The School provides highly practical and personalised training. Practical training consisting of hands-on, true-to-life simulated
exercises are conducted by practicing rescue and fire-fighting professionals. Class size is kept small to ensure personalised attention
and safety at all times during training. Renowned overseas and local experts are regularly invited to lecture on specialised subjects to
provide participants with insights on the latest trends and developments on airport emergency planning, tactical skills and techniques
in fire-ground leadership.
Customised Facilities
A comprehensive range of fire simulators is designed to fully train and test fire-fighting and safety skills of participants. The
simulators are maintained at a dedicated fire training ground where participants undergo true-to-life simulated exercises involving
undercarriage fires, internal aircraft fires, fires at fuel installations, vertical fire wall and flashover fires. The Airport Foam Tender
Driving Simulator with a motion platform is able to generate various emergency scenarios such as aircraft fires or crashes to enhance
realism in training.
To provide rescue training in various realistic environments, Controlled-environment Breathing Apparatus Simulator and Confined
Space Simulator are used. The School also houses a fully-equipped fire station, with two large foam tenders and a rapid intervention
vehicle, capable of staging full-scale aircraft crash response exercises.

OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVES
This workshop provides the essential skills needed for safe and defensive driving of a major foam tender. Through the use of a stateof-the art driving simulator with a motion platform, participants will acquire the skills and develop capabilities required to handle
the foam tender in an emergency through experiential learning. The simulator also generates various emergency scenarios such as
aircraft fires or crashes to train participants to drive the vehicle under various scenarios, including heavy rain, poor visibility conditions
and difficult terrains. The operational maintenance and technical inspections of a major foam tender and airside safety regulations
will also be covered.
This workshop provides training on effective emergency management, from planning to command and control at major incidents,
including handling terrorism incidents. Besides acquiring knowledge on emergency operations, strategies and tactics, participants
will also gain better understanding of the structure and functions of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
