The FPP does not identify the leaders of the fire brigade (" scene leaders") and the organizational structure of the brigade does, not provide sufficient guidance to assure that a brigade leader will be on duty at the site at all times as stipulated by Section 1.f of Attachment I to the NRC's fire protection guidelines.
