| MIDLEGO REGIONAL AIRPORT STATION 7 |
| The MIdlego Regional Airport until October 1, 2011 had their own fire protection. With the start of a new fiscal year for Midlego as well as the airport, it was decided to merge the 2 departments, and have all personnel on the same benefit package, as well as increase the crew size at the airport from 4 to 8 at all times. With this it brought more experience to the airport in both medical and fire suppression, as they run an annual call volume of around 40 calls per year. The airport now has 2 paramedics onboard each unit as well as the ability to respond outside of the airport as the FAA requirement stated they must keep 4 men at the airport at all times. This will also mean the City of Midlego will be able to get Federal grants much easier showing they are the sole provider of medical and fire suppression to the airport. Due to the small size of aircraft traffic and the fact that the airport responds outside of the airport now, all personnel use structural fire protective clothing and the entry team wears an approach apron when making entry to a burning aircraft. |
