- When a pilot makes a Mayday distress call, or there's a plane on fire on the runway, these are the airport emergency service crew who swing into action as first responders. With an airplane taking off or landing every 80 seconds at Singapore's Changi, the world's best airport, #CNAInsider gets exclusive access to an emergency simulation where these select firefighters are trained to handle the real deal.

Thank you firefighters for your hard work and risking your lives to save others!
I used to work as an airport firefighter in Sweden and we had 20 seconds to get in the cars. Though we had to wear our protective gear accept from jacket at all times, if it weren't 2 hours between flights. Then we were allowed to take off the rest of the gear. Also the first firetruck had to reach the plane in 70 seconds and the other ones in 90 seconds. The foam used is called light water and it release oxygen when the bubbles in the foam breaks. That makes it possible to breathe as long as you brake the foam bubbles. So if you would be unlucky to end up in a plane fire and foam is used, remember to wave your hand lightly in front of your face and you can breathe.
Doning the full protective gear is bloody hot and not just anyone can tolerate the heat, besides the weight. Salute. Thank you, team.
Why do airport firetrucks look so much cooler than regular ones? I'm talking about the ones like at
A friend of mine left SCDF to join the Airport Emergency Group as a fire fighter. While in SCDF as a fire fighter, he had all kinds of "injuries" and was even exempted from taking IPPT. Eventually he was settled into the Operations room as an operator. Life was good and easy but the pay was less complimenting. When he heard that AES pays much more, he signed up and was accepted. Suddenly, all his "injuries" miraculously disappeared. I want to thank AES for healing him of his "injuries" and making his life so much more fulfilling. Heck! he can even take IPPT now.

Good job guys! Did a fantastic job on SQ Munich flight that was on fire. Professionalism.
Thank you guys for everything you do! The response time is mad!!
In my opinion, all of the firefighters which are all over the world should be deserved to all people’s respect and also receive higher values by all civilians. I really have respect for you all fighters and hope them to get their work done well without any precariousness.
With all due respect.. no hard feelings. These guys are well paid. Chances of plane fire in distress are nil... but the chances of fire in HDB heartlands and road accident are always there and happening. And these responders are the NSFs who attended to these emergenies. These NSFs are lowly paid but they serve with pride. Kudos to all NSFs firefighters and paramedics...
Respect
This is so cool. Thank you gentlemen.
Awesome. Our unsung heroes at work 24/7. 👍🏻🙏
Great Response! I used to join the Airport Fire Officer Course at SAA as well. Really miss all my brothers over there :)
I hope we feature the AES along with Stryker/Sentinel Prime in NDP 2020
Good job guys..At least i got to drive 1 of e RIV & Foam Tenders,during my 12years service wth AES..
Aes vehicles and stn is one of the best. Unfortunately they can't go out of airport boundary.
