Rescue Exercises in Russia


This week the rescue exercises were held in the Moscow “Domodedovo” airport. According to the exercise legend a plane made an emergency landing because of the unopened right gear.

While the plane was making a landing all the airport services were lined up in operational readiness. If an accident takes place unexpectedly, the maximum response time for the first fire calculations is 2 minutes.

So, according to the legend, the plane landed and  ignited.

Big bonfire must have made the passengers,  a little bit nervous as they observed a burning plane and a whole lot of technical equipment from their windows.



While the firemen are putting out the fire, the rescuers rush to the passengers.

The fire that had broken out while the emergency landing was contained in 30 seconds.



Part of the pasengers walked down on their own and the other part got down with the help of the rope.


Those who are injured get covered with a special quilt.


When the fire is put out, the luggage gets unloaded out of the plane.


Meanwhile the ambulances take away the injured.

Have you ever seen such a first-aid kit?

If the emergency situation happens at night, special lightpoles are installed.

Training of the cooperation scheme between the airport emergency services is carried out annually.
