ARFF training at Chicago Executive Airport, 8-19-20

Firefighters from the Prospect Heights Fire Protection District (FPD) and the Wheeling Fire Department (FD) recently joined forces for an intensive training session focused on aircraft rescue and firefighting at the Chicago Executive Airport. The collaborative effort was aimed at enhancing their skills and coordination in handling emergency situations involving aircraft. As part of the training, firefighters were given hands-on experience with various specialized vehicles designed specifically for airport firefighting. Among the equipment they practiced with were the Oshkosh P-19 ARFF, which is renowned for its robust performance in challenging conditions, the Rosenbauer America Timberwolf with a bumper turret, offering advanced firefighting capabilities, and the E-ONE Titan 4x4 ARFF, known for its agility and power. The training scenarios included realistic simulations of fires breaking out near airplanes, requiring firefighters to quickly assess the situation and deploy appropriate strategies. Photos by Larry Shapiro captured moments of these intense exercises, showing firefighters in action as they entered burning aircraft and battled flames using both vehicle-mounted systems and handheld lines. One particularly striking image shows firefighters stepping into a mock-up of an aircraft engulfed in smoke and flames, demonstrating their readiness to handle real-life emergencies. Another powerful photograph captures firefighters working together to control flames near an airplane, highlighting their teamwork and expertise under pressure. These training sessions are crucial for maintaining high standards of preparedness among first responders. They provide valuable opportunities for firefighters to refine their techniques and build confidence in operating complex machinery while ensuring public safety remains their top priority.
