Emergency exercise at TIA

[Carrie Pratt | Times]

Tampa firefighters walk back to their truck after starting a burn on an empty section of an airplane. Tampa International Airport conducted its Triennial Full Scale Emergency Response Exercise in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations. After firetrucks put out the fire, they made their way to the Delta Airlines Maintenance Hangar, where a triage and a decontamination unit was set up. Students from Chamberlain High School acted as victims from the simulated plane crash.
