Appendix G Aircraft Emergency Incidents - 9/15/20 Initial MCFRS response is based on the 1st arriving unit o cer establishing command and developing an intelligent, decisive action plan. Command and unit o cers must make rapid and ongoing risk assessments and tailor tactics to the incident. Build solid framework for command, control and coordination before units enter the hot zone. Emphasis on: Life safety Evacuation Corridor Mitigation of burning and unburned fuel SCBA in hot zone (even outside) and N95 for victims due to the vast amount of composite material Aircraft operate out o : Montgomery County Air Park Davis Air Field Large Aircraft - form BWI ight corridor 2 Types of Incidents: On Airport O Airport @ 20 minute mark crews must have located and established a comprehensive plan Assumptions that guide MCFRS 1. Unfamiliar due training as structural re ghters 2. Occur in complex geographical locations (remote or urban) 3. High life threat in remote or urban 4. Large amounts of class B fuel, hazardous materials and unique hazards (parachute, ejection systems) 5. Increase survivability by creating rescue corridors, rapid rescues of occupants, containing the incident within reason ACRE Assess - situation awareness by utilizing information at dispatch, during the response and on arrival to determine location and scope Control - control and remove hazards associated with the hazard Rescue - disentangle, extricate and evacuate or assist with self rescue until resources arrive Evacuate - Evacuate, assist to safety and triage and treat ff ff fl fi fi ffi ffi  Airport Incidents Contact air park/ airpark manager 1st arriving unit contact Potomac Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) via ECC Shut Runway down prior to entry Uni ed command with MSP or MCPD for potentially escalating incidents MSP Medivac (trooper) requires coordination with MSP MCPD is responsible for search operations - per Montgomery County Emergency Operations plan #9 Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) should be contacted by ECC on request by MCPD’s Search and Rescue coordinator (SAR) Initial Action Initial Crew - 1st Engine/ 1st Special with full PPE/SCBA Equipment : Dry Chem. Extinguishers Thermal Imager Triage/ MCI bags Goal: isolate incident establish rescue corridors Facilitate Rapid extrications Entry Team Leader - relay # of victims and location Approach: Uphill/ Upwind when feasible Fixed wing - 45* angle from nose or wing tip Rotary Aircraft - 90* angle from nose General : Treat res as hazmat res due to fuel and other hazards Structural integrity of a downed plane should be considered suspect Do not operate in any standing liquid unless extensive risk bene t Victims maybe a great distance from downed aircraft Consider decontamination for all PPE in warm and hot zone Class B foam is preferred for aircraft incidents Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) Activation Incidents Are not “black boxes”, ight data recorders Can be removed for repair or to replace batteries False activations occur often Calls form AFRCC or entity regarding ELT activation without a report of a downed aircraft ECC notify on duty MCPD SAR Coordinator and report information ELT with dispatched units Respond to reported location Tactically stage until the ELT is located Units with ELT tracking devices will work with ECC to locate activated ELT fi fi fi fl fi
