3 Such Incidents place significant demands on local fire and rescue services and often require resources and support from other fire and rescue services and emergency responders. However smaller scale Incidents involving Aircraft are more prevalent and these may require a response from any fire and rescue service in Fire and Rescue Service Operational guidance Aircraft Incidents provides robust yet flexible guidance that can be adapted to the nature, scale and requirements of the Chief Fire and Rescue Adviser is grateful for the assistance in the development in this guidance from a wide range of sources, including the fire and rescue service and the aviation is anticipated that this guidance will promote common principles, practices and procedures that will support the fire and rescue service to resolve Aircraft Incidents safely and and Rescue Service Operational guidance Aircraft Incidents6 SECTION 2 PrefaceThe objective of the Fire and Rescue Service Operational guidance Aircraft Incidents is to provide a consistency of approach that forms the basis for common Operational practices.

4 Supporting interoperability between fire and rescue services, other emergency responders, the aviation industry and other groups. These common principles, practices and procedures are intended to support the development of safe systems of work on the incident ground and to enhance national guidance issued by the Department of Communities and Local Government promotes and develops good practice within the Fire and Rescue Service and is offered as a current industry standard. It is envisaged that this will help establish high standards of efficiency and safety in the interests of employers, employees and the general guidance , which is compiled using the best sources of information known at the date of issue, is intended for use by competent persons. The application of the guidance does not remove the need for appropriate technical and managerial judgement in practical situations with due regard to local circumstances, nor does it confer any immunity or exemption from relevant legal requirements, including by-laws.

5 Those investigating compliance with the law may refer to this guidance as illustrating an industry is a matter for each individual fire and rescue service whether to adopt and follow this Operational guidance . The onus of responsibility for application of guidance lies with the user. Department of Communities and Local Government accept no legal liability or responsibility whatsoever, howsoever arising, for the consequences of the use or misuse of the 3 Introduction9 Purpose3 .1 This Operational guidance is set out in the form of a procedural and technical framework. Fire and Rescue Services should consider it when developing or reviewing their policy and procedures to safely and efficiently resolve emergency Incidents involving any The term Aircraft is used to describe all types of flying machines: fixed wing rotary wing (helicopters, autogyro etc) balloons airships gliders remotely piloted air systems (unmanned aerial systems) The above list will cover both civil and military Aircraft .

6 Non Fire and Rescue Service organisations and agencies may use other more specific definitions for their own requirements, but the above definition is the most appropriate one for Fire and Rescue Services to base their risk assessments and planning assumptions A Fire and Rescue Service may respond to a wide range of Incidents involving numerous types of Aircraft . The kind of incident varies greatly and can result in fires, rescues, scene safety and environmental The purpose of this guidance is to assist emergency responders to make safe, risk assessed, efficient and proportionate responses when attending and dealing with Operational Incidents involving Whilst this guidance may be of use to a number of other agencies, it is designed to provide relevant information, planning and operations relating to Aircraft Incidents for UK Fire and Rescue The scope of this guidance covers a wide range of incident types that Fire and Rescue Services are likely to encounter associated with Aircraft .

7 It is applicable to any event regardless of scale, from small Incidents , such as an accident involving a microlight to a large incident involving a civil Aircraft ( Airbus A380) resulting in a large scale major It is focused on the tactical and technical aspects of Aircraft Incidents so as to assist Fire and Rescue Services with:Fire and Rescue Service Operational guidance Aircraft the development of safe systems of work3 .10 interoperability at large or cross border Incidents where more than one Fire and Rescue Service is in attendance3 .11 to promote interoperability at Incidents with Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Service3 .12 multi agency working to resolve Aircraft .13 This guidance covers the time period from the receipt of the first emergency call to the closure of the incident by the Fire and Rescue Service incident .14 In addition to detailed tactical and technical information it also outlines the key Operational and strategic responsibilities and considerations that need to be taken into account to enable the Fire and Rescue Service to train, test intervention strategies and plan to ensure effective response at an Aircraft .

8 15 The Operational guidance is based on nationally accepted good practice. It is written as an enabling guide based around risk critical Operational principles rather than a strict set of rules and procedures. This is done to recognise local differences across the English regions and elsewhere in the UK in terms of risk profiles and levels of .16 Section 8 contains the bulk of the guidance and is divided into three parts:Part A Preplanning considerationsPart B Operational considerations Generic standard operating procedurePart C Technical considerationsPart A: PreplanningContains information that supports Fire and Rescue Service personnel in a number of roles when undertaking preparatory work for dealing with Aircraft Incidents that may occur in their service section covers planning considerations at both the strategic level when planning for service wide response options and for those associated with local site specific B: Operational considerations Generic standard operating procedureProvides guidance to Fire and Rescue Service personnel on responding to and resolving Aircraft Incidents .

9 It is structured around six emergency response phases common to all Operational procedure detailed in this part of the guidance uses the incident Command System decision making model as its foundation. It is generic standard operating procedure for dealing with Aircraft Incidents that Fire and Rescue Services can adopt or adapt depending on their individual risk assessments and section of the generic standard operating procedure details comprehensive but not exhaustive lists divided into: possible actions possible Operational should be stressed that these are not mandatory procedures. They are a tool box of Operational considerations which will act as an enabling guide when dealing with Aircraft generic standard operating procedure reflects the hazards and control measures of the national generic risk assessment relevant to Aircraft C Technical informationThis section contains technical information and Operational considerations that may be required by Fire and Rescue Service personnel for planning, training and operations.

10 It also references more detailed guidance that may be of interest to Fire and Rescue part only contains information with an Operational connotation and is not intended to be an exhaustive technical reference frameworkLegal frameworkLegal frameworkSECTION 4 Legal Fire and Rescue Authorities need to be aware of the following legislation. It is relevant to command and control at Operational Incidents and also in the training This section does not contain detailed legal advice about the legislation. It is just a summary of the relevant legislation, as applied to Fire and Rescue Authority firefighting procedures. You should confirm with your legal team on your Fire and Rescue Authority s compliance with this When considering this framework it is essential to recognise that any definitive interpretation of the legal roles and responsibilities imposed by legislation can only be given by a court of law. For a full understanding of the responsibilities imposed by the legislation, and by the Fire and Rescue Service National Framework, reference should be made to the relevant legislation or the National Framework.
