Exercise at the airport: plane caught fire after crash
A charter plane has to abort take-off and collides with a small aircraft. It is on fire. Passengers are trapped. Then a helicopter crashes. Fortunately, this scenario was only an exercise on Friday. Around 75 emergency personnel from the airport and external rescuers were deployed.
The alarm went off at 2 p.m. on Friday. Shortly afterwards, the first airport fire department vehicles raced to the scene and began extinguishing the fire. The airport fire engine "Panther" had to be launched within 90 seconds.
Numerous emergency services from the blue light organizations were involved in the scenario. In addition to the airport fire department, the professional fire department and volunteers were also deployed. The Red Cross, police and crisis intervention team provided support. The main focus of the training was on the interaction between the various organizations.
The exercise was documented in an incident log. A drone also recorded the events. Airport operations continued as normal at the same time.
