FINISH SCHEDULEGENERAL REFERENCESUS Air Force fire Station Design Guide 1997 Page 6 CHAPTER 1A PURPOSEThis Design Guide provides the basic criteria to evaluate, plan, program. and Design standardized Air Force fire stationfacilities for the United States Air Force . This information is intended to make wing commanders, base civil engineers, firechiefs, and designers aware of the unique functional Design requirements for the facilities, and to provide a basis fordeveloping main and satellite fire Station upgrade and renovation of existing fire stations and the proper planning., programming, and Design of new facilities willensure the safety of all personnel and support our vision: "To Defend the United States Through Control and Exploitation ofAir and Space."B Design Guide SCOPE AND USEThis Design Guide applies to existing and future fire stations.

6 Criteria for determining project requirements, site evaluation andplanning, and overall facility Design should be used in addition to other Air Force and Department of Defense (DoD)documents. It is intended to supplement existing informational resources needed to identify project requirements andsuccessfully prepare project designs. Further information on individual projects and Design requirements must be obtained atthe installation Design Guide is not intended to restrict designs to single-story facilities only. Site circumstances might require the useof two-story structures. If used, optimize a two-story facility by locating personnel assigned to operations functions on thefirst floor, and limit second story occupancy to the administrative, fire alarm communications center, and fire PROJECT INITIATION. The information required to prepare a DD Form 1391, which initiates project development, is foundin Chapter 2. This includes consideration of other space criteria, overall building size, site evaluation, and special factors tobe included in the cost initiating a fire Station renovation project, consider the building's structural stability, age, and space availability toaccommodate all fire protection functions.

7 The location of existing stations and the ability of fire fighting vehicles to meetrequired response times to the runways and overruns may dictate the need for a new fire Station at a better SITE SELECTION. Site selection is generally part of the comprehensive planning process and is completed prior topreparing a DD Form 1391 for an individual project. However, site selection decisions are often reviewed and sometimesrevised based on the specific project developed in the 1391 phase. Guidance for this review is provided in Chapter 2, SectionC, Site Evaluation PROJECT DEFINITION. The Requirements and Management Plan (RAMP) defines the program for Design of an individualMilitary Construction (MILCO-N) project. It includes functional requirements, Design criteria, and cost information. Thematerial in this Design Guide provides the basis for preparing a RAMP, which requires the area programming guidance foundin Chapter 2, plus the site Design , building Design , and building systems concepts in Chapter 3.

8 Inaddition, any unique local requirements concerning the building project, Design criteria, architectural compatibility, andtechnical systems should be included in the Design . Chapters 2 through 5 of the fire Station Design Guide cover all Design phases, from space programming tocomplete Design . Space programming is defined in Chapter 2, with Design phase guidance specific to Air Force fire designs should conform to the overall project Design considerations covered in Chapter 3, including buildingorganization and circulation criteria. Preliminary and working drawings should reflect the functional area and space criteriaoutlined in Chapter 4. Through an illustrative Design in Chapter 5, an example of a typical fire Station building project isfeatured to help explain programming and Design guidance. Note that the floor plans shown in Figures 5-A and 5-B areexamples only to illustrate layout 6 provides the user with recommendations of interior materials and fire Station OVERVIEW.

9 fire stations support the Air Force firefighters' mission to provide fire protection to flightlineand facilities on base and fire prevention education and requirements vary for main and satellite fire stations. The number and types of fire fighting vehicles housed at eachstation are determined by the type of aircraft they support and the fire -flow demand, required to extinguish structural factors also dictate the number of personnel required to operate these new fire stations should have a conceptual planning study and headquarters civil engineering approval prior to continuingwith the project program and Air Force fire Station Design Guide 1997 Page 7 Specific functional requirements and Design criteria are determined by a variety of governmental entities, along with regionaland local standards. Refer to the General References support the firefighters' mission, it is crucial that thedesign of all fire Station facilities accommodate theequipment, the numerous unique functional requirements,and safety of the fire fighting Air Force fire Station Design Guide 1997 Page 8 CHAPTER 2 When planning and programming for fire stations, functions fall into three main categories: maintenance and apparatus ,which includes fire protection vehicle storage, maintenance, repair and supply support; administration and training ; and thegeneral residential and "living" areas, which should be separate from business functions.

10 A fourth category is an annex areafor the Air Force Reserves or Air National Guard that contains elements of all three categories combined into one FUNCTIONSSPACE CRITERIA1 MAINTENANCE AND apparatus . apparatus ROOM.
