New Jersey's Teterboro Airport has an average of 500 flights a day, but taking in smaller planes requires unique training. JennaMDeAngelis got an exclusive hands-on experience with new equipment preparing on-site first responders.
When flying, a smooth takeoff and landing is always the goal and while crashes are rare, crews have to be ready for worst case scenario.
"It's the best thing you can get for experience as opposed to the real thing," said Sgt. Richard Kuncken. That requires different training, which is where the trainer comes in. The prop plane was filled with fake smoke and has a video screen that displays fire. Those participating in the training sprayed the fake flames. The technology eventually detected the water as if they were fighting a real fire. Firefighters use a thermal imaging camera to find hot spots or trapped victims.
