Rescue Situation Ground
Note;
• JRCC are unlikely to knowingly
send a CASARA ground team to
a crash site as first responders.
• However, there may be
circumstances where a CASARA
ground homing team may, due to
lack of valid information, be
involved as First on Scene
responders to a crash site.
• Precautions should be followed
to protect the victims and those
responders approaching the crash
site.
