I':':'.. , ~ ., '--' .'/-..... REPORT AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS . OF SALINA FIRE DEPARTMENT STATION #3 LOCATED AT THE FORMER SCHILLING AIR FORCE BASE ~ During the past few years, a considerable growth has been realized in the area known as South Salina. The growth climaxed in early 1979 when the former military housing area. known as Schilling Manor was acquired by a development company and the 750+ housing units made avai1 ahle- for sale or rent to the general puhlic~ Prior to the acqui sition of the Schill in9 Housing Area, the City of Salina was under a contract with the U. S. Army for- fire. protection of the complex. This contract provided two important items for the city: 1 . A substanti al doll ar amount 1970, $50,.100.00 1971 52.,800.00 T97Z 53~400 . 00 1973 54:,300.00 1974: 58,800.00 T97S: 67,950'.00 1976' 13,500..00'. 1977 79',500.00 1978 84-,000.00' 19n ('23: days/Ja1t,) 5,366'.59 ..of/~ I TOTAL $579,715.59 '-'-' Z~ Use- of a U. S~ Government military 6 x 6" structural fire'truck during' the duration' of the contractual service period. The contract with the U. 5". Government ended. in January of 1979 and loss of the contract dollars and, the use of,the truck was immediate. The Tatter created an apparatus deficiency sttuation for the Salina Fire Department Which has not been rectified at this time. A temporary measure was- initiated. in January of 1979: which moved a unit from Headquarters Station to Station #3 to provide necessary coverage at SchiTling Manor Housing Area. This move is detailed in the attached, memo to Bill Harris dated December ZO, 1978. Since the acquiSition of the former Schilling Housing Area, further growth in South Salina has taken place. It is estimated in 1979 that 98 housing units and about .14 commereial units have been constructed. Additional I r, , , , " '-_." /--....... ~ construction is quite cartain .in both categories during 1980 and 1981. rnis growth has placed a rather heavy burden on the entire Salina Fire Protection System. The backup coverage of Station #3 by Station #2 during alarms neces- sitates movement of Station #4 apparatus to Station ill quarters to cover exposed f1anks. Station #1 then covers its own assigned area, assumes Station #4's area, and provides backup for both the Station #2 area and possib,y the Station #3 area'if ladder capability is needed. A number of times during the past year, it has been necessary to virtually leave the entire northern and eastern section of Salina without quick apparatus response. As was pointed out in a previous report, Station #3, located at the old Schilling Air Forea Base~ has for its first-Tine apparatus a. 1968 Fol"li Com- merci a 1 chassi s-.:ustom body, rum/ay fi re crash rescue proto-type, roam trucx which was built by the American Fire Apparatus CoMpany. It has never beet what CQuJ d be CQnsi dered a. vi abl e pi eca of apparatus for structural firefighting pu~ses due to its trenendous weigh1: (S9,OOO lbs.) and its highly specialized equipment. Also housed at the Schilling s'tation is a 1978 Codge Quick. rescue venide (QR'l). . This piece of apparatus is again a very specialized type and of no usa for structural rirefighting purposes. r,I/O' units. now, stationed a1: Schilling have limited structural rirefighting capability. The first or these is the former Rescue Squad One (RSil), a. 1968 Codge, which was. stationed at Headquarters prior to the placemen1: in servicaof the 197a Chevrolet Mini Pumper in late: 1978. This unit is limited. by the: fact it has only a SOD GPM fron1:-moun1: plJlllP~ little hose supply, and little: ladder capability. The other uni1: stationed at SchilTing' i$ a 195! Ii M c: Tanker-pumper coml:linatton. Its mechanical conditiolt is so tenuous that it is: oltly moved. when absolutely necessary. Its: use at Schil- ling: is primarily ~ supply water fOl"" 'I'1Jnway and: taxiway firefighting and for grass: and: fire: situat.ions.. In M!aTity', Station' #3 of the: Salina Fire- Department must be considered' as: arr airport oriented facility and. little else. Statistics indicate that 98% of all Statiolt 13 activities are, directly M!lated to the. airport oper- ations. This being the: case, the: question quickly arises as to jus1: whose responsibil fty the- provision' of fire' protection for the .airport shoul d. be. ACCQrding to the r:ederaT Aviatfon Requirements. Part 139 Certification and Operations: Land Ai~orts Servinq C.A.B. Certificated Air Carriers, "Ne parson may operate a and airport servi ng any Ci vi 1 Aeronauti cs Board (C.A.S.) certificated air carrier operating aircraf1: into that airport,. in any state of the United States, OistriC1: of Clllumbia,. territory or posses- sion of the Untied States, without' or in violation of an airport operating certificate fOl"" that airport~ or in'violation of the applicable proviSions of this Part or the approved airport operations: manual or airport operations specificat,ions for that airport." fn short" this means that the Salina Ai rport Authority mtlst. be a certificated airport in order to have, COIIIllerc1al air carriers CQnduct operations on a daily basis. Without such a certifica- tion, air carriers: such' as Frontier would. not be' able to orovide service to the City of Sa1 ina. . ' ~ '-' As far as this report is concerned, Section 139.49 of the F.A.A. regulations needs specific review and understanding. A copy of the section has been attached for reference purposes. Section 139.49 states, in effect, that any certificated airport must have available during air carrier user operations, at least the airport firefighting and rescue equipment with the vehicle response time capability and trained personnel prescribed. The term 'air carrier user operations' is of considerable importance in understanding the role of the fire department in meeting F.A.A regula- tions for airport certification. The term applies only to thos.eair carriers which are C.A.B. certified. In the case of Salina,. this covers the daily arrivals and departures of Frontier Airlines and the very occasional arrival and departure of a charter flight for some specific purpose. Any other air o'peration, including military use, medical evacuation, private aircraft use, and etc., is not covered by the regu 1 ati on. There is no federal regulation which mandates fire protection be provided 24 hours a day at any certified: airport. To maintain certification, airport management must provide fire suppression capability for approximately 15 minutes prior to the arrival of any certified air carrier, during the time. the aircraft is on the ground, and ten minutes after its departure. Frontier Airlines. normally operates six flights in and out of the City of Salina each day.

The continued operation ofStatiorr 1/3 must be considered like a '-../ weight attached to a tired swilllller. He has the real potential of being pulled under by the weight and drowning. The continued $300,000.00 yearly operational cost of Station 1/3 is slowly, but surely, drowning any attempts to provide the remainder of the City of Sal1na with adequate fire protection. 1-\ '--~ A way must be found to ease the weight of Station #3. Unfortunately, the physical location of Station #3, adjacent to the runway at the airport, prevents apparatus and personnel from being a viable fire protection force for the south Salina area. This is rapidly becoming a real concern due to the response time for first-line apparatus from the fire station located on Santa Fe and Minneapolis which is assigned to protect south Salina. The problems with Station #3 are not limited to location. The Station #3 building itself is facing a number of very critical structural defects, and its structural integrity is subject to considerable concern by those assigned to the station, as well as fire department officials. City Engineering department personnel are keeping close watch on the building movement, but are reluctant to make any statements concerning its stability over any period of time. Pictures of some of the structural deterioration accompany this report. It is obvious, at any rate"the Station #3 facility is rapidly reaching a point where it will have to be replaced with a new and more efficient structure. Energy costs alone, make the present structure a very questionable continued investment., . Aircraft fire-crash-rescue is a highly specialized skill. No individ- ual can be. expected to become knowledgable in such skills without very extensive training. Knowledge is directly related to the quality, frequency, and thoroughness of the exposure to a subject and the desire to learn. Air- port emergency crews' must be. capable of operating' their equipment in rapidly changing situations. The goal of training then, is to insure that every . firefighter assigned to air-crash-rescue operations be so familiar with his equipment and have. such sufficient knowledge of fire crash rescue skills that even under conditions of extreme stress,. he is: able. to function in an automatic manner~ The Salina, Fire Department does not have the, facil ities nor the financial capabil ity to achieve the 1 evel of training necessary to meet guidelines established by Federal Aviation Regua1tion Part 139.49" Sections. (h) and (fl. This has- further become complicated by the. high personnel turnover being experienced in the mid-level employee area. For- tunately,. the Salina Fire Department has been able to retain its officers with fire crash rescue. experience: which has resulted in minimum ability to continue skin levels: in the basics.'of the profession. In order to achieve some. proficiency in fire crash- rescue, 'hot drills' must be required for all personnel. This wiTl give: them the opportunity for familiarization with equipment and. the extinguishing. capability of various agents. Construction of a hot drill pit area has recently been completed at the airport. by fire department personnel. It will provide the necessary hot training, but its function will be limited tremendously by the avail- afli 1 tty of fi re suppresstng agents such as: foams and powders. These agents are. incredibly expensive and, as a result, they have been cut from the operating budget of the fire department in an attempt to retain' some form of financial stability and cost. effectiveness. rire department personnel have, and are continuing to be, sent to special seminars designed for fire,.crash-rescue training. Again, this training is both limited in availability and is extremely costly. This obviously limits the number of individuals which can be sent. Based on studies which have been ongoing for the past year, a number of alternatives for modernization of Salina.' fire defenses are available. . . None of the alternatives are without considerable dollar cost. However, some alternatives are considerably less costly than others. As stated previously, the key to part of this is the Station #3 situation. It would appear that the City must get out from under the airport fire protection operation in one.way or another. Alternatives here are: 1. Contract with the Airport Authority for fire protection for the runway and aircraft associated operations, . 2. Allow. the Airport Authority to maintain their own fire pro- tecti on faei 1 i ty and wi thdraw from that secti on enti re 1 y . By acccmplishrnent 01" either of the afore: mentioned~ the City could. operate a. new. fire. protection facility in South Sal ina without inc"asing signifi- cant-Iy the numb.er- of personnel r7eeded ror Supp"ssion' capability. The new facility would provide: protection for the South Salina housing- area, com- mereial operationS'~ the.
