Firefighters hold training drill at Danbury Airport

The Danbury Fire Department held a training session at Danbury Municipal Airport yesterday afternoon.  They responded to mock aircraft emergencies and crash scenarios on one of the runways to make the situations as realistic as possible. 

 

The Danbury Municipal Airport Administration secured an aircraft fuselage along with all the permissions necessary to operate directly on the airport property.  Firefighters worked in concert with Danbury Police, Emergency Medical Services, Airport Administration and the Airport Tower Control personnel during an aircraft emergency incident training. 

 

 

The scenarios included a mock accident with no injuries, a scenario where the plane landed safely but the pilot was combative and refusing to cooperate, and an after-hours aircraft accident drill.  The final training situation was a mock aircraft accident.  A fire and mock victims were staged to completing the training.
