Dod Instruction 6055.6 Dod Fire And Emergency Services Program Texas
'Civilian and military program managers for fire and emergency services at DoD installations should read this report. The report discusses how shortfalls for staffing and apparatus could adversely impact firefighter safety and installation missions. This evaluation was conducted in response to a request from the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment) to determine the adequacy and effectiveness of the DoD Fire and Emergency Services Program. The House of Representatives Report accompanying H.R. 5010, the FY 2003 Defense Appropriations Bill, states that the Committee on Appropriations was concerned that the level of fire and emergency response protection at Military installations may not meet minimum safety standards for staffing, equipment, and training. The Committee on Appropriations directed that the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment) provide adequate resources when implementing the DoD Fire and Emergency Services Strategic Plan as well as ensure that installations comply with fire protection standards, including DoD Instruction 6055.6, 'DoD Fire and Emergency Services Program,' October 10, 2000.'
