It depends on the type!!

The SAR guys (should) get a hazards brief on the aircraft type (and indeed that particular aircraft if it is known) and this information determines their response. Some aircraft use extremely hazardous materials and should only be approached with the correct PPE and, in certain cases, breathing apparatus is highly recommended.

If it were a composite aircraft that has crashed and is on fire, I probably won't go anywhere near it.
