2025 Second Alert HiPo#13 MVI roll over
During a response time exercise at Fahud Airport, a fire truck (Tigon 1) rolled over while making a left turn from Taxiway Alpha onto the runway. Three firefighters inside the truck self-evacuated without injuries, but the truck sustained significant damage. The airport runway was closed, and emergency response teams were mobilized immediately.
Do you adjust speed according to road and turn conditions? How do you ensure defensive driving principles during emergency response? What steps do you take as a driver and passenger to maintain safety? How do you plan for dynamic risks during non-routine tasks? Do you know when and how to activate Stop Work Authority?
High Speed During Turn: The fire truck was traveling at 67 km/h, which was excessive for the sharp turn radius. Pressure to Meet Response Time: Driver aimed to achieve the 2-minute response requirement. No Specific SOP: There was no dedicated Standard Operating Procedure for driving fire trucks inside the airport during emergencies. Competency Gap: Driver held required licenses but lacked specialized emergency vehicle handling experience. Parallel Movement Practice: Fire trucks moved in parallel during turns, reducing maneuvering space and stability
