ALTERATIONS TO EXISTING FACILITIES.
2-6.1
Regulatory Authorities.
Refer to the following for the appropriate authorities for each Service:
Army. AR 215. The standard may be modified to accommodate the
existing structure. However, all proposed modifications to the standard
must be sent to the Army Corps of Engineers, Engineering & Support
Center, HSV (CEHNC) for review and HQDA (CFSC‑CYS) for
approval prior to the initiation of concept design.
Navy. Authorities are contained in OPNAVINST 11010.20F, Facilities
Projects Manuals and NAVFACINST 11010.45, Comprehensive Regional
Planning Instruction. Prior to planning alterations to an existing facility to
convert it to a Fire Station, the activity should consult the following: CNI,
HQ NAVFAC Engineering and CNI Fire & Emergency Services.
Air Force. Consult with HQ AFCEE for architectural and publication
coordination; HQ Air Force Civil Engineering Support Agency (AFCESA)
for technical issues relating to fire, life safety, certification, and functional
requirements; and HQ USAF/ILE for functional policies.
Marine Corps. Consult with Headquarters Marine Corps LFF and LFL.
2-6.2
Other Considerations.
It is unlikely that a non-Fire Station facility would ever be converted to a Fire Station.
However, should this need arise, consider the site and structure of the existing facility
and its limitations with regard to the required functions of a Fire Station.
Consideration must be given to the adaptability of the existing facility to the intent of the
Fire Station program. For instance, can the building accommodate the Apparatus
Room? Does it have adequate site space for the vehicle turning radii? Whether
planning a conversion, alteration, addition, or new construction, all the criteria in this
UFC must be met by the resulting facility.
