All Rights Reserved.NFPA1620Standard forPre-Incident Planning2015 EditionThis edition of NFPA 1620, StandardforPre-IncidentPlanning, was prepared by the TechnicalCommittee on Fire Service Training. It was issued
30、by the Standards Council on November 11,2014, with an effective date of December 1, 2014, and supersedes all previous editions.This edition of NFPA 1620 was approved as an American National Standard on December 1,2014.Origin and Development of NFPA 1620In 1987, following a report of a large loss fir
31、e to a sprinklered warehouse in Ohio, fireservice and insurance company officials met at NFPA headquarters to discuss such fires and todetermine whether there were steps that could be taken to cooperatively address this prob-lem. After a series of meetings, the group made several recommendations rel
32、ating to largeloss fires in sprinklered properties.One of the recommendations was that NFPA develop a document that addressed the needfor adequate pre-incident planning for such occupancies. The NFPA Standards Council as-signed the project to the Fire Service Training Committee. The Committee establ
33、ished asubcommittee with additional expertise from the insurance industry to develop a documentrelating to pre-incident planning for warehouse occupancies. That document, NFPA 1420,Recommended Practice for Pre-Incident Planning for Warehouse Occupancies, was adoptedby the NFPA membership in 1993.Fol
34、lowing adoption of NFPA 1420, the Subcommittee of the Training Committee that hadbeen involved with developing NFPA 1420 felt that the scope of the document could beexpanded to include all occupancies. At the urging of the subcommittee, the StandardsCouncil established a separate technical committee
35、 to assume responsibility for the docu-ment and to expand it. The 1998 edition was the result of that work. The document wasrenumbered as NFPA 1620 and retitled Recommended Practice for Pre-Incident Planning.The 2003 edition of NFPA 1620 incorporated editorial changes to comply with the NFPAManual o
36、f Style.The 2010 edition of NFPA 1620 featured a number of technical and editorial changes. Thedocument was completely revised and changed from a recommended practice to a standardas the technical committee established minimum requirements for developing pre-incidentplans for use by personnel respon
37、ding to emergencies.In the 2010 edition, Chapters 4 through 10 addressed the pre-incident planning process,physical and site considerations, occupant considerations, water supplies and fire protection sys-tems, special hazards, emergency operations, and pre-incident plan testing and maintenance.In t
38、he annex, case histories, information addressing special or unique characteristics ofspecific occupancy classifications, and pre-incident plan field collection cards and facility datarecord sample forms were provided for the user of the standard.In the 2014 edition, the Committee provided greater cl
39、arity around an all-hazards and all-emergency services approach to pre-incident planning. Some definitions have been modified toalign with other NFPA standards. New sections have been added to address combustible dusts andvacant/abandoned structures. In the annex, case studies have been updated and
40、information hasbeen provided on building marking systems and the national grid system to show more deeply theimportance of using technology with pre-incident planning. During the first draft meeting in SanAntonio, Texas the week of April 1618, 2013, two major events occurred. On April 15, 2013, inBo
41、ston, MA, two bombs were set off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, and on April 17,2013 there was a large explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas.
