Narrative:
A C210 was on landing roll when the nose gear broke and the aircraft skidded off the runway. This report is about the emergency equipment. I work at cps. It does not have an on station fire department. During emergency procedures, we must dial 911 for the volunteer fire department. Their response was good, but they left the house without the proper radios and keys to the gates. I had to have a police officer in the tower to coordinate between the fire chief and myself. I also had to have one of the FBO's people and an airport authority/authorized person coordinate movement of emergency vehicles with myself. This was the first of 2 accidents I had within 10 mins. I feel that if there was an on station fire department response time, radio communications and confusion would have been minimized. Supplemental information from acn 397178: a C210 was on landing roll on a parallel runway 30R. It lost its brakes and went off the end of the runway. This was the second of 2 incidents within 10 mins on parallel runways. The emergency equipment was already on station for the previous accident.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ATCT LCL CTLR ENCOUNTERED 2 ON ARPT EMERS APPROX 10 MINS APART. CFR EQUIP RESPONSE SLOWED DUE TO OFF ARPT RESPONSE AND PROBS WITH ARPT ACCESS. RPTR CONCERNED THAT CITY ARPT CFR NOT ON SITE.
Narrative: A C210 WAS ON LNDG ROLL WHEN THE NOSE GEAR BROKE AND THE ACFT SKIDDED OFF THE RWY. THIS RPT IS ABOUT THE EMER EQUIP. I WORK AT CPS. IT DOES NOT HAVE AN ON STATION FIRE DEPT. DURING EMER PROCS, WE MUST DIAL 911 FOR THE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPT. THEIR RESPONSE WAS GOOD, BUT THEY LEFT THE HOUSE WITHOUT THE PROPER RADIOS AND KEYS TO THE GATES. I HAD TO HAVE A POLICE OFFICER IN THE TWR TO COORDINATE BTWN THE FIRE CHIEF AND MYSELF. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE ONE OF THE FBO'S PEOPLE AND AN ARPT AUTH PERSON COORDINATE MOVEMENT OF EMER VEHICLES WITH MYSELF. THIS WAS THE FIRST OF 2 ACCIDENTS I HAD WITHIN 10 MINS. I FEEL THAT IF THERE WAS AN ON STATION FIRE DEPT RESPONSE TIME, RADIO COMS AND CONFUSION WOULD HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 397178: A C210 WAS ON LNDG ROLL ON A PARALLEL RWY 30R. IT LOST ITS BRAKES AND WENT OFF THE END OF THE RWY. THIS WAS THE SECOND OF 2 INCIDENTS WITHIN 10 MINS ON PARALLEL RWYS. THE EMER EQUIP WAS ALREADY ON STATION FOR THE PREVIOUS ACCIDENT.
