3. Fire Safety Protocols at Aerodromes 3 /23 Efficient airport facility management is essential for safe aircraft operations. ARFF involves responding to emergencies , evacuations , and mitigating hazards at the airport. Local authorities handle incidents outside the airport

4. Purpose 4 /23 Airports are complex, and fires are a big risk, We need better safety plans to prevent fires and ensure everyone can escape safely

5. Types of Fire 5 /23 Class A Ordinary combustibles, such as wood, paper, and cloth Class B Flammable and combustible liquids, such as gasoline and oil Class C Fires involving energized electrical equipment Class D Metal fires, such as magnesium, titanium and potassium

6. The Risk of Fire 6 /23 Aircraft Fires Fuel Fires Structural Fires Fuel, engine malfunctions, and electrical faults can cause devastating fires Inadequate storage and safety measures increase the risk of fuel fires Fires can occur at airport structures, including terminals, maintenance facilities, and administrative buildings

7. Causes of Fire 7 /23 Human Error Environmental Factors Equipment Failures Errors made by airport staff, maintenance teams, or aircrews can contribute to fire incidents Natural disasters and extreme weather events increase fire risk Equipment failures, including hydraulic system and electrical malfunctions, can lead to fires

8. Causes of Aerodrome Fire 8 /23 Electrical Faults Electricity supply and usage account for a significant percentage of aerodrome fires Fuel Leakage Fuel leakage during refueling and maintenance is a major cause of fire outbreaks in aerodromes Technical Failure Technical malfunction resulting from inadequate maintenance or faulty equipment can cause aerodrome fires

9. Case Studies 9 /23 Airline Incident Traveling by air is considered safe , but unfortunately there are still potential risks to be aware of. We highlight some recent incidents to explain how airlines have learned from them and improved safety

10. C-130 Aircraft Incident (1998) 10 /23 What happened? What action was taken? What were the consequences? A C-130 aircraft caught fire due to the overheating of the braking system while conducting taxi test (high speed aborts) at Chaklala Air Base, resulting in a collision with another parked C-130 Five crew members lost their lives, and four others were injured. Both the aircraft were damaged and became unserviceable Measures such as improved maintenance practices, enhanced training for handling emergency situations, and upgrades to aircraft safety systems were implemented to prevent future accidents

11. Fire-Fighting and Rescue Operations 11 /23 Standard Operating Procedures Helicopter Rescue Fire-Fighting Equipment Firefighters must be well-equipped and trained on how to respond quickly to emergencies Helicopters can be used for rescue operations and transportation of individuals in emergency situations Proper functioning fire-fighting equipment is essential to combat fire incidents at aerodromes

12. Evacuation Procedures and Passenger Safety 12 /23 Clear and concise instructions Quick response team Evacuation training Providing clear and concise instructions can help passengers and staff evacuate safely in an emergency situation A Quick Response team should be available to handle emergency situations quickly and effectively and provide medical assistance if required Regular evacuation drills and training need to be conducted to ensure that staff is well-prepared to respond during emergencies

13. Safety Measures 13 /23 1 Fire Prevention Measures Necessary to reduce fire risk and provide protection for the facility 2 Active Fire Protection Systems Involve the use of fire suppression systems, alarms fire extinguishers and smoke control systems 3 Passive Fire Protection Systems Structural elements used to reduce the spread of fire and provide evacuation routes for occupants

14. Safety Measures 14 /23 4 Smoke detectors Smoke detectors need to be installed in all areas of the aerodrome to detect fire early on and avoid a major disaster 5 Sprinkler system Efficient sprinkler systems can help suppress the fire and prevent it from spreading to other areas in case of an eventuality 6 Fire Emergency Responder teams Fire Emergency Responder teams should be prepared and equipped to handle any emergency situations

15. Mitigation Measures 15 /23 Rescue and Emergency Services The government provides specialized services such as victim support for air distress incidents Strategically located to provide rapid response times in case of an emergency Advanced technologies for detecting fire and environmental risk levels to prevent incidents Monitoring and Alert Systems Fire Stations

16. Challenges and Future Directions 16 /23 Lack of resources The implementation of these measures requires a significant amount of investment that might not be feasible for all airports Training and Capacity Building Training and capacity building activities are crucial for equipping firefighters and staff with the necessary skills to handle emergencies Adoption of New Technologies The adoption of the latest technologies and innovations in fire safety must be considered for ensuring quick response and safe operations at the aerodromes

17. Fire Vehicles 17 /23 There are various types of fire vehicles tailored to different emergency scenarios, including: Crash tenders: Specifically designed to respond to aircraft emergencies on runways and airfields. Rapid intervention vehicles : Swift-response units equipped for quick deployment in various situations. Foam tenders: Vehicles equipped with foam systems for suppressing fuel fires.

18. Conclusion 20/23 Enhancing fire safety protocols in aerodromes is vital for keeping passengers, staff and infrastructure safe. Proactive measures need to be implemented to mitigate the challenges that arise with such implementations to ensure safer air travel

19. Recommendations 20/23 Raise awareness through training and capacitate building on the importance of fire safety among the staff Implement and maintain a strong regulatory framework that oversees the implementation of fire safety in aerodromes Invest in the latest technologies and innovation to improve emergency response systems .
