if you still need the info here is some that i hope can help!

airport fire crews have to respond within 2 mins of a crash within the airfield boundries, and must make survivable conditions within 3 mins.

on approach to the crash the use of large roof monitors will be brought in to play (mass attack) driving the fire away from the critical area ( fuselarge or cockpit for military aircraft).

Foam branches will then be deployed to mop up the residual fires

Rescue teams enter large aircraft normally by the over wing emergency hatches as using the normal etrances can be tricky,especailly if the iflatable chutes are conected  or the doors are warped, you may get a face full of it or be up a ladder trying to open a heavy door with an outstreched arm ( its not happening). Rescue teams will open all doors to the aircraft increasing survivable conditions while the rest of the crew will cool the fuselarge with water spray.
Rescue teams will search the aircraft systematically depending on the layout, The last thing you want is for the rescue teams to impead escaping passengers.

Military aircraft fast jet 4 stages of rescue
1. Gain entry- normally port side of the aircraft ( right hand side when looking at nose of aircraft)
2. Make ejection seat safe- between legs of pilot.
3. release safety harnesses of pilot- mask,arms,Personal Equipment Connector (PEC), leg restraints, Personal survival pack (PSP) and lastly the main quick release harness
4. Lift out pilot- ant way you find comfortable.

Other factors to mess rescue and firefighting
Use of man made mineral fibres in the construction of aircraft is a problem. you have to cordon the aircraft in two sectors inner cordon 30m and outer cordon 100m, Basically,only personnel wearing BA in the inner cordon and they have to be decontaminated.Only personnel wearing respiratory protection in the 100m cordon. Every one else at the 100m control point. Ihave to stop there if you need specific advice please drop me a text.

I'm a candidate for IFE Graduate exam, part of the syllables requires that I have the "UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS/FEATURES, OPERATIONS, AND FUNCTIONS OF ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES USED BY THE FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICES FOR FIREFIGHTING OR SPECIAL INCIDENTS. Your help with soft copies of relevant information will be highly appreciated. Thanks to all.  My e-mail:blesseddanny2k@yahoo.com
