What dictates the response for a fire during explosives training?

• A. AFMAN 91-201.
• B. OSHA standards.
• C. DTAAG.
• D. Base Weather Office guidelines.

Answer: (A)

The response to a fire during explosives training is dictated by the Air Force safety framework found in AFMAN 91-201, The Mishap Prevention Program. This manual sets the required actions for emergencies: immediately halt activities if safe to do so, raise the alarm, notify the installed fire department and base safety authorities, evacuate personnel as needed, secure the area, and follow established mishap reporting and investigation procedures. It provides the authority, responsibilities, and steps to ensure a safe, coordinated response and proper documentation to prevent recurrence.

OSHA standards are civilian workplace rules that don’t govern military-specific explosive training responses, base Weather Office guidelines don’t determine emergency actions, and DTAAG isn’t the controlling document for explosive safety responses on Air Force installations. AFMAN 91-201 is the authoritative source for how to handle fires in explosives training.
