department twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and three hundred sixty-five days a year. The alarm may be triggered by heat and smoke detectors or by any individual activating a manual pull station. All alarms will be investigated by Security staff, to determine whether or not the alarm is false, and when necessary, Saint Petersburg Fire Rescue will be called to respond to a fire. The Dormitories have an additional Fire Detection System, with smoke alarms in each room that report to the Residential Advisor Office station for each wing. When these alarms sound, the PCJCC staff in these areas are responsible for investigating the alarm and reporting to Security for follow-up. R.2.a. Fire Prevention Plan The PCJCC conducts an annual inspection of the Center’s fire alarm system and sprinkler system through an outside contractor. Alarms are tested monthly at the time of the Center’s fire drill. Monthly inspections of suppression equipment, emergency lighting and exit signs are conducted by the PCJCC Maintenance Department. R2.a.1. Inspections The Safety Officer or Manager of Safety and Security ensures the following inspections occur:

2 | P a g e

R2.1.a. Fire Alarm Systems The Pinellas County Job Corps Center uses a Faraday system manufactured by Siemens Building Technologies, which was installed and is serviced by Alarm & Communication Systems Incorporated (ASCI), located at 4301 W. South Avenue Tampa, Florida 33614 Phone: (813) 873-1851 Fax: (813)879-0768. ASCI is the only authorized service provider for the PCJCC and conducts annual inspections of the Faraday system to ensure its operability. In the Event a fire is reported and the alarm system fails. Security Officers will respond to the location the fire is reported and notify the building’s occupants of the fire by three short blasts of the hand held air horns kept on hand in the Security Office. These three bursts are the signal for staff and students to evacuate the area immediately. The Fire Alarm System is tested by use in the monthly fire drills. To activate a drill, the Safety Officer or Safety and Security Manager activates the fire alarm system by utilizing one of the pull stations for each building to be tested. R2.1.b. Sprinkler systems The Sprinkler system is visually inspected for damage; cover plates being painted over or blocked, objects stored too close to sprinkler heads or leaks monthly during the Monthly Facility Safety Inspection. R2.1.c. Illuminated exit signs Pinellas County Job Corps Center emergency exits are clearly marked by signs, lights or both. Egress plans are clearly posted in all residential dormitory rooms and classrooms on Center. Staff and Students may not block fire exits with equipment, supplies, furniture or other objects and materials at any time. Exit lights and signs are checked for visibility and function during the Monthly Facility Safety Inspection. R2.1.d. Emergency Lighting All emergency lighting requires an annual 90-minute test in addition to the monthly check. Monthly and annual tests must be documented within the eMAINT PM System.

R2.1.e. Fire extinguishers. The Safety Officer is responsible for ensuring that adequate portable extinguishing equipment is distributed throughout each building and facility of the PCJCC. This position is also responsible for conducting staff and Student training in proper use of fire extinguishers or suppression equipment. Fire extinguisher training will be conducted annually for staff (see Use of Fire Extinguishers). All PCJCC staff and Student will be trained and responsible for reporting damaged, discharged or missing fire extinguishers to the Safety Officer, who will also ensure that extinguishers are filled with proper chemicals and arrange for annual service by an approved service contractor.

Fire extinguishers and equipment shall be kept in designated places and unobstructed from view and accessibility. Additionally, fire extinguishers will be carried in all GSA fleet vehicles and Security vehicles operated by the Center. The Security Department shall institute necessary action to have drivers check fire extinguishers monthly (SEE SOP CP-012 VEHICLE SAFETY PLAN)

Extinguishers that need servicing or recharging shall be reported to the safety office.

3 | P a g e

After an evacuation, and only if it is safe to do so, fire extinguishers may be used to fight Small incipient fires before the arrival of St. Petersburg Fire Rescue. Fire Extinguishers are inspected monthly by the Safety Officer or Inspection Team as outlined in SAF5.15R2A. The inspection tags are then initialed and noted on each extinguisher. R2.2. Fire Drills The Pinellas County Job Corps Center conducts monthly fire drills during high student/staff activity levels and when students are in the dormitories. Center Safety Officer will document the accountability and timeliness of fire drills. Staff who is responsible for an area (i.e. a classroom or residential area) will ensure immediate and safe evacuation when the alarm system is active. These staff members will physically check their designated area of responsibility to ensure complete evacuation, and upon completion of this inspection, fire wardens will notify security that their assigned areas are clear. Staff who are responsible for an area as described above, will exit the building and assist with accountability procedures and crowd management. 1. All Students and staff will assemble in their assigned location quickly, quietly and orderly. There will

be no use of headphones or cell phones during a fire drill. 2. All staff members will have a roster of individuals in their charge and take role at the time of assembly

to ensure that all are present and/or accounted for. 3. Once attendance has been taken, rosters will be submitted to the Safety Officer or their designee. 4. All staff members will ensure that no one re-enters a building until the all-clear has been given. The Safety Officer is responsible for conducting monthly fire drills both during heavy staff and Students activity periods as well as during low activity periods and documenting accountability and efficiency of these drills with a minimum of the following information included: 1. Location of the facility: PCJCC 500 22nd STREET SOUTH ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA 33712. Which

include: Security, Administration, Health & wellness, Student Service, Training Areas, Cafeteria, both dormitory, recreation, property, and Center Maintenance.

2. Date and Time of Drill 3. Time required to evacuate 4. Accurate headcount of staff and students present or accounted for.

Drills may take place at any time, during any shift. After Hours Drills After the training day, fire drills will be conducted by Safety Officer and/or Security. Residential Advisors are trained in how to activate and reset pull stations and the annunciator panels in their areas of responsibility. Recreation staff are trained in how to activate and reset pull stations and the annunciator panel in their areas of responsibility. When drills of their area are complete, documentation is done by the safety officer or the safety security manager.

R2.3. Fire Watch Fire Watch takes place in the event that the fire alarm system is not functioning properly or is out of service for maintenance. During any period of service the notification is interrupted, Staff in responsible charge of their areas will act as fire wardens (see section R2.(3)(a) Fire Wardens).

4 | P a g e

During non-business hours where buildings and areas are not occupied, Security Staff will include the interior of these areas in their rounds and look for unusual sights, smells or atmospheric changes that could indicate fire. These rounds will be noted in the Officer’s shift report. An inspection checklist that documents that the area under fire watch is inspected at least hourly 24/7 until the fire watch is lifted. Security is responsible for the fire watch, however; other staff may be engaged to actually conduct the fire watch. See Appendix C R2.3.a. Fire Wardens During normal training hours, staff in responsible charge of an area act as Fire Wardens. Classroom staff are present during the training day and are alert to any unusual sights, smells or atmospheric changes that may be caused by fire, and have access to contact the Security Desk at ext. 2152907. During Afterhours operation, Security staff is charged with keeping the Center safe. Security Officers will during the course of their regular rounds, inspect the interiors of these buildings for signs of smoke or fire 24 hours a day. Security Officers will contact the Security Office via 2-way radio in the event of a fire. Fire Wardens is listed in appendix B R2.3.b. Equipment Security Officers have access to portable air horns as an alternative notification system to the fire alarm system, with which to notify Students, visitors and staff in the event of a fire. The signal for a fire is three short blasts from the air horn followed by a verbal announcement, “fire.” This is repeated throughout each building. Secuity Officers carry on their GEM vehicle at least one five-pound all-purpose fire extinguisher in addition to the extinguishers mounted throughout the Center. R.2.a (c) Notification Process 1. If an automated alarm system is activated, proceed to step 2. 2. Visual confirmation of a fire will be made by staff in responsible charge of that area. 3. If alarm has not sounded, staff verifying fire will activate pull station. 4. Staff will then notify the Security Department, who will contact St. Petersburg Fire and Rescue at 911

and direct them to the fire. 5.20 R.2.a b.

R2.c.2. Students All Pinellas County Job Corps Center Students will be trained to their assigned evacuation routes and assembly areas, how to report fires or fire hazards and the location of the smoking area during their Career Foundations Period. Area appropriate fire reporting procedures will be trained to in the respective areas (i.e. dormitory, vocational training area, etc.) Disposal of combustible materials or flammable substances will also be covered in the areas of the center that are appropriate for that particular substance. R2.d. Documentation Documentation of fire safety training, drills, and inspections must be maintained on center for three years and made available for review upon request. A monthly summary of all fire drills will be documented using the form at Appendix D. The summary will be reviewed during the center’s monthly safety meeting to determine if/how fire drills can be improved. A copy of the fire drill summary will be included in the minutes of the monthly center safety meeting. R2.e. Incipient Fire Suppression and Portable Fire Extinguishers R2.e.1. Fires in their initial or beginning stages that can be controlled or extinguished using a portable fire extinguisher or Class II standpipe without the need for protective clothing or equipment may be handled one of two ways:

12 | P a g e

Evacuating without attempting to extinguish the fire or Evacuating all or most of the building’s occupants to the designated assembly area and allowing those who are properly trained and designated to use portable fire extinguishers. Use of Fire Extinguishers: In the event that a fire is encountered, and this fire is the size of a standard trash can, and if—and only if—the individual feels confident that they can safely do so, then the individual can attempt to use a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Use of a fire extinguisher is not complicated, however the stress of dealing with a dangerous element such as fire can make using suppression devices challenging. The acronym P.A.S.S. is used to ensure the proper use of a fire extinguisher. P.A.S.S. stands for Pull Aim Squeeze Sweep: PASS Pull- The first step is to pull the pin (it usually has the inspection tag attached to it) that prevents the handle from being squeezed. Aim- The second step is to aim the spray nozzle, or if attached the hose nozzle, at the fire. Aim low at the base of the fire. Squeeze- The third step is to squeeze the handle to spray the contents. Remember a standard fire extinguisher has less than 30 seconds of spray time. Sweep- The final step is to sweep back and forth as you spray the base of the fire. As a rule, call 911 or have someone call before you attempt to put out a fire. Even if a small fire is successfully extinguished, St. Petersburg Fire & Rescue should complete an investigation. Nothing contained in the standard operating procedures will prohibit any person from making every effort to extinguish a fire prior to the arrival of Saint Petersburg Fire Rescue, as long as:

1. The Security Department has been notified and; 2. The individual attempting to suppress the fire is not putting themselves at risk of injury or death.

The following procedures will be followed in such an event:

1. Sound the fire alarm/call for help 2. Begin the evacuation process 3. Attempt to extinguish the fire if the fire is no greater than the size of a trash can. If the fire

becomes large or the individual is not comfortable fighting the fire, exit the building and/or retreat to the evacuation area.

5.20.R2.e.2. Compliance Failure to comply with the Pinellas County Job Corps Fire Safety and Prevention Plan is a violation of the Center Safety rules and will not be tolerated. Disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment may occur for any staff person who fails to observe the requirements outlined in this document. Students who fail to comply will be subject to the Center’s behavior management program. The Pinellas County Job Corps Center Fire Prevention Plan is in compliance with CFR 1910.157. The Pinellas County Job Corps Center has based this plan on the structural rating of the Center buildings and the proximity of St. Petersburg Fire & Rescue.

The primary role of the Fire Watch personnel is to serve as a "human smoke detector"

Conduct a continuous patrol of the entire building, including corridors, hallways, laundry rooms, lobby, stairwells, recreation rooms, and any other common areas. Remain alert to signs of smoke and/or fire.

Being a “Human Smoke Detector”:

Remain attentive. Patrol your designated area at least once each half hour. Listen for in-room smoke detectors sounding. Look for observable signs of smoke and/or fire.

At first sign of smoke or fire, Fire Watch personnel must:

Pull the nearest fire alarm pull station. Exit the building, Alert security from the nearest safe phone or by using the two-way radio. Do not put yourself in jeopardy - if you suspect smoke and/or fire, exit the building; contacting

the USC Department of Public Safety as quickly as possible.
