Big Country Fire Fighters Association Minutes


Date: July  27, 2009

Place: Tye

Host: 

Time: 1920

Training/Vendor: 

Don Cobb from Dyess Air Force Base  (Dispatch 696-2486) talked about plane crashes. Best 
thing is to contain the grass fire around the downed plane. Dyess will try to notify 
the dept. before hand, because Dyess usually know when a plane is in trouble.
B-1 has 4 personnel and may have weapons on it.
C-130 has 5 personnel and  plus a large number of personnel and no weapons.
If personnel (pilot) ejects and is seriously injuryed you can get Air evac headed to the scene and 
start first aid.
       
Bill Steele from  SFA, Haskell, Tx is now carrying almost anything a fire dept. needs: boots, both rubber 
and leather, bunker gear. The only thing he can not get right now is air bags.
