The Fire and Rescue Service Operational Guidance - Railway Incidents presents a framework for a safe system of work for operations at incidents involving railways. It provides robust yet flexible guidance that can be adapted to the nature, scale and requirements of the incident. Incidents involving railways may generate intense media attention where the operations of the emergency services are rigorously scrutinised. Whilst much of this attention is approving it will invariably focus on the preparedness of the emergency services and their operational effectiveness. Such incidents may place significant demands on local fire and rescue services and often require a national co-ordinated response from across the country

Train Track Rescue (TV Episode #208) Sixteen-year-old Joe Terry of Merced, California was sitting on his front porch when he noticed two small neighbor children playing on the nearby railroad tracks. Although hearing-impaired, Joe heard a faint train whistle. He reached the children and scooped them off the tracks only an instant before the train reached them, in a rescue so close that the train engineer stopped down the track to report that he'd hit several children! Also included in Vol 10: Up In Flames (TV Ep #203) Brothers Kris and Kelly Cheater of Stoughton, Saskatchewan (Canada) were marking a field for their father, who was flying a crop-dusting plane. To their horror, their father's small plane caught on a power line, flipped upside down and crashed -- then burst into flames. The two boys had to pull the burning plane apart with their bare hands to save their father. Hero Babysitter Twelve-year-old Katrina Attaman of Anaheim, California was playing outside when she heard the woman next door scream for help. She ran over to discover that her neighbor's two-year-old son -- a child for whom she often babysat -- was at the bottom of the swimming pool. Katrina used skills she'd learned in her Red Cross Babysitter's Course to administer artificial respiration until the baby started breathing again.
