The Chattanooga Fire Department on Tuesday, March 25, participated in a full-scale exercise with several other emergency response agencies at the Chattanooga Airport. The exercise, which began at 2:30 a.m. to avoid disrupting normal operations at the airport, involved a real plane, which was loaned to the fire department for the training. The department used its recruits in Fire Academy 2014 as mock victims. Emergency personnel triaged the “patients” and transported them by ambulance to another part of the airport.
