Evaluation of the North Island A/C Crash/Rescue Training Facility,
Abstract
Under Executive Order 11752, the Navy and the Air Force began a cooperative effort to develop training facilities that could provide more fire fighting training with less smoke and water pollution. Soon the central issue of pollution control was surrounded by a series of satellite questions that had to be answered before training facilities could be designed, e.g., what type of training is required; how much training should be provided; where should fireman train; and how much departure from the real emergency situation is permissible. Various public and private groups contributed answers. The Naval Air Station, North Island, San Diego, Calif., Aircraft/Crash Fire Rescue Training Facility is the first Navy facility constructed as an outgrowth of this effort to improve training while reducing the environmental impact to an acceptable level. This report evaluates the performance of the North Island facility in a series of environmental and training tests. The scope includes: (1) the evaluation procedure and results; (2) a comparison to other training options; and (3) recommendations for future training activity.
