VISITOR and GUEST GUIDELINESRecognizing that training of the nature that takes place at STC presents the possibility of injury to participants and observers, it is the guideline of the STC that the presence of persons not directly involved in training at the facility should be avoided whenever possible. This guideline must be tempered with consideration that the facility is a public location and there is workflow that necessitates individuals to enter and depart the facility without prior notice. Additionally, convenience of students and staff requires some consideration for visitors during the period before and after classes, as well as during lunch and other breaks.

For the purpose of this guideline, “VISITORS” are defined as including, but not limited to:

Instructors not associated with training presently being conducted at the facility. Members of emergency services agencies not enrolled in training presently being

conducted at the facility. Employees of the facility not present for work purposes or enrolled in training

presently being conducted. Chiefs and supervisors of students enrolled in training programs. Friends and family of students and instructors involved in training programs. Interested members of the general public.

All visitors to the facility must report to the STC office on their arrival and advise the STC staff on-duty of their presence. These individuals will be issued a visitor pass that must be displayed on their person while on site. This pass must be returned prior to leaving the facility (Visitors may be asked to surrender a driver’s license or other ID in exchange). If the employee is not present in the office, the prospective visitor must wait until a STC employee returns.

Under no circumstances will visitors be permitted at training evolution areas. Any visitor failing to comply with these directions will be removed from the facility immediately.

For the purpose of this policy, “GUESTS” are defined as including, but not limited to:

Individuals who have made, or have had made for them, prior arrangements with STC staff to more closely observe or participate in training activities. This may include:

Elected officials. Officers/members of emergency services organizations interested in the

capabilities and facilities of the STC. Other VIPs.

Prospective guests and their hosts are encouraged to make their intentions known to facility staff as far in advance as practical to ensure full consideration of their request.

6

Level of access and participation for these individuals will be determined on a case by case basis depending on training, insurance, supervision available, and intent of visit. Final decision on these issues rests solely with the Fire/Rescue Director.

It is not the intention of this guideline to limit facility access for employees of the facility or Cape Fear Community College, when these individuals are present and conducting official business. Further, it is not the intention of this guideline to restrict access to personnel visiting the facility to conduct official business with STC employees.

CASCADE AND COMPRESSOR SYSTEMS A compressor and cascade system have been located in the storage area at the end of the Commercial Burn Building. All significant functions of the system shall be monitored by a Scott X4 microprocessor Controller. The unit shall be mounted in the fill station control panel so that the entire system can be controlled and operated from one location. The BAC (Breathing Apparatus Cylinder) charge system is a separate system and is designed to safely and efficiently recharge BACs in a protective ‘chamber’ that will contain all fragments in the event of a BAC failure. The system is designed so that 2 BACs are charged within the chamber while 2 BACs are attached and made ready on the outside of the chamber.

OPERATION The compressor shall be operated by personnel trained and included on the STC Operator List for this equipment. The cascade systems can be used by anyone who is experienced with this type of system. Determination of adequate experience rests with the OIC.

CLEAN UP AND RESTORATIONIf the OIC feels that he will need more air during the evolution he shall notify the STC employee who will operate the compressor to fill the in house system.

Following the evolution the STC employee shall fill the system if air has been used from more than one bank.

11

COMMERCIAL BURN BUILDING

The commercial burn building consists of 2 stories which have a total of 6,000 square ft. The burn facility includes a variety of areas for training, i.e., grating room, dikes training, maze room, marine engine area and control room simulation. Two live burn LP gas props are included in the commercial burn building.

The floors are designed to closely simulate real-life fire attack problems encountered in similar commercial buildings. The windows and doors consist of steel plate components for durability. Windows are equipped with latching devices that are capable of providing for fairly realistic entry challenges.

USEThis structure is to be utilized for any non-fire evolutions that can not effectively be taught elsewhere on the site. The scope of the scenarios possible is limited only by the imagination of the personnel and any facility limitations outlined below.

OPERATIONS/SAFETYOverviewAll live-fire evolutions conducted in the burn building will be in conjunction with Burn Facilitators (BFs). Their directions and decisions are to be considered final during any evolution. It is their responsibility to take input from the class instructors (whether organizationally appointed or PA State Fire Academy certified), and mesh them with facility policies and procedures to develop scenarios that meet the following prioritized objectives:

1. Safe for all participants including students, staff, and observers.2. In the best interest of the physical plant.3. Accomplish realistic educational objectives.

ProceduralA first aid station must be established and manned by personnel with a minimum of PA DOH First Responder certification. Appropriate BLS equipment is available from the STC employee. The designated first aid station MUST be manned at all times when evolutions are underway. EMT should be on site during any burn. Personnel may “swap-out” during a class to allow all individuals an opportunity to participate.

A walk-through of the areas to be used must be conducted for any persons not familiar with the layout of the structure. All personnel must understand the operation of the emergency position of the forcible entry door latches.

No use of attack lines larger than 2 inch shall be permitted in or on the burn building.

There shall be no prying on doors or windows other than in a way to activate the forcible entry props (Eg. No prying of hinge sides, cutting of components, etc.)

During all evolutions in the structure an accountability system must be utilized. The STC will provide a functional system for use, or the agency may elect to

12

utilize its own system if desired.

The accountability system must be managed by a Safety Officer (SO) or an assistant working under the auspices of the SO. This individual will be responsible for conducting personnel accountability reviews as per organizational policies, but not less frequently than at the beginning and end of each scenario. Failure of a PAR to prove out shall result in the RIT being activated and the IC to take immediate steps to locate missing personnel.

The SO will be equipped with a tablet that allows the Temperature Monitoring System (TMS) to be monitored. This will allow the SO to move about the structure and perform other necessary tasks while still having access to an indicator of internal conditions.

During all live fire evolutions a Rapid Intervention Team must be established. This team must consist of a minimum of two firefighters who are fully geared and prepared to enter the structure to assist/affect rescue of an individual in distress. This team may be utilized during the scenario for other functions as determined by organizational policies (throwing ladders, helping to stretch hose, etc.) but should be in the general vicinity of the SO and prepared to be deployed in an emergency.

Use of the burn building will be weather permitting. The final decision as to whether a class will take place rests with the Director.

PersonnelThe Officer in Charge (OIC) of the organization using the structure is responsible for assuring that each student entering the burn building has demonstrated competency in SCBA operation and general safety practices. NOTE: the OIC may or may not be the person who is the designated Incident Commander (IC) for any given scenario.

Pants and long sleeve shirt beneath gear are recommended for all live fire evolutions.

During operations, all personnel in the ‘hot zone’ must wear full protective gear.

All personnel entering the building when any form of burn is taking place must be attired in full protective clothing including bunker coat, pants, helmet, gloves, hood, SCBA and PASS device.

It is the intent of this policy to require, as a minimum, the following persons to be present during a live fire evolution:
