The Airport Fire Service responding at the crash site of a previous simulated exercise
The Ogle International Airport will be conducting a full-scale Emergency Training exercise today, February 27 in order to assess how well participants would respond to an emergency at the airfield.
According to information reached, an airplane crash will be simulated and all participants, such as airport security and other staff, would be required to follow all necessary protocol in the event of an actual emergency.
This full-scale training exercise will be facilitated and observed by Lieutenant Jack Mc Govern from the US Department of Emergency Management.
He is a Specialist on Mass Casualty Incident Management and is an instructor at the Art Williams & Harry Wendt Aeronautical Engineering School.
The purpose of this activity will be to test the airport’s emergency responses while providing hands-on experience for airport and airline staff, hospital, fire service, security and other emergency personnel.
During the simulation exercise, personnel will respond as they would in a real emergency, including the use of sirens, firefighting equipment and emergency vehicles.
