In this episode of The Real ResQ Podcast, host Jason Quinn is joined by Joe Sarber and Bob Yanacsek, founders of FROST.
FROST is a company that provides Fast Response Operational Safety Teams (FROST) for airshows. They specialize in creating a safe environment and providing immediate support in case of incidents or emergencies. The team consists of first responders and firefighters who are trained in aircraft rescue and firefighting.
The team strategically sets up their equipment and vehicles near the runway to ensure a quick response time. FROST also acts as a consultant to local fire departments, providing them with extraction plans and guidance on handling aircraft-related incidents. The team travels to airshows across the United States and has a close-knit relationship with the performers and other industry professionals.
FROST has responded to various incidents at airshows, including a plane that accidentally shut off its engine mid-air, a plane swap gone wrong, and a crowd member who had a stroke and hit his head. They have also been recognized with two awards: the Pinnacle Award for Service Providers in the International Council of Air Shows (ICAST) in 2018, and the Des Barker Safety Award in 2022. Enjoy!
