Prepare for the most
unexpected event-responding to an aircraft accident-with this
practical guidebook.
Straight-forward and concise, this book
prepares emergency responders in any type of agency or community for
the successful response to aircraft accidents.
First responders will learn how to communicate
and work effectively with the various agencies involved in a fire,
crash, and post-fire environment.
An overview on airplane anatomy will
familiarize responders with various types of aircraft and associated
hazards, while a focus on preplanning, available resources, approach
of the aircraft, and various safety and medical issues, arms
responders with the necessary tools to mitigate the incident.
With technical clarity, Aircraft Accidents:
A Practical Guide for Responders effectively reveals how the
various emergency services can form into a unified command structure
as a single team to respond to an aircraft accident.

- Recounts real-life cases of
downed aircraft to provide responders with insight
into how these accidents occur and how to most
effectively respond

awareness of local area resources in order to fully
understand the hazards and quickly respond to the
issues on scene

response and explains how these agencies work
together to take full advantage of available
resources for a successful outcome
- Provides various preplanning
checklists to ensure that responders are thoroughly
prepared for an incident involving downed aircraft
- Includes activities that set
up typical scenarios of aircraft accidents for
application of critical concepts presented in the
text
- Offers flexibility as a
stand-alone text for aircraft hazards awareness and
basic tactics courses, or as an excellent addition
to any Fire Science, Incident Command, Hazardous
Materials, Law Enforcement, or Disaster Planning
curriculum
