The BAC (Brisbane Airport Corporation) held an emergency services and BAC interoperability exercise on 05/10 to test the response times and operational control if a major incident occurred at the airport. A plane explosion was the subject of this exercise, and involved staff and personnel from the QFRS, QAS, DES, QPS, ARFF, and the BAC. On scene were QFRS 501b, 507a, 511a (pumps), 501t (incident control), 850L (technical response), ARFF ultra large fire vehicles (ULFV) 1, 2, and 3, ARFF 5 domestic response (DRV), numerous QAS vehicles, QPS RBT unit (used for incident control perhaps?), SES staff, actors/actresses, and finally flight attendants from Virgin Blue. Two BCC buses were used to simulate a plane's cabin, and a Caribou body was used to simulate the aircraft fire.

Mark, nice to see how most of the firies can manage a big smile for the camera whilst treating injured and maimed people Looks like an interesting exercise

very very well run exercise... almost a little too real with the screaming art students....

cheers

I once played the part of an aircrash victim in WA, so that the WA government could showcase their new flashy multimillion dollar rescue helicopter, and then the bloody thing nearly landed on me. I had to get up and run out of the way, totally out of character for a dead body.

Great pics again Mark.
