THE TEAM

    The Fire & Rescue department is important to an airport.  Not only is it there in case of a building fire, but it is also available in case there are problems with a plane.  They help if someone is sick and needs to get off of a plane.  

Fire & Rescue truck

      They will put out a fire on the plane or rescue a person stranded somewhere. They will also clean up any gas, oil, or chemical on the runway or fields in between them.   We saw a couple of trucks when we visited, but the larger airports have more.  The garage is located close to the Passenger terminal and the runways so that they can reach the problem no matter where it is.  You need a security code to get in.    This is just another way that the airports try to make it safer for you.
