The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Division 1 and Division 2 are now two separate documents. According to the Product Scope/Abstract for the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 2, "These rules provide an alternative to the minimum requirements for pressure vessels under Division 1 rules. In comparison the [sic] Division 1, Division 2 requirements on materials, design, and nondestructive examination are more rigorous; however, higher design stress intensify values are permitted. Division 2 rules cover only vessels to be installed in a fixed location for a specific service where operation and maintenance control is retained during the useful life of the vessel by the user who prepares or causes to be prepared the design specifications. These rules may also apply to human occupancy pressure vessels typically in the diving industry." It would appear that the requirements to use Division 2 would not be met for a fire truck.

39 Page 36 of 228 Committee Statement: ANSI Z535.4 describes the principles for designing safety signs that includes text. The rest of the world, and even many US manufacturers (notably Caterpillar) are converting to textless signs in conformance with International Standards Organization (ISO) guidelines. The main advantage of textless safety signs is that they can be understood by operators of any language. The FAMA safety signs whitepaper includes textless signs as options for those hazards that are of particular importance for export products. As NFPA 1901 is an international standard, this change is consistent with that principle. While there are several ISO standards written around safety signs, the two-panel yellow ISO 9244 designs are the ones that FAMA selected to base it's common signs upon, and in the experience of the author is most common with global manufacturers. The suggested change still retains the ANSI Z535.4 option (which is still probably most appropriate for the US market), but allows manufacturers to produce products for export that still meet the NFPA 1901 standard.

40 A Uniformity of safety signage is a desirable objective. Examples of common safety signs solutions are depicted in FAMA TC010, Standard Product Safety Sign Catalog for Automotive Fire Apparatus, and should be considered where deemed applicable by the manufacturer. [1901:A.4.9.4]

Where controls will be labeled using graphical symbols, they shall conform to the common graphical symbols found in FAMA TC008, Graphical Symbols for Automotive Fire Apparatus. [ 1901: ] Submitter Full Name: [ Not Specified ] Organization: [ Not Specified ] Submittal Date: Tue Sep 10 12:33:50 EDT 2013 Committee Statement: The Fire Apparatus Manufacturer's Association completed a project to commonize graphical symbols that describe the functions of fire apparatus controls, gauges, valves, and plumbing. The document is free to the public and published on the FAMA website. It is periodically updated by FAMA as the need for new symbols is recognized. This requirement will ensure that as the use of graphical symbols catches on in the Fire industry, fire fighters will only need to learn one set of symbols rather than seeing variations as they move from one manufacturer's apparatus to the next. The wording does not require the use of symbols, but if they are used, it requires them to be the industry recognized symbols. FAMA would likely give permission to publish these symbols as an annex to 1901, but this would slow down the reaction time as new symbols are developed.

77 A It is important to have drain valves on the coolant systems of the apparatus for routine maintenance and repairs. The drain valve(s) should be located at low points in the system for complete drainage of the coolant. The design of the valve should be such that the valve will not inadvertently open from vehicle or engine vibration. It is also critical, especially on wild land vehicles or other vehicles subject to go off-road, that the drain valves are located out of the angle of approach or angle of departure or other areas where the valve could be subjected to damage. Accidental opening of or damage to the coolant drain valve could allow sudden loss of the engine coolant, causing severe or catastrophic damage to the engine. [1901: A ]

Submitter Full Name: Ryan Depew Organization: National Fire Protection Assoc Submittal Date: Wed Sep 18 13:04:50 EDT 2013 Committee Statement: The current specification is not specific enough to ensure that the intended level of safety is met. A 9 g force does not specify whether this is to be applied statically or dynamically, and does not indicate any duration of time that the force is to be applied. If the time interval of the force application is brief enough, this specification can be met without any type of substantial bracket at all. A bottle struck with a light hammer blow can register a deceleration well over 9 g s, but this would not ensure that the bottle would be retained in a sustained deceleration. It was the committee s intent that the 9 g specification would hold against a steady force equivalent to 9 times the weight of the bottle and pack (315 lbs for a 35 lb SCBA). Yet there are certain holders being offered for sale that claim to be NFPA compliant but will deform and release the bottle at much lower forces. The advent of hands-free holder designs that retain the bottle and pack in a dynamic situation also need a good specification to test to. The proposed wording describes a dynamic test using a profile specifically tailored by the Society of Automotive Engineers for retaining objects heavy trucks during a crash. This criteria will ensure an adequate level of safety and will eliminate the current loophole in the test requirements. Response Message: Public Input No. 193-NFPA [Section No ]

Submitter Full Name: [ Not Specified ] Organization: [ Not Specified ] Submittal Date: Tue Sep 10 18:14:56 EDT 2013 Committee Statement: 17 in Hg is not enough. The primer must be able to produce 17 in. Hg at 2000 feet altitude, which would translate to about 19 in. Hg. at sea level. If the primer does any better than the absolute minimum, it could be more than this. NFPA 1901 primers must do 22 in. Hg. worst case, and typically do more. Most vacuum hoses are designed to be able to handle 30 in. Hg., which is the maximum obtainable and only represents 14.7 psi. This requirement should not be had to meet. Any hoses in the pump should not collapse under any reasonable conditions encountered in the field, such as an operator trying to obtain a draft at close to the vertical lift limit. An even worse case might occur with the pump primed and running and the intake strainer suddenly becoming clogged such as by a plastic bag. This could approach 30 in. Hg. briefly, and should still not collapse the pump intake plumbing. Response Message: Public Input No. 24-NFPA [Section No ]

193 Page 171 of 228 Committee Statement: There has been increased interest in ultra-high pressure (UHP) fire suppression systems for initial attack for various specific applications. Most have involved military applications but there is activity to pursue it for nonmilitary related fire suppression. The types and sizes of systems are varied with no specific standards or specifications established for municipal or wildland fire apparatus. This proposed chapter reflects an initial starting point to establish requirements for UHP fire pumps and associated equipment. The basic structure of the proposed chapters follows a format similar to the chapter on fire pumps from NFPA 1906 and auxiliary pumps from NFPA This draft was developed with information from a number of manufacturers but does not represent a consensus of manufacturers. Create new Chapter 28 as seen in attachment Response Message: Public Input No. 87-NFPA [New Section after ] Public Input No. 175-NFPA [Global Input] Public Input No. 187-NFPA [Global Input]

It is an imaginary point located in two-dimensional space above the seat cushion. The H point is measured using a tool that simulates human hips and torso of a specific size and weight. The H point will vary with the size, shape, and material of the seat back, seat frame, and seat cushion. If the H point measurement is not available, it can be approximated by measuring 5 in. (130 mm) ahead of the seat back and 3 in. (75 mm) up from the nondepressed seat cushion surface. [1901:A ] Suspension-style seats have been developed for long-haul truck operations where the operator is driving for many hours at a time. Acceleration and braking are controlled, with an eye to fuel economy. The suspension-style seat in this duty profile provides a smoother ride and reduces fatigue from long hours in the seats. In contrast, the operator of a fire apparatus typically is making short runs with fast acceleration, quick maneuvers, and sudden braking. The bouncing motion of the suspension seat could hinder the driver's ability to maintain precise control of the throttle, brake, steering wheel, and other driving controls. [1901:A ] Selection of seating options should be made with consideration to the frequency of time that the driver will spend in the vehicle each day, and whether the fire department standard operating procedure (SOP) requires or encourages the occupant of the seat to be equipped with headgear during travel fire-fighting operations. The use of headgear reduces headroom and increases the chance of injury should the vehicle encounter unexpected road undulation or speed bumps. The effect of such road conditions during high-speed operation might be intensified by the action of a seat suspension. Potential for injury is greatly increased by failure to use or properly adjust the seat belt. [ 1901: A ] Proper seat adjustment is another issue that should be addressed by the fire department SOPs if apparatus are equipped with suspension seats. Too much pressure in a suspension seat air bag will reduce static headroom height and will negate the potential benefits of the suspension. Too little pressure will cause the seat to bounce excessively. The proper amount of pressure is dependent on the weight of the occupant. Departments where multiple drivers share an apparatus should recognize that adjustments need to be made between each shift. Seat adjustment should not be postponed until the driver is exiting the station on the way to a call.

231 Page 189 of 228 First Revision No. 80-NFPA [ Section No. A ] A If the pump is expected to operate above 2000 ft (600 m) or at lifts of more than 10 ft (3 m) or through more than 20 ft (6 m) of suction hose, the apparatus manufacturer needs to be made aware of this fact in order to compensate for the fact that the power of a naturally aspirated internal combustion engine decreases with elevation above sea level or that additional head loss will be encountered on the intake side of the pump. At an altitude of 2000 ft (600 m), the actual (uncorrected) atmospheric pressure equivalent to the sea level reading of 29.9 in. Hg (101 kpa) is 27.8 in. Hg (94.1 kpa). The purchaser should seek certification from the pump manufacturer that the pump meets the necessary performance requirements under these more strenuous conditions. Under some conditions, the engine-pump combination is not able to perform at higher elevations. When this occurs, it is necessary to either increase the engine horsepower or de-rate the pump. The suction hose size shown in Table (a) is for pump rating purposes only, and other sizes of suction hose can be carried on the fire apparatus for use in the field. The performance of a fire pump can be adversely affected by the design of the suction piping or the addition of valves to the suction side of the pump. Losses due to additional piping or valves that are added to the fire pump suction reduced reduce pump performance.

232 Page 190 of 228 First Revision No. 81-NFPA [ Section No. A ] A Pressure control systems can be supplied in the following forms: (1) Integral with the pump and supplied by the pump manufacturer (2) As an external system of components supplied by the apparatus manufacturer (3) As an external control system provided by a pressure control manufacturer (4) Properly selected pump, PTO ratio, and discharge sizes to limit pressure rise to less than 30 psi (207 kpa) [ 1901: A ] Pressure governors control the engine speed, which relates directly to the net pump pressure. If the speed is raised, the pressure goes up; if the speed is lowered, the pressure goes down. Discharge relief valves control pressure by passing water from the discharge side of the pump back into the intake side of the pump. This type of system works in a pressure differential of approximately at least 70 psi to 90 psi (500 kpa to 600 kpa) between the intake and discharge sides of the pump. If the pressure differential is not present, the discharge relief valve might not control a pressure rise completely. [ 1901: A ] If either a discharge relief valve or a pressure governor is used with high incoming inlet pressures, an intake relief valve or total control system must should be added. [ 1901: A ] In the case where an intake relief valve is selected, it must should be of sufficient size and response time to handle the pump performance range. It must should also be easily controlled by the pump operator so that this incoming pressure can be adjusted for each incident. For best results, the operator should set the intake relief valve to operate at 90 psi (600 kpa) below the desired discharge operating pressure. [ 1901: A ] The pressure control system should be certified by the appropriate manufacturer or an independent third-party certification organization. Because of the importance of these systems, the purchaser might wish to have performance tests conducted on the installed system.

236 Page 194 of 228 First Revision No. 84-NFPA [ Section No. A ] A Where an engine is operating at or near full power while stationary, the heat generated could raise the temperature of certain chassis or pumping system components above the level that, when touched, can cause extreme discomfort or injury. However, as long as the apparatus can be operated and used satisfactorily for the required duration of the test under such conditions, it should be considered acceptable. The suction lift can be determined either by measuring the negative pressure (vacuum) in the pump intake manifold with a test gauge that measures vacuum accurately or by adding the vertical lift and the value of friction and entrance loss from Table (b) or Table (c). To be accurate, the vacuum gauge must should be at the same level as the intake of the pump with no gauge line or a very short gauge line. If a long gauge line is used, a purge valve at the gauge connection to the gauge line must should be installed and opened and closed when running to purge the gauge line of any water. If the vacuum gauge and the pump intake are at different levels with water in the gauge line, an incorrect reading will result. Opening and closing the purge valve at the vacuum gauge when operating will purge the gauge line. Every foot of water in the vacuum gauge line will result in almost an inch of mercury error of vacuum. The net pump pressure can be calculated by using the following formula: U.S. units: [A (a)] where: P = net pump pressure (psi) D = discharge gauge pressure (psi gauge) H = manometer vacuum gauge reading (in. Hg) L = vertical lift (ft) F = friction and entrance loss (ft of water) SI units: [A (b)] where: Pm = net pump pressure (kpa) Dm = discharge gauge pressure (kpa gauge) H m = manometer vacuum gauge reading (kpa) F m = friction and entrance loss (kpa) L m = vertical lift (m)

251 Page 201 of 228 First Revision No. 79-NFPA [ Section No. A ] A Water tanks can appear in several different configurations, such as round, elliptical, rectangular, or T-shaped. Handling characteristics of the apparatus can be greatly affected by its vertical and horizontal centers of gravity. The purchaser should indicate the filling and dumping rates required if those rates exceed the requirements of this standard, and any other local needs, and let the apparatus manufacturer design the tank shape to best meet the axle-loading and center-ofgravity requirements. If the tanks are made as one unit with the body and compartments, the material used is important. It should be corrosion proof and should not easily cause condensation. Submitter Full Name: [ Not Specified ] Organization: [ Not Specified ] Submittal Date: Tue Sep 10 19:40:02 EDT 2013 Committee Statement: Response Message: The additional comma is needed to correct the grammar and make the clauses apply correctly.

252 Page 202 of 228 First Revision No. 133-NFPA [ Sections A , A.25.2 ] A Winches are classified by manufacturers for different applications and uses. The purchaser might want to specify that winches meet the requirements of SAE J706, Rating of Winches. Winches installed on fire apparatus are not designed or suited for lifting or lowering personnel in rescue applications. Winches rated at under 20,000 lbf (89 kn) on fire apparatus are not designed for removal of apparatus from buried off-road conditions. A heavy-duty wrecker should be used for towing and lifting of fire apparatus. [1901:A ] Most electric (12-volt or 24-volt dc) winches used for fire apparatus applications are rated at between 5000 lbf (22.2 kn) and 25,000 lbf (111.2 kn) line pull. Smaller winches of the removable type might be specified by the purchaser. Hydraulically driven winches are typically rated for 6000 lbf to 30,000 lbf (26.7 kn to kn) line pull. [ 1901: A ] A.25.2 Global FR-133 Hide Deleted Most electric (12-volt or 24-volt dc) winches used for fire apparatus applications are rated at between 5000 lbf (22.2 kn) and 12,000 lbf (53.4 kn) line pull. Smaller winches of the removable type might be specified by the purchaser. Hydraulically driven winches are typically rated for 6000 lbf to 30,000 lbf (26.7 kn to kn) line pull. [ 1901: A ] Submitter Full Name: [ Not Specified ] Organization: [ Not Specified ] Submittal Date: Thu Sep 19 14:00:48 EDT 2013 Committee Statement: This sentence better belongs to (intended use) not 25.2 (Winch Wire or Synthetic Rope). Reflects increase in winch ratings for fire apparatus applications. Annex material from A.25.2 will now be associated with A Response Message: Public Input No. 51-NFPA [Sections A , A.25.2]

253 Page 203 of 228 First Revision No. 103-NFPA [ Section No. B.2 [Excluding any Sub-Sections] ] This standard provides the minimum technical requirements that new wildland fire apparatus are expected to meet. It is recognized that many purchasers will want additional features of operation over and above these minimum requirements. The requirements in this standard, together with the annex material, should be studied carefully. Details, such as anywhere that the apparatus being specified needs to exceed the minimum requirements or where a specific arrangement is desired, should be carefully defined in the specifications for the apparatus. These specifications might include special performance requirements, defining the number of seats and the seating arrangement for fire fighters riding on the apparatus, or providing space for extra hose or equipment the apparatus will be required to carry. Completion of the form shown in Figure B.2 Figure B.2(a) should assist the purchaser in developing specifications and provide the information required in the various sections of this document. The purchaser should fill in only those sections where there are specific requirements over and above the standard. Care must be taken not to specify incompatible requirements, such as a 3000 gal (11,400 L) water tank, which weighs approximately 30,000 lb (13,600 kg), and a 10,000 lb (4500 kg) GVWR chassis. When more restrictive details are specified, fewer manufacturers will be able to bid, and the cost of the apparatus may be higher. Figure B.2 Specification Form for Purchasing Apparatus.
