The importance of first responders in Tunnels.


Inside Self-Protection Plan for tunnels, first responders should be seen as necessary to ensure the arrival of a first resort to emergency within 10 minutes into the fire inside a tunnel.

This type of first responders is considered essential in very long tunnels, from the 3,000 m, with a significant IMD, and where the response isochrones external emergency services, over 10 minutes.

management model of these first responders can be public or private, can be formed by professional firefighters' s own tunnel operator, assigned to other duties, usually for maintenance. Although the trend at European level is to professionalize these teams when not part of the Emergency Public Services.

In any case, European experiences show that these first responders have to have specific training and equipment, as well as recurrent training in attention and resolve incidents and emergencies within the tunnels.

Overall, it is considered that a team of First Responders with a staff of three well-trained troops and preparations are adequate funding for first responders to a 30 MW fire within a tunnel.

present in Spain, several tunnels have so effective with this type of first responders. Some very exemplary cases are:
- Emergency Service Tunnel Somport Hispano-French.
- Permanent Team Emergency Guadarrama Tunnels (AP-6, Iberpistas).
- First Intervention Team Madrid Calle 30.
- my first of Intervention Team Executive Airport Tunnel (M-12, OHL).
- First Team Intevrención of AP-1 (BIDEGI).
