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.
