    Description
    This course is designed to develop fundamental skills in combating aircraft fires by providing students with recurrent training in live fire, with an aircraft mock-up using enough fuel to provide a fire that simulates a realistic condition. The course provides an opportunity for the firefighting team to be familiarized with the use of all fire extinguishing equipment, enhance confidence and abilities with equipment used in an actual accident/incident, and develop appropriate tactics, strategies, and procedures. A simulated rescue of aircraft occupants creates a realistic simulation.
