Organization of management of firefighting units with the use of modern fire and rescue equipment when extinguishing aircraft fires

Introduction. Tactical aspects of combat action management for aircraft fire extinguishing in case of fire inside the fuselage are considered. The author’s tactics of aircraft fuselage fires extinguishing using modern equipment in service with the State Fire Service units are proposed.

Goal and objectives. Optimization and improvement of management solutions for the elimination of emergency situations of aircraft accidents, as well as improvement of staffing and equipping of fire and rescue units.

Materials and methods. In the process of work the tactics used today to extinguish such fires by emergency rescue units were considered, as well as fire-tactical exercises to extinguish an aircraft on the territory of an international airport were carried out. Two calculations of combat operations on extinguishing fires with the use of available forces and means of rescue units were made: the calculation of the actually used extinguishing tactics and the calculation of the extinguishing tactics proposed by the authors of the paper after approbation of it during the exercises. In conclusion, a comparative analysis of the data obtained from the calculations is made.

Results and their discussion. As a result of the research, the author’s tactics were proposed, based on the application of modern technology designed for rapid fire extinguishing, namely, fire extinguishing installations with waterjet cutting “Cobra”. Based on the calculations made, comparative analysis and conclusions obtained, the authors of the paper recommend supplementing the units of search and rescuing services of our country’s flights with fire extinguishing installations with waterjet cutting “Cobra”, which are currently not available to these services.

Conclusions. As a result of the research a reasonable conclusion about the effectiveness and necessity of implementation of new tactics of fire extinguishing and additional staffing of the services of search and rescue support of our country’s flights with fire extinguishing units with waterjet cutting “Cobra” was obtained. Also, in the absence of graphical representation of the fire extinguishing installation with waterjet cutting “Cobra” in the regulatory documents of the EMERCOM of Russia, the authors of the paper developed and proposed to use in the pre-planning documents a graphical representation of the fire extinguishing installation with waterjet cutting “Cobra”, and to make changes in normative base of the EMERCOM of Russia in the form of graphical representation of this installation, as at present it is absent.
