evacuation, refer to entry 3h. or 3i. when passenger(s)
are on board). B-1, B-2, B-52, C-5, C-17, C-130, C-141,
DC-9 Series, DC-10 Series, E-3, E-4, E-8, KC-135, T-43,
VC-25, and B-747.
3. Aircraft being serviced outside of a hangar or shelter.
a. No powered support equipment being operated. One Halon 1211 extinguisher per aircraft located in the
Fuel Servicing Safety Zone (FSSZ). C-5, E-4, VC-25,
and B-747 require two per aircraft.
b. Powered support equipment being operated. One Halon 1211 extinguisher located in the FSSZ of the
aircraft. C-5, E-4, VC-25 and B-747 requires two per
aircraft. During fuel servicing, the use of aircraft APU/
GTC without integral fire suppression capability will
require a Halon 1211 extinguisher to be positioned in the
FSSZ and to protect both the aircraft and APU/GTC exhaust
port area.
c. Cargo aircraft with nuclear weapons aboard. One Halon 1211 extinguisher per aircraft located in the
FSSZ. Additionally, during loading and off loading operations,
engine starts, or other aircraft servicing, a minimum
of one ARFF vehicle, Air Force P-19 or equivalent
ARFF vehicle meeting or exceeding P-19 capabilities is
required to be in standby posture. Stand by ARFF vehicle
will maintain a one-minute response time during
taxi, takeoff and landing. The Base Fire Chief determines
positioning for optimum response.
d. Concurrent Servicing Operations during Sortie Generation:
Simultaneous refueling, munitions loading/unload-
an ARFF vehicle (P-2//19/20/23) will be on flight line
In addition to the requirements of 3a. or 3b. as applicable,
ing, aircraft reconfiguration e.g., tanks, racks, pylons standby. It will be positioned for optimum response as
loading/unloading, and other specified maintenance activities

e. Hot refueling: The transfer of fuel into the fuel tanks of One Halon 1211 extinguisher positioned between the refueling
equipment and the refueling supervisor’s position.
an aircraft with one or more engines on an aircraft operating
with or without munitions on board.
In addition, either a fixed or skid mounted AFFF system
discharging through oscillating nozzles. An ARFF vehicle
(P-2//19/20/23) may be substituted for the AFFF
system. An ARFF vehicle will be on standby posture.
The Base Fire Chief determines positioning for optimum
response.
f. Multiple hot refueling operations. An ARFF vehicle will be on standby posture. The Base
Fire Chief determines positioning for optimum response.
g. Concurrent fuel servicing of aircraft without passengers.
(See Chapter 5.)
One Halon 1211 fire extinguisher for each SPR connection
location being used. An ARFF vehicle will be on standby
posture. The Base Fire Chief determines positioning for
optimum response. When two or more aircraft are being
concurrently serviced at different locations, an ARFF
vehicle will be on standby posture. The Base Fire Chief
determines positioning for optimum response.
