By Vicki
Mostly,
Their role is to save lives in the event of an aircraft accident or incident.– Be able to notice to an incident at any of airport
movement area within three minutes from the initial call– Aircraft incidents, water rescue, medical requests,
structural fires, and fire alarms
It Is Very Very Important!
• Local Officials and First Responders to any accident have to get their names and contact information
• Need to contact Possible Witnesses who are present and conduct interviews
• Keep present memory or evidence from witness or reporter

What Do You Think?...
SCARED
Terrible!Tragic!
Most of All……
IT IS DANGEROUS!!!
The Average Life Fire Officers have…
• “On the flight deck we are the fire department. No one is coming to bail us out during emergency situations. Aviation is a dangerous business, and we have to be prepared for anything.”
• “We put a lot of effort into training and getting ourselves ready, but it was very challenging. When you’re holding training in classrooms as much as we had to, you have to find ways to keep the team motivated and make them understand how important their job is.“
• “When you respond to a casualty you have to know that you can step up and lead no matter what the situation is. There are a lot of moving parts in a fire fighting evolution or a salvage operation. You have to have your head on a swivel and be able to see all of it and control it at the same time.” (Scorza)

Challenges / Difficulties
By Diana
• Jet-A fuel : The warmer outside temperature is, the more it is vaporized
• Av-Gas : Burn off very quickly in the crash
The Closer an accident occurs in the ground, The More Fuels can be onboard
*Dry Chemicals can be needed to prevent explosion*Try to make the place cooler
• “SOMETHING OUT OF A NIGHTMARE”• “There’s active fire, and there’s fuel leaking,
and there’s debris all over the field, the last thing you want to do is take a chance of the plane exploding” – Unexpected to see chaos and collisions– All employers got panic because it is hard to evacuate
victims– Potential Risks; Lack of Light
– hidden and unknown to rescuers
