March 20111. BACKGROUNDThe potential for major fires in any installation that handles large quantities of hydrocarbonproducts is self-evident. There have been numerous large damaging fires over the years andthese include tank fires which involve massive product losses and process unit fires which causemajor plant damage and process interruption.2. OBJECTIVEThe objective of this position paper is to define the standards that would be expected of a verygood level of Fire Pre-plans in the oil, gas and petrochemical industry. These standards are alsoreflected in the Marsh Energy Risk Ranking criteria. They can be used to support and define riskimprovement recommendations and also to provide detailed advice to clients seeking toimprove their fire protection and emergency response systems.3. SCOPEThe scope of this position paper includes the description and purpose, the ownership anddevelopment, and the format and content of Fire Pre-plans. It is applicable to any facilityhandling hydrocarbons and toxic materials.4. GENERAL PRINCIPLESPlants are normally designed, built and operated to avoid fires by controlling the basic causes –loss of containment and ignition. They are also provided with detection and alarm systems topromote early response and intervention. Finally, there are passive and active fire protectionfacilities ‐ and emergency response systems and resources, to be used as a final barrier toprevent or minimise the consequences.A Fire Pre-plan is a scenario based plan, specific to a particular process area or equipment item.All Fire Pre-plans should be referenced in the Site Emergency Response Plan. They shoulddescribe how the fire protection and emergency response systems are to be used in specific firecase scenarios. Fire Pre-plans should take into account the nature and likely effects of the firescenario, the materials involved (process materials and plant construction materials), thesurrounding environment, including plant layout, any special hazards pertaining to that area,and the resources available.Fire Pre-plans should be used to assess the resources required. They should be used for regulartraining and drills, and reviewed and updated after each event. Fire protection systems andemergency response resources (equipment and personnel) are generally designed to cope withthe greatest demand they are likely to face. At a given site – the controlling scenario is generallyreferred to as the fire case. Whilst a lot of attention is paid to this as it underpins the basicdesign requirements of the central fire protection systems, there are other cases that need alsoto be studied to ensure the site is prepared for a range of eventualities.1 • Fire Pre-plans


RISK ENGINEERING POSITION PAPER5. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS5.1 POLICY AND PROCEDUREThe Health, Safety and Environment Management System(HSE-MS) should include the procedure for thedevelopment and application of Fire Pre-plans. A copy ofthe Fire Pre-plans should be included in the EmergencyProcedures Manual for the site. Fire Pre-plans should bemanaged in the same way as all other controlleddocuments.Corporate standards for Fire Pre-plans should be availableto member sites.5.2 OWNERSHIP ANDDEVELOPMENTFire Pre-plans should be owned by the EmergencyResponse organisation at the site. There should be inputfrom all involved and affected groups and disciplines –particularly the operations teams. Where the external /local fire brigade plays a significant part in the emergencyresponse, they should be familiar with the Fire Pre-plans.Specific evacuation plans, muster points, headcount, etc.should be covered under a separate procedure in the SiteEmergency Response Plans.By definition, a Fire Pre-plan is a ‘desk-top’ derived plan,with additional input from exercise and incident feedback.The Pre-plan is best developed by a team effort. Teammembers should include:••Person responsible for site tactical emergency responseteam e.g. Fire Chief/Fire Engineer••Person responsible for first-line response e.g. ShiftSupervisor••Operations Representative - Area specific••Firefighting Team Representative••Risk Engineer••Safety OfficerThe Pre-plan should be seen as an evaluation of the type ofresponse required for typical scenarios. In the event of anactual incident, the Pre-plan should be seen as a guide andwould need to be adjusted to suit local factors, e.g.weather conditions, actual process conditions. The FirePre-plan acts as an aide-memoire in crisis situations whererational thinking time could be limited. The developmentof a Fire Pre-plan may also highlight where there may bedeficiencies in response capability or particular problemswith the subject scenario.Scenarios to be documented should be as comprehensiveas time and resource allows. Good starting points areevents typically highlighted in a Safety Case, or by highlevelunit assessment looking at other property damageevents.5.3 <strong>FIRE</strong> <strong>PRE</strong>-PLAN PORTFOLIOA comprehensive portfolio of Fire Pre-plans should include:••A Fire Pre-plan for each major storage tank and eachbund area (although these can often be combined foridentical tanks in a single local area).••A Fire Pre-plan for each pressurised storage vessel andcontainment area, including protection of the run-offand impounding area, and key steps to avoid a BLEVE.••A Fire Pre-plan for refrigerated storage tanks includingprotection of the run-off and impounding area.••A Fire Pre-plan for each berth at the marine terminal.••A Fire Pre-plan for each rail and truck loading gantry.••A Fire Pre-plan for each defined “fire area” of the unite.g. as limited by layout/drainage where this is practical/meaningful. At least the two or three most severe firecases for each process unit should be defined.••Any other specific cases that are equivalent to one of theabove.Marsh • 2


March 20115.4 FORMAT AND CONTENTThe plans are best represented on easy-reference A3 size documents, using a standardlayout. Data should be included on the diagrams where possible. Lengthy narrative shouldbe avoided and reference should be made to supporting documentationThe Pre-plans should include the following:SECTIONHeaderIncident DescriptionEquipment andContents DescriptionSpecial HazardsOperations ResponseTactical EmergencyResponseProtection ofAdjacent EquipmentRequired ManpowerDESCRIPTIONDate, Revision, Author and Approver.Unit/Section/Equipment Item/Scenario.Size: Volume, Diameter, Height or Length.Contents: Quantity, Chemical Description and Properties, e.g.Flash Point, Auto ignition temperature.Toxic Risk – including carcinogens such as Benzene and AsbestosExplosion Risk, e.g. VCE, BLEVE, Detonation.Environmental Impact & Odour Risk.Boil-over risk.Dispersion and Cloud Characteristics.Equipment and other units also at risk.Third Party Locations at Risk.Location of radioactive instrumentation elements.Location of electrical equipment with PCB.Location of equipment with water reactive chemicals.High pressure gas cylinders.Key operations response actions, e.g. shutdown, depressurisationand isolation, evacuations, remote activation of deluge/monitorsetc.Where possible the number of key actions should be limited toaround five to avoid excessive detail; they should also take intoaccount the nature of the emergency e.g. it may be necessary toshut down a pump with a leaking seal from the switch houserather than the local stop/start button.Key tactical emergency response actions, e.g. activation of fixedprotection if not automatic, deployment and position of mobileequipment, target areas for firewater and foam (cooling/extinguishment/precautionary).Where possible the number of key actions should be limited toaround five to avoid excessive detail.Identification of other key equipment and hazard arisingCooling requirements developed from radiation studiesUnit/Section/Equipment Item/Scenario.Level of initial response, e.g. shift first-line response, site brigade,local authority brigade, mutual aid partners.Minimum initial response numbers.Approach direction for various response teams, including entrypoint for non-site response, relative to specific and detailed wind/ weather conditions.3 • Fire Pre-plans

REFERENCE TO INDUSTRY LOSSESEVENT DATE 08/06/2001CountryLocationUnit TypeEventDescriptionPosition papercommentUnited StatesLouisianaStorageTank fireGasoline layer built up on top of 270 ft diameter floating roof tank due toheavy rain. Fire started by lightning, producing full surface tank fire.Emergency services set up fire fighting equipment, and once in place, thefire was extinguished in 65 minutes.This incident is the largest tank fire ever extinguished. It illustrates thebenefits of Fire Pre-plans.EVENT DATE 17/03/2008CountryLocationUnit TypeEventDescriptionPosition papercommentGermanyKolnStorageTank fireAn ethylene release from a major pipeline ignited to form a jet fire, whichimpinged on an adjacent Acrylonitrile storage tank. A major tank fireensued which took 9 hours to extinguish, during which a number of firetenders were in attendance with the deployment of 1180 fire fighters. Theflames had a devastating impact on the tank’s concrete wall, causing cracksand causing the stability of the whole tank to be in question. Note that theoriginal jet fire took 5 hours to extinguish. There was no active fireprotection available in the area, and no specific emergency plans for thisscenario. The total cost (Property Damage, plus Business Interruption) wasaround Euro 53 million.With clear scenario plans in place, the effects of this major fire could havebeen greatly reduced.7.
