The Burlington International Airport will conduct a simulated aviation incident to test its emergency preparedness from 6:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, June 7, 2014.

The Federal Aviation Administration requires a full-scale emergency exercise at least once every three years. This drill allows airport staff and community first responders the opportunity to perform as they would in a real emergency. The exercise will test the airport’s emergency response while providing hands-on training to airport personnel, local jurisdictions and other emergency personnel. During the exercise, emergency personnel will respond as in a real emergency, including the use of sirens, firefighting and rescue equipment.

The exercise will not impact passengers or flight schedules.
