5 Fire Prevention Plan Emergency Procedures Refer to the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) otherwise, if you discover a fire: Activate the fire alarm, Call 911 or Emergency Services and report the location of the fire, If properly trained, an employee should utilize the nearest properly maintained and graded fire extinguisher to expel the fire, if feasible, Shut the door on the fire to prevent rapid spread, Provide information to emergency response personnel. Fire Prevention Plan Scope The purpose of the fire plan is to eliminate the causes of fire and prevent loss of life and property by fire. It provides Hoopa Tribal employees with information and guidelines which will assist them recognizing, reporting and controlling fire hazards. Program Elements 1. Identifies potential fire hazards and their proper handling and storage procedures, distinguishes potential ignition sources and their control procedures, and describes fire protection equipment and/or systems used to control fire hazards. 2. Identifies (by job title) those responsible for maintaining equipment and systems installed to prevent or control ignition or fires. 3. Identifies (by job title) those responsible for the control and accumulation of flammable or combustible material. 4. Describes good housekeeping procedures necessary to insure the control of accumulated flammable and combustible waste material and residues to avoid a fire emergency. 5. Provides training to employees with regards to fire hazards to which they may be exposed. Potential Fire Hazards: Identification and Control Fires, like all other types of accidents, are largely preventable. Common Causes of Fires Overloaded electrical circuits, unsafe wiring and defective extension cords Appliances such as coffee pots/makers, hot plates and other heating devices left on not in use. Unattended cooking Overheated motors and other equipment not maintained properly Improper use of non-electrical heating systems (space heaters) Hoopa Valley Tribal Fire Prevention Plan Page 5 of 8

6 Improper disposal of smoking material such as emptying ash trays in trash cans and/or coming in contact with other combustible material Not using an ash tray leaving a lighted cigarette on combustible material such as furniture Improper use, handling and storage of flammable material (gasoline, solvents, paints) Improper use of candles, Christmas tree lights and associated electrical cords Poor housekeeping which results in accumulation of combustibles such as paper, boxes, oil-soaked rags, and flammable liquids Improper use of welding torches and equipment Chemical Handling and Storage Leaks, spills, and overflows must be avoided. Storage of flammable and combustible liquids in open containers is not permitted Chemicals, specifically, flammable and combustible liquids, should be stored in appropriate and approved cabinets Incompatible materials in storage areas must be segregated. Specifically, separate ignitable material from oxidizers or sources of ignition. In general, do not store different types of incompatibles in the same container Fire Extinguishers Type of Fires Fires are classified into four general categories depending on the type of materials or fuels involved. The type of fire determines the type of extinguisher used in the emergency. Fire extinguishers are rated by their effectiveness to extinguish different types of fires. Accordingly, all fire extinguishers are identified with common symbols to indicate on which fire are most effective. Class A Fires Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper, rags, rubbish and other solids. Class B Fires Class B fires occur in the vapor/air mixture over the surface of flammable and combustible liquids such as gasoline, fuel oil, paint thinner, hydraulic fluids, flammable cleaning solvents and other hydrocarbon fuels. Class C Fires Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment. Class D Fires Class D fires involve combustible metals such as magnesium. Hoopa Valley Tribal Fire Prevention Plan Page 6 of 8

7 Training Fire Extinguisher training classes are available through the Hoopa Tribal Safety Office (TSO) or online at and can be a certified training if completed by the Tribal Safety Officer. Maintenance of Equipment Types of Fire Protection Equipment The basic types of fire protection equipment and systems used at the Hoopa Tribe to control or extinguish fires are: Portable fire extinguishers Sprinkler systems Chemical types extinguishing systems Inspection Equipment installed to prevent accidental ignition of combustible material, e.g. grounding wires or dust collection equipment, must be routinely inspected by the Plant Management Department of the Hoopa Valley Tribe to ensure proper operation. Portable Fire Extinguisher Service HVT Plant Management is generally responsible for oversight of all fire protection equipment, and specifically maintains the portable fire extinguisher service program. Eureka Oxygen Company may be under contract by some departments to install, inspect and maintain fire extinguishers as well. Report all problems with fire protection equipment, by calling the Hoopa Tribal Safety Office at (530) , extension 15. Control of Flammable or Combustible Waste Materials Ordinary Trash HVT Plant Management Department (Custodial Services) is responsible for collecting ordinary combustibles, such as paper, wood, plastic and cloth. If you have any questions concerning the disposal of ordinary trash, call (530) Hazardous Waste Hoopa Valley Tribal EPA (TEPA) is responsible for collecting and disposing of some types of hazardous waste. However most hazardous waste, including chemical, biohazard, and radioactive wastes will need to be disposed of by Humboldt County Hazardous Materials Unit at (707) If you have any questions concerning the disposal of hazardous waste, call TEPA at (530) Housekeeping Good housekeeping is basic to fire safety and should be a major concern in every type of occupancy, from the simplest dwelling to the most complex research facility. The following general preventive measures apply. Hoopa Valley Tribal Fire Prevention Plan Page 7 of 8
