aircraft identification/pre-fire info on aircraft

hi, my name is shane hobson i have just joined, i am an airport firefighter with pemco aeroplex at the birmingham airport in alabama. i wanted to know if there is a program that work like a military tq manual exept for commercial and cargo type aircraft. we are wanting to do a book of pre-plan info on each aircraft and keep in our crash trucks for reference. also is there any place we can get pictures or videoa of crash truck accidents to use in our driver training.

Try going to www.sandpiperpublications.com They have information for ARFF crews on most all aircarft.

I was going to say the same, if not try www.airportnet.org this is the AAAE website, go to certification and training and then the ARFF section. there is a great amout of links to aircraft manufactures and some lesson plans.

I just bought the CD-rom from sandpiper, a little expensive but well worth the money. We are in the process of putting together a book for ourselves.

Tridget, we have found that going out and talking with the airlines and commericial is a great way to get information and crash charts. That of course is sometimes hard to do. However we have taken a video camera to shoot some shots of what is what and it has helped in actual incidents. Best of luck to you.

thanks for the help all. all the info has been very helpful. i am sure i will have more questions.

all of the listed suggestions are valid. the other thing I would recommend is that you contact the carrier for each assigned aircraft and get a personal tour. Ask questions about those specific aircraft and find out the ins and outs from the people who work on and fly them. then, take that information and create some of your own documents.

Check out Boeing's web site. I remember seeing information on it. It also had info on each aircraft in thier fleet. Ron
