A point to remember for the rescue part - after any fire is extinguished - is that a helicopter will tend to come to rest on its side if it was an uncontrolled landing (due to the high center of gravity). This makes extracting the occupants more difficult.

If the guys really want to be proactive, then training on a mock-up on its side could help them work out the best ways to tackle this.
