ARFF Guides
- Each aircraft fire is unique and must be individually evaluated.
- Basic guidelines for effecting attack:
- Approach:
- ARFF Vehicles may need to negotiate into the scene around wreckage, victims, and other obstructions.
- Personnel may have to guide the apparatus into position.
- Close enough to gain maximum effectiveness from streams and lines.
- Upwind, considering escape/rescue routes, and not blocking other apparatus.
- Attack:
- With the wind.
- Utilize streams as soon as within range.
- Protect and isolate the aircraft from the fuel spill fire.
- Knock down the fire.
- Immediately reduce the fire in the "critical fire area" adjacent to the aircraft fuselage.
- Control 90% of the fire intensity within one minute.
- Use short bursts of 10-15 seconds of extinguishing agent to conserve agent and check application range and effectiveness.
- Rescue:
- Begin upon arrival to support evacuees or initiate rescue.
- At least two rescuers working together.
- Use normal exits, emergency exits, or force entry, in this order.
- Transport occupants to a tenable atmosphere.
- Approach:
Control
- Protect the fuselage and cover spill area with foam.
- Prevent the spread of fire.
- Arrange backup water and foam supplies.
Off-Airport Aircraft Emergencies
- Initiate both fire control and EMS (rescue) as soon as possible.
- Scene lighting, extrication, treatment, transportation, and site safety must be addressed.
- First fire company assumes command or passes command and assists escaping passengers and/or provides an escape path for the escaping passengers.
Security and Site Safety
- Request police to secure the scene.
- Remember that the entire scene is a crime scene until proven otherwise.
- Have police secure a route in and out of the incident site to permit easy movement of emergency equipment, particularly ambulances going to hospitals.
- Limit personnel in the crash site to prevent destruction of evidence.
- Be aware of the hazards of aircraft accidents, including:
- Electrical power running through the aircraft's electrical wiring.
- Oxygen cylinders that can explode, become missiles, and/or ignite flammable liquids.
- Jagged metal parts that can easily cut through protective clothing and hoselines.
- High-pressure hydraulic lines that can cause serious injury if cut or broken.
- Composite materials in aircraft construction that can emit free-floating fibers when burning.
Investigation and Documentation
- All aircraft accidents are investigated to learn the "cause" of the accident in order to prevent future accidents.
- Document everything, including actions taken and evidence collected.
- Do not remove any objects or materials from the crash site until authorized by investigators.
