Airport-disaster simulation training took place in Fargo

Fargo, North Dakota – In order to meet FAA requirements, first responders had airport-disaster simulation training. Training simulations like this one are conducted once in three years.

“We’re having an exercise that’s simulating an airplane crash at the airport. We’ve got a total of 60 victims on the airplane,” said Hector International Airport Fire Chief David Bush.

About 15 first responder agencies took place in this training.

“We have multiple fire departments, we’ve got multiple P.D. resources, EMS resources and they’re going to work through the emergency and mitigate it the best they can,” Bush said.

The purpose of this training was to evaluate how first responders work under pressure.
