Some
pictures of the emergency exercise at Brussels Airport on April 19th.
A great demonstration of to demonstrate the peoples involved are ready in case
of accident. Thank you to the Public relation dept and all the services of
Brussels Airport. (click on the pictures to see)
Everything
is ready to start the exercise. A Boeing 737 with 80 passengers on board was
hit by a bus. The bus is on his side and an engine fire started on the aircraft.
The Firemen
and Rescue Dept of Brussels Airport had left their barracks and are fighting
the engine fire.
Figurants
from the Red Cross and volunteers simulating the victims of the crass are
evacuated by the firemen of the Brussels Airport Dept. The “passengers” played
their role realistically.
During the
exercise, business as usual for the airport although some of personal are
involved and need to react as for a real accident.
A small
part of the personal and vehicles involved in the exercise including nearby firemen
barracks, emergency services and police from around the airport. A lot of
police and emergency services also send teams to participate and learn from the
exercise. Cooperation between the different services was also an important part
of the test.
An emergency
first aid post was setup in the new firemen barrack. The volunteers continued
to play their role as victims.
Amongst the
firemen involved, here members of the Brussels Regio rescue service.
