Synopsis of Field Test n°3 – Vescavo pass
French fire-fighters headquarter “CODIS” is alerted about a civil airplane
disappearance in the region of the French/Italian border, near Sospel.
In the same time, a lot of phone calls from civilian informs the French fire-
fighters about an airplane crash, near the Vescavo pass.
National airplane service informs CODIS that this plane had 5 persons on
board and was in charge of a chemical container transportation. CODIS call
the prefecture of Nice to disseminate the information to the national level.

Chronological actions during the field test
1. Reconnaissance of the crash area by using PDA
2. CODIS 06 / SOUP Imperia liaison by the ESS portal to inform and ask reinforcement
3. Build the French/Italian PCO (prefecture of Nice and Imperia)
4. Medical details sending via the ESS portal
5. Crisis sectoring between French and Italian means.
6. Fire behavior details by asking UAV and balloon, to watch the real situation from
headquarters and Field Command Posts (FCP).
7. Use of CCPD Vintimille (shared police corp).
8. Leadership changing when the fire through the border
9. French reinforcement for the Olivetta San Michele town
10. Emergency management when a French truck is touched by flames
