It also provides flying instruction courses. As the station manager, my first remit was for the safety of all passengers coming into the airport. My role saw me responsible for fire safety compliance and liaising with the Fire Authority enforcement officer. I reported, monitored and investigated all fire related incidences. I attended the monthly Airport Fire Working Group providing input into new projects, reporting investigated fire calls and remedial actions taken. During my time there, we introduced two new fire appliances. As part of the team rolling out the project worth £1.5m I was responsible for configuration, layout and implementation of fire fighting equipment, including designing and delivering training for staff. We also undertook a major off airport simulation exercise to test ALL emergency service and response units for Rescue and Fire Fighting services. We recreated an airport in the Cotswolds, transporting major equipment by road and putting into place via a crane. We hired actors and attendees from several organisations to make it as realistic as possible. This provided a fantastic training simulation allowing us to provide the highest quality of fire safety training. Show less
