Chief Officer Training Curriculum:

Chief Officer Training Curriculum Operations Module 13: Enclosed Mall Simulation Exercise

Objectives:

Objectives Identify structural characteristics of enclosed malls Identify safety considerations associated with enclosed mall incidents Establish incident objectives Determine strategies

Objectives (continued):

Objectives (continued) Select tactics Identify and request resources Select alternate solutions Establish an appropriate ICS organization to manage the incident

Overview:

Overview Complex structural characteristics of enclosed malls Internal fire protection systems Pre-incident preparation Incident considerations Fire extinguishment

Roofs:

Roofs Metal decking Concrete Wood Glass/Plexiglass™/Lexan™

Large Area Under One Roof:

Large Area Under One Roof Anchor stores Large, possible multilevel Large storage areas Linking stores Face open mall or concourse area Remotely located storage areas Kiosks Located throughout mall Difficult to navigate in blackout conditions

Types of Occupancies:

Types of Occupancies Amusement mall Clothing store Department store Electronics Grocery Meeting rooms Movie theater

Types of Occupancies (continued):

Types of Occupancies (continued) Pet store (live animals) Pharmacy Restaurants Skating rink Specialty shops Sporting goods

Other Concerns:

Other Concerns Frequent remodeling Heavy fire load Limited access Multiple entrances

Location:

Location Within large cities Frequently on fringes of city or between cities Building codes may be less stringent Requires significant first alarm response Water supply may be inadequate Response time may be increased Frequent traffic congestion

Internal Fire Protection Systems:

Internal Fire Protection Systems Zoned sprinkler and standpipe systems Hydrants on property Smoke removal systems Requires specific knowledge by local fire departments

Types of Fire Alarms:

Types of Fire Alarms Water flow Smoke detector Pull-box alarm Heat detectors

911 Calls:

911 Calls Calls for assistance At an address At a store name At mall entrances At parking area Account for possibilities in pre-incident planning

Pre-Incident Planning:

Pre-Incident Planning Preconstruction input Thorough knowledge of structure and fire protection systems Frequent drills and incident preplanning sessions Good working relationship with mall management, security, and maintenance personnel

Incident Considerations:

Incident Considerations Divide into geographical areas (ICS divisions) Life safety Assist with evacuation Protect lanes of egress Provide search and rescue Provide for medical assistance

Fire Extinguishment:

Fire Extinguishment Employ internal fire protection systems Large water supply needs Importance of ventilation Confine fire High personnel requirements Personnel sources

Activity 13.1: Enclosed Mall Simulation Exercise :

Activity 13.1: Enclosed Mall Simulation Exercise

Columbia Mall:

Columbia Mall 70-acre complex 1.5 million square foot structure Built in two sections during the 1960’s and 1970’s Concrete Block Structure (CBS)

Columbia Mall (continued):

Columbia Mall (continued) 6 anchor stores 60+ linking stores 750 feet of concourse between east and west anchor stores 7,500 parking spaces (3,500 in 4 parking garages)

Module Summary:

Module Summary Complex structure Large area Many different types of occupancies Heavy fire load Pre-incident planning Incident considerations Fie protection systems Large water supply Ventilation High personnel requirements
