2.3.4 Firefighting and Rescue Services
Sections 3.3, 4.1.3 of the ICAO Emergency Procedure Handbook mentions that
firefighting and rescue personnel should consider rescuing of individuals as the
ultimate goal. In order to achieve this goal, fires will have to be put out and steps
should be taken so it does not break out again; assistance should also be given to the
people on the aircraft so fast exits can be arranged. It would be better if airport
firefighting personnel or other personnel should have emergency medical training,
because these people are on the frontline and are usually the first people to arrive on
the scene. If the people who immediately respond to the crisis have medical
qualifications, it can significantly reduce the death toll. Only firefighting personnel
wearing fire protection suits and equipment will be allowed to get close to the aircraft.
These personnel should suit up 100 meters outside of any point from the aircraft or
from the oil dumping point. Firefighting personnel and vehicles should:
Be shown the fastest way into the site by airport management people.
Inform suggested mutual support firefighting agencies about:
Rendezvous point
Staging area
Labor and Equipment Support Needs
Other materials
Immediately establish temporary easily identifiable command center, until the
command center of the airline management department is already up and operational.
Similar operational details and standardized responsibilities were not included in the
“Implementation Highlights of CKS Airport Aircraft Accident and Incident Handling
Procedure.”
2.3.5 Warning Service
Section 3.4 of the ICAO Airport Emergency Procedure Handbook states that police
personnel should reach the accident site on the fastest time possible, close up the site,
and wait until the police from the station with jurisdiction arrives at the scene to take
over. The plan should take into account local police, the military and other
government officials to be able to provide timely and efficient assistance. At the same
time, they should immediately allow for unimpeded entrances and exits as well as
smooth roads to allow emergency vehicles to come through. Bystanders should be
barred from the scene, to prevent damaging the accident site and preserving the
evidence useful to the investigation. Support plan should consider all possible police
agencies including county police, the MP’s, customs police, and others. Police
