SUBSTANTATON: Fre servce certfcaton/accredtaton s based upon a natonal set of standards whch are performance based. NFPA 1000 refers to them as "Job Performance Requrements". Therefore, the defnton of accredt", as stated, s ncorrect snce graduaton or advancement n an educatonal nsttuton s not necessary to satsfy job performance crtera. COMMTTEE ACTON: Reject. COMMTFEE STATEMENT: To accept ths wordng would narrow the meanng of ths term beyond the ntent of the commttee.

SUBSTANTATON: The words "Voluntary", "Nongovernmental", and "Assocaton" do not lend themselves for easy defnton. They do not sgnfcantly add to the defnton of "Accredtng Body". t s possble that a body whch s not voluntary, and/or s governmental and/or s an assodaton could operate a credble accredaton program. ndeed, some lcensng programs (.e., F.A.A plots) are very credble. COMMTrEE ACTON: Reect. COMMTrEE STATEMENT: The defnton s one that s accepted by natonal accredtng organzatons e.g., The Councl on Post Secondary Accredtaton.

Edt secton to read: "Examnatons shall be drawn from test bank(s) and/or job performance sklls mantaned by the certfyng entty." COMMTrEE STATEMENT: The commttee agreed wth the submtter that there s no absolute requrement that all questons for all certfcaton levels necessarly be contaned n a sngle test queston bank.

Senger, Offce of L State Fre Marshal RECOMMENDATON: Secton A-$-1.2 revse to read: "t s the ntent of the commttee that accredtaton, certfcaton, and standards makng should be conducted objectvely and ndependently. Actual conflcts of nterest should be avoded and the appearance of conflcts of nterest should be avoded as well. Thus, for example, t would be napproprate for an entty both to develop a standard and to certfy ndvduals to that standard. t would be natnapp roprate for ndvduals., representn, g ether a standards-makmg or an accredong body to exercme a staff, manageral or drectoral role n another body whch accredts to those standards or makes the standards for accredtaton, respectvely."

SUBSTANTATON: Snce the accredtaton functon s, by ts very nature, a peer group process, the above expanson of the appendx note clarfes the role that certfyng enttes may play as members of an accredtaton body. Leavng the orgnal porton of the note n place retans the strong emphass on avodng conflcts of nterest or appearance of those conflcts under any drctrmtances. COMMTYEE ACTON: Accept n Prncple n Part.

However, standards-makng organzatons wth scopes of actvtes beyond the standards-makng process may partcpate n accredtng bodes as legtmate nterest OU S." ~rl~antaton: A standards-makng body such as the natonal Fre Protecton A~sodaton has a scope sgnfcandy beyond that actvty. Ther partcpaton n a accredtaton organzaton should not be lmted by the language n ths standard. The appendx note would contnue to clearly state the necessty to avod conflcts of nterest or the appearance of a conflct of nterest. 116

PART (Log #4) (Chapter 3): Accept n Prncple SUBM'VrER: Hugh Pke, Tyndall AFB, FL COMMENT ON PROPOSAL NO: RECOMMENDATON: (a) Add the followng Arcraft Fre Suppresson and Rescue Fre Tranng Mockup and the comments as an Appendx to Standard nsert references to ths materal n the standard at paragraphs 3-3.5, 3-3.6, 3-3.7, 3-3.8, 3-3.9, 3-4.2, and Pre-ncdent plannng drectly affects a fre department's ablty to provde qualty resource protecton. Fre fghters must be traned, competent, and certfed to execute pre-ncdent plans. The lve-fre tranng program focuses on a fre fghter's ablty to work as a team member durng realstc and challengng tranng events. 2. These basc desgns for an arcraft fre/rescue tranng smulator challenge fre fghters and result n ncreased protecton for arports and arlnes. Smulator can be constructed wth low-cost materals, usually avalable n mantenance yards or publc works departments. Smulators can be equpped to use hydrocarbon fuels such asjeta or clean-burnng propane. (See Fgures 1-8 for detals.) (b) Paragraph 3-3.5, Runnng Fuel Fre. Ths requrement s met by allowng a contnuous, small stream of arcraft fuel flowng from the engne smulator nto a catch basn. The fuel s gnted, resultng n afre at the lead source. The fuel burns as t falls through the ar and gntes the surface fre n the catch basn. (See Fgure 2 detals.) (c) Paragraph 3-3.6, nteror Arcraft Fre. The fuselage and cabn secton should be constructed of steel frames and heavy metal skn that wll wthstand heat and rapd cool down. The smulator should be ft n length to allow a realstc cabn fre fghtng exercse. The scenaro ncludes burnng Class A materals n the smulator to create the condtons expected wth an nteror arcraft fre. (See Fgures 6 and 7 for detals.) (d) Paragraph 3-3.7, APU (Auxlary Power Unt) Fre. The APU fre s created by burnng fuel wthn a 6-n. steel ppe suspended from he wng. Ths addton s a reasonable smulaton of both the ntake and exhaust ports. (See Fgure 2 for detals.) (e) Paragraph 3-3.8, Wheel Assembly Fre. Salvaged tre rms can be welded onto the number 2 wng support. Fuel can flow from above or through a pressurzed devce around the rms or spray fuel on the rms to create a typcal arcraft tre assembly fre. (See Fgures 1 and 7 for detals.) (f) Paragraph 3-3.9, Ventlaton of Doors and Hatches. Ths desgn provdes for both normal and emergency means of entry and egress. Normal entry s made through a hnged door, mounted on, forward of the wng. Emergency entrance s made through two over wng openngs and one aft door. All emergency openngs are framed on " the sdes and bottom by angle ron. Ths allows for sectons of corrugated metal to be dropped nto place and removed after use. An addtonal hatch has been added to the top of the fuselage to smulate mltary arcraft and provde for vertcal ventlaton. (See Fgures 4 and 8 for detals.) (g) Paragraph 3-4.2, Access Through Normal and Emergency Hatches for Rescue. Complance wth ths requrement can be met by usng the same openngs dscussed n paragraph (h) Paragraph 3-4.3, Passenger Extracton and use of Rescue Equpment. Access to smulated passengers s possble by usng mechancal rescue equpment to force openngs n the corrugated metalpanels dscussed n paragraph These sectons can be forced or cut wth pneumatc cuttng devces or power saws. These metal sectons can be secured wth pns to allow the realstc use of other hydraulc rescue equpment. (See Fgures 5 and 6 for detals.) 117

The fuel s burnng as t falls through the ar, and there's a pool fre on e ground, or the burnng fuel can be runnng across the ground surface. The fuel can be free flowng or under pressure. These fuel fres are extremely dffcult to extngush. They must be recognzed and acton taken to extngush them early n the ncdent or accdent for a successful fre fghtng operaton. Typcally, these fre cannot be extngushed by smotherng agents such as aqueous flm-formng foam and smlar agents. Wth runnng fuel, the smotherng agent cannot seal the surface and exclude oxygen. Such fres are more successfully extngushed usng agents that nterfere wth the chemcal or chan reacton -- such as dry chemcal." SUBSTANTATON: None. COMMTrEE ACTON: Accept n Prncple.

SUBSTANTATON: The ncluson of a partcular tme lmt n the sample JPR "checklst" for ventng a peaked roof has no emprcal or legal bass, and s very msleadng to users of the 1003 Standard. The tme lmt was never dscussed by the NFPA 1001 Commttee at any of ts meetngs on the 1005 draft and s, n fact, a number drawn out of a hat. Users mght mstakenly beleve that there was some job study or factual bass for the 5 mnute lmt. Ths tme lmt s at odds wth and n contract to the rest of thejpr sample checklst nasmuch as the other checklst parts descrbe other parameters of performance very broadly and subjectvely. To specfy n the standarda certan number of mnutes for completon of ventng a peaked roof when no other aspect of performance s specfed (e.g., type of tools: axe or saw?) and there are no jobrelated justfcatons for such a tme lmt - could cause the user of the standard to volate federal, state and local laws whch protect job applcants and ncumbents from arbtrary and caprcous hrng and employment practces. 119
