R2. FIRE SAFETY AND PREVENTION PLAN
R2. Fire Safety and Prevention Plan
It is the purpose of the Pinellas County Job Corps Center (PCJCC) Fire Safety and Prevention Plan (FSPP) to
establish clear rules and guidelines that will safely, efficiently, and effectively prevent fires from occurring
on the PCJCC campus, and evacuate all Center staff, students and visitors in the event of a fire emergency.
The FSPP is written to meet compliance standards to the Job Corps Policy Requirements Handbook (PRH)
and is in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Life Safety Code 101 requirements
as referenced in 29 CFR 1910.39 and 1910.157.
It is the position of the PCJCC to provide clear procedures for fire prevention, detection and response. The
Center will provide training for all staff and Students in fire prevention, detection and response.
The Fire alarm system is monitored by the Security Department twenty-four hours a day, seven days a
week and three hundred sixty-five days a year. The alarm may be triggered by heat and smoke detectors
or by any individual activating a manual pull station. All alarms will be investigated by Security staff, to
determine whether or not the alarm is false, and when necessary, Saint Petersburg Fire Rescue will be
called to respond to a fire.
The Dormitories have an additional Fire Detection System, with smoke alarms in each room that report
to the Residential Advisor Office station for each wing. When these alarms sound, the PCJCC staff in these
areas are responsible for investigating the alarm and reporting to Security for follow-up.
R.2.a. Fire Prevention Plan
The PCJCC conducts an annual inspection of the Center’s fire alarm system and sprinkler system through
an outside contractor. Alarms are tested monthly at the time of the Center’s fire drill. Monthly inspections
of suppression equipment, emergency lighting and exit signs are conducted by the PCJCC Maintenance
Department.
R2.a.1. Inspections
The Safety Officer or Manager of Safety and Security ensures the following inspections occur:

2 | P a g e
R2.1.a. Fire Alarm Systems
The Pinellas County Job Corps Center uses a Faraday system manufactured by Siemens Building
Technologies, which was installed and is serviced by Alarm & Communication Systems Incorporated
(ASCI), located at 4301 W. South Avenue Tampa, Florida 33614 Phone: (813) 873-1851 Fax: (813)879-
0768. ASCI is the only authorized service provider for the PCJCC and conducts annual inspections of the
Faraday system to ensure its operability.
In the Event a fire is reported and the alarm system fails. Security Officers will respond to the location the
fire is reported and notify the building’s occupants of the fire by three short blasts of the hand held air
horns kept on hand in the Security Office. These three bursts are the signal for staff and students to
evacuate the area immediately.
The Fire Alarm System is tested by use in the monthly fire drills. To activate a drill, the Safety Officer or
Safety and Security Manager activates the fire alarm system by utilizing one of the pull stations for each
building to be tested.
R2.1.b. Sprinkler systems
The Sprinkler system is visually inspected for damage; cover plates being painted over or blocked, objects
stored too close to sprinkler heads or leaks monthly during the Monthly Facility Safety Inspection.
R2.1.c. Illuminated exit signs
Pinellas County Job Corps Center emergency exits are clearly marked by signs, lights or both. Egress plans
are clearly posted in all residential dormitory rooms and classrooms on Center. Staff and Students may
not block fire exits with equipment, supplies, furniture or other objects and materials at any time. Exit
lights and signs are checked for visibility and function during the Monthly Facility Safety Inspection.
R2.1.d. Emergency Lighting
All emergency lighting requires an annual 90-minute test in addition to the monthly check. Monthly and annual tests
must be documented within the eMAINT PM System.
R2.1.e. Fire extinguishers.
The Safety Officer is responsible for ensuring that adequate portable extinguishing equipment is
distributed throughout each building and facility of the PCJCC. This position is also responsible for
conducting staff and Student training in proper use of fire extinguishers or suppression equipment. Fire
extinguisher training will be conducted annually for staff (see Use of Fire Extinguishers).
All PCJCC staff and Student will be trained and responsible for reporting damaged, discharged or missing
fire extinguishers to the Safety Officer, who will also ensure that extinguishers are filled with proper
chemicals and arrange for annual service by an approved service contractor.
Fire extinguishers and equipment shall be kept in designated places and unobstructed from view and
accessibility. Additionally, fire extinguishers will be carried in all GSA fleet vehicles and Security vehicles
operated by the Center. The Security Department shall institute necessary action to have drivers check
fire extinguishers monthly (SEE SOP CP-012 VEHICLE SAFETY PLAN)
Extinguishers that need servicing or recharging shall be reported to the safety office.

3 | P a g e
After an evacuation, and only if it is safe to do so, fire extinguishers may be used to fight Small incipient
fires before the arrival of St. Petersburg Fire Rescue.
Fire Extinguishers are inspected monthly by the Safety Officer or Inspection Team as outlined in
SAF5.15R2A. The inspection tags are then initialed and noted on each extinguisher.
R2.2. Fire Drills
The Pinellas County Job Corps Center conducts monthly fire drills during high student/staff activity levels
and when students are in the dormitories. Center Safety Officer will document the accountability and
timeliness of fire drills. Staff who is responsible for an area (i.e. a classroom or residential area) will ensure
immediate and safe evacuation when the alarm system is active. These staff members will physically check
their designated area of responsibility to ensure complete evacuation, and upon completion of this
inspection, fire wardens will notify security that their assigned areas are clear. Staff who are responsible
for an area as described above, will exit the building and assist with accountability procedures and crowd
management.
1. All Students and staff will assemble in their assigned location quickly, quietly and orderly. There will
be no use of headphones or cell phones during a fire drill.
2. All staff members will have a roster of individuals in their charge and take role at the time of assembly
to ensure that all are present and/or accounted for.
3. Once attendance has been taken, rosters will be submitted to the Safety Officer or their designee.
4. All staff members will ensure that no one re-enters a building until the all-clear has been given.
The Safety Officer is responsible for conducting monthly fire drills both during heavy staff and Students
activity periods as well as during low activity periods and documenting accountability and efficiency of
these drills with a minimum of the following information included:
1. Location of the facility: PCJCC 500 22nd
STREET SOUTH ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA 33712. Which
include: Security, Administration, Health & wellness, Student Service, Training Areas, Cafeteria, both
dormitory, recreation, property, and Center Maintenance.
2. Date and Time of Drill
3. Time required to evacuate
4. Accurate headcount of staff and students present or accounted for.
Drills may take place at any time, during any shift.
After Hours Drills
After the training day, fire drills will be conducted by Safety Officer and/or Security. Residential Advisors
are trained in how to activate and reset pull stations and the annunciator panels in their areas of
responsibility. Recreation staff are trained in how to activate and reset pull stations and the annunciator
panel in their areas of responsibility. When drills of their area are complete, documentation is done by
the safety officer or the safety security manager.
R2.3. Fire Watch
Fire Watch takes place in the event that the fire alarm system is not functioning properly or is out of
service for maintenance. During any period of service the notification is interrupted, Staff in responsible
charge of their areas will act as fire wardens (see section R2.(3)(a) Fire Wardens).

4 | P a g e
During non-business hours where buildings and areas are not occupied, Security Staff will include the
interior of these areas in their rounds and look for unusual sights, smells or atmospheric changes that
could indicate fire. These rounds will be noted in the Officer’s shift report.
An inspection checklist that documents that the area under fire watch is inspected at least hourly 24/7
until the fire watch is lifted. Security is responsible for the fire watch, however; other staff may be engaged
to actually conduct the fire watch. See Appendix C
R2.3.a. Fire Wardens
During normal training hours, staff in responsible charge of an area act as Fire Wardens. Classroom staff
are present during the training day and are alert to any unusual sights, smells or atmospheric changes
that may be caused by fire, and have access to contact the Security Desk at ext. 2152907.
During Afterhours operation, Security staff is charged with keeping the Center safe. Security Officers will
during the course of their regular rounds, inspect the interiors of these buildings for signs of smoke or fire
24 hours a day. Security Officers will contact the Security Office via 2-way radio in the event of a fire. Fire
Wardens is listed in appendix B
R2.3.b. Equipment
Security Officers have access to portable air horns as an alternative notification system to the fire alarm
system, with which to notify Students, visitors and staff in the event of a fire. The signal for a fire is three
short blasts from the air horn followed by a verbal announcement, “fire.” This is repeated throughout
each building.
Secuity Officers carry on their GEM vehicle at least one five-pound all-purpose fire extinguisher in addition
to the extinguishers mounted throughout the Center.
R.2.a (c) Notification Process
1. If an automated alarm system is activated, proceed to step 2.
2. Visual confirmation of a fire will be made by staff in responsible charge of that area.
3. If alarm has not sounded, staff verifying fire will activate pull station.

5.20.R2.c. Training
The Pinellas County Job Corps Center provides ongoing fire prevention training for staff and students. The
fire Safety and Prevention Plan is updated and appropriate training conducted annually.
R2.c.1. Fire Wardens and security staff
Any Pinellas County Job Corps Center Staff acting in the capacity of a Fire Warden or is a member of the
Security Department, or is a member of the Campus Emergency Response Team, will receive at least
annually Fire extinguisher Training that includes the different classes of fire and the appropriate
extinguishing agent, the appropriate maintenance and use of Center fire extinguishers, as well as the
Center’s Fire Safety and Prevention Plan and a good understanding of their respective duties and
responsibilities in a fire emergency.
R2.c.2. Students
All Pinellas County Job Corps Center Students will be trained to their assigned evacuation routes and
assembly areas, how to report fires or fire hazards and the location of the smoking area during their Career
Foundations Period.
Area appropriate fire reporting procedures will be trained to in the respective areas (i.e. dormitory,
vocational training area, etc.) Disposal of combustible materials or flammable substances will also be
covered in the areas of the center that are appropriate for that particular substance.
R2.d. Documentation
Documentation of fire safety training, drills, and inspections must be maintained on center for three
years and made available for review upon request. A monthly summary of all fire drills will be
documented using the form at Appendix D. The summary will be reviewed during the center’s monthly
safety meeting to determine if/how fire drills can be improved. A copy of the fire drill summary will be
included in the minutes of the monthly center safety meeting.
R2.e. Incipient Fire Suppression and Portable Fire Extinguishers
R2.e.1. Fires in their initial or beginning stages that can be controlled or extinguished using a portable
fire extinguisher or Class II standpipe without the need for protective clothing or equipment may be
handled one of two ways:

12 | P a g e
Evacuating without attempting to extinguish the fire or
Evacuating all or most of the building’s occupants to the designated assembly area and allowing those
who are properly trained and designated to use portable fire extinguishers.
Use of Fire Extinguishers:
In the event that a fire is encountered, and this fire is the size of a standard trash can, and if—and only
if—the individual feels confident that they can safely do so, then the individual can attempt to use a fire
extinguisher to put out the fire.
Use of a fire extinguisher is not complicated, however the stress of dealing with a dangerous element such
as fire can make using suppression devices challenging. The acronym P.A.S.S. is used to ensure the proper
use of a fire extinguisher. P.A.S.S. stands for Pull Aim Squeeze Sweep:
PASS
Pull- The first step is to pull the pin (it usually has the inspection tag attached to it) that prevents the
handle from being squeezed.
Aim- The second step is to aim the spray nozzle, or if attached the hose nozzle, at the fire. Aim low at the
base of the fire.
Squeeze- The third step is to squeeze the handle to spray the contents. Remember a standard fire
extinguisher has less than 30 seconds of spray time.
Sweep- The final step is to sweep back and forth as you spray the base of the fire.
As a rule, call 911 or have someone call before you attempt to put out a fire. Even if a small fire is
successfully extinguished, St. Petersburg Fire & Rescue should complete an investigation. Nothing
contained in the standard operating procedures will prohibit any person from making every effort to
extinguish a fire prior to the arrival of Saint Petersburg Fire Rescue, as long as:
1. The Security Department has been notified and;
2. The individual attempting to suppress the fire is not putting themselves at risk of injury or death.
The following procedures will be followed in such an event:
1. Sound the fire alarm/call for help
2. Begin the evacuation process
3. Attempt to extinguish the fire if the fire is no greater than the size of a trash can. If the fire
becomes large or the individual is not comfortable fighting the fire, exit the building and/or retreat
to the evacuation area.
5.20.R2.e.2. Compliance
Failure to comply with the Pinellas County Job Corps Fire Safety and Prevention Plan is a violation of the
Center Safety rules and will not be tolerated. Disciplinary action up to and including termination of
employment may occur for any staff person who fails to observe the requirements outlined in this
document.
Students who fail to comply will be subject to the Center’s behavior management program.
The Pinellas County Job Corps Center Fire Prevention Plan is in compliance with CFR 1910.157.
The Pinellas County Job Corps Center has based this plan on the structural rating of the Center buildings
and the proximity of St. Petersburg Fire & Rescue.

13 | P a g e
The responding station is SPFR Station No. 3, located at 3101 5th Avenue South. This unit is geographically
.9 miles from the Center with a response time of approximately four minutes.

Fire Watch Implementation Checklist
The primary role of the Fire Watch personnel is to serve as a "human smoke detector"
 Conduct a continuous patrol of the entire building, including corridors, hallways, laundry rooms,
lobby, stairwells, recreation rooms, and any other common areas. Remain alert to signs of
smoke and/or fire.
Being a “Human Smoke Detector”:
 Remain attentive. Patrol your designated area at least once each half hour.
 Listen for in-room smoke detectors sounding.
 Look for observable signs of smoke and/or fire.
At first sign of smoke or fire, Fire Watch personnel must:
 Pull the nearest fire alarm pull station.
 Exit the building, Alert security from the nearest safe phone or by using the two-way radio.
 Do not put yourself in jeopardy - if you suspect smoke and/or fire, exit the building; contacting
the USC Department of Public Safety as quickly as possible.
