Statement of Work

Repairs to the Search and Rescue Fire Training Center

INL/Palestinian Civil Defense Fire Service Training

Period of Performance

The period of performance for this action will be February to May, 2018.

Needs Justification

The Bureau of International and Law Enforcement affairs (INL) has provided assistance

to the Palestinian Civil Defense (PCD) since 2010, in the form of advisory mentoring,

training, supplies, equipment and infrastructure.

The PCD was officially authorized to deliver emergency services in 1994. Four years

later the General Law for Civil Defense authorized the PCD to provide public protection

services and identified 13 civil defense functions. Today the West Bank PCD has

responsibility for providing fire and other emergency response services to an area the size

of Delaware and for a population 1.6 to 2.5 million people (no accurate census available)

with the exception of two cities, Hebron and Nablus who manage their own fire

departments.

The purpose for the repair project is to provide the PCD with a fire/rescue training

facility in the West Bank that provides the PCD firefighters and instructors with live fire

training to simulate actual fire ground conditions.

To successfully perform rescues and gain control over fire and other emergencies, the

PCD firefighters must learn to safely operate specialized equipment, recognize hazards in

order to select the best strategy with minimal risks and work as a team within the incident

command system. These skills are acquired by completing courses at a specially

designed fire training academy from professionals who have mastered the skills. A fire

training facility must be designed to challenge trainees with realistic fire ground

conditions while insuring safety measures are included to prevent injuries.

The Palestinian Search and Rescue (SAR) Center was built in 2010 and serves as the only

fire training facility in the West Bank. Although space is limited, the site offers the PCD

with a viable, local option for training their 1,178 firefighters and approximately 3,000

volunteers. Since the SAR was built, the building has fallen into disrepair. INL, at the

request of the PCD, supported a renovation project in 2017 that repaired the kitchen,

remodeled two classrooms, added solar panels, a water tank and a fire building built from

metal containers. While completing the repairs from July-October 2017, both INL and

the PCD identified the need for additional repairs to the facility. The additional repairs

are not extensive but are critical for training and lodging for the students over the length

of the courses.
