The Country Fire Service have a large number of the Airports and airstrips which lie within the brigade response areas. Brigades that look after these risks have had specialist training in aviation disasters.
As a sideline to this, the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) have access to a number
of airstrips located on interstate highways in remote areas which incorporate a
safe landing area with a taxi apron and windsock. This provides a safe area
to meet an ambulance or other vehicles in cases of emergency. There is one
on the Nulabour Plain towards Western Australia, and one on the way towards the
Northern Territory.
