Each session is conducted at the Fire Training Center,.Nickajack.

These exercises provide actual practice in fighting fires similar. in nature to that which may be encountered during a plant fire emergency.

These sessions provide experience in fire extinguishment under strenuous conditions encountered in firefighting.

Annual fire brigade training also includes confined space rescue nd hazardous material response refresher training.

A 'inimum of one drill per shift per year is unnanounced.

Unnanounced drills, are not to be scheduled or performed closer than four-weeks apart.

D ~

Each fire drill is critiqued to identify training needs.

E.

At least one drill per shift per year is performed on a

"backshift" for each fire brigade.

F.

Fire Brigade members responding to unannounced drills are not to be aware that a drill is being planned until it has begun.

G.

Fire drills include actual response to a simulated fire.

H.

Each drill is preplanned, preferably using the individual plant prefire plan as a guide.

The area and type of fire chosen for the drill should differ from those used in the previous drills so that fire brigade members are trained in fighting fires in various plant locations.

Each drill effort should be structured so that the fire brigade can practice as a team.

1) fire alarm effectiveness, time required to notify and assemble the fire

brigade, and selection, placement and use of required equipment; 2) each fire brigade members 'nowledge of his/her role in firefighting strategy and ability to conform with established procedures; 3) each fire brigade member's ability to use firefighting and emergency equipment in a manner similar to that of a real fire and 4) the fire brigade leader's ability to direct the firefighting effort as to thoroughness, accuracy and effectiveness.

Written critiques of each drill are prepared to assess the fire brigade's and individual member's performance.

At three-year intervals, a randomly selected, unannounced drill is critiqued by consultants performing a triennial audit of the fire protection and,prevention program.

0 Ke Performance deficiencies of the fire brigade or individual fire brigade. members are remediedi by scheduling, additional training.

for the: fire brigade members.

Unsatisfactory drill performance should be followed by a repeat. drill within seven (7) days, but in all,'ases no later, than thirty (30) days.

All retraining for the fire brigade and individual members is documented and placed on file.

L.

Annual briefings are conducted for the local fire department officers and firefighters to assure their continued understanding of their role in the event of a fire emergency at the plant.

The annual briefings are required for only those local fire departments that have a unilateral aid agreement with the plant.

Briefings are conducted by the staff of the Fire Training Academy.

The annual briefings may be conducted at an offsite location if it is deemed appropriate.

M.

A fire drill, including participation by the respective offsite fire department organizations that have active contracts to provide firefighting and equipment response to the plants, is conducted annually.

This drill will also include all potentially affected plant disciplines on duty at the time of the drill.

Written record of the general plant employees'ndividual participation is not required.

Evaluation of the general plant employees'articipation in the drill is noted in the fire brigade drill critique.
