Safetyinformation for airport firecrew
Hi all,
beeing a helicopter pilot does not always mean, just fly to do the job.
Boss asked me to prepare some safetyinformations for the firecrew at our airport.
We can brief them on the types we use, but thinking about the topic, I came up with quite a lot of things to think about, if I want to give them a good idea about the problems they might have to deal with.
Going from piston to turbine helicopters, thinking about Avgas via JetFuel or helicoters with military fuel with lower flamepoints,
thinking about used materials (magnesium in gearboxes)
approaching a turning helicopter with injured pilot
or approaching a crashed helicopter, where there might be tension in the broken blades,
thinking about exits, extinguishing points, about dangers for the helping from flotation gear, pressures, cartridges for winch etc.
Anybody further ideas - and most requested - material, like photos, powerpoints and stuff like that?
Greetings Flying Bull
