29、PA 1407 Standardfor TrainingFireServiceRapidInterventionCrews 2015Edition This edition of NFPA 1407, Standard for Training Fire Service Rapid Intervention Crews, was preparedbytheTechnicalCommitteeonFireServiceTraining.ItwasissuedbytheStandards Council on January 14, 2014, with an effective date of
30、February 3, 2014, and supersedes all previouseditions. ThiseditionofNFPA1407wasapprovedasanAmericanNationalStandardonFebruary3, 2014. OriginandDevelopmentofNFPA1407 Historically, this document began as the Technical Committee on Fire Service Training recognized an issue faced by many fire department
31、s. In 2001, the first edition of NFPA1710 was published. Included in it was the term Initial Rapid Intervention Crew (IRIC). As depart- mentsstruggledtoadoptandcomplywithNFPA1710,noguidancewasprovidedastotrain- ingorperformancerequirementsforthesecrews. In a 2003 letter to the NFPAStandards Council
32、requesting approval, the Technical Com- mitteeonFireServiceTrainingexplainedthatalthoughseveralNFPAstandardsrefertorapid intervention teams, none “outlines training programs for these teams.” The committee re- ceivedapprovalforarecommendedpracticeonfirefightersafetyandsurvival.Thecommit- tee drafted
33、 several versions of the document, addressing high angle rescue, confined space rescue,highwaysafety,andothersituationsinwhichaRapidInterventionCrew(RIC)might find itself. In 2006, the committee recognized that the basic skills and performance require- ments for rapid intervention rescue should rema
34、in constant regardless of the emergency situation and that the recommended practice should become a standard for all fire depart- ment training programs. The committee was also concerned that, in several instances, fire fighters on a scene had rushed to the aid of downed fire fighters without consid
35、eration of other ongoing fire operations, thus endangering more fire fighters. The committee then re-focused on the basic skills and training needed for the safe operation of fire department RICs. The 2010 edition of the standard was based on the expertise of the committee members and other contribu
36、tors with experience in RIC operations and training. Careful consider- ationwasgiventotherequirementsforIRICsandRICsinNFPA1710andNFPA1720,aswell as NFPA1500. The committee stressed through the requirements in this document that the safetyofallfirefighterswasthekeyissue. For the 2015 edition, the com
37、mittee has updated the term mayday to correlate with NFPA1500. Definitions and training requirements have also been included for the emergency breathing safety system (EBSS), or buddy breather, that was approved for use by NIOSH for SCBAsperthe2013editionofNFPA1981.Thecommitteehasalsoupdatedthereaso
