Dublin Airport Hosts Airport Fire Chiefs Annual Conference

More than 95 Airport Fire Chiefs from UK and European Airports will gather in the Radisson SAS Hotel at Dublin Airport on 23 January for a two day conference hosted by the Dublin Airport Authority's Chief Airport Fire Officer Gerry Keogh.
 
The two-day meeting of minds from the world of aviation fire and rescue will cover many important subjects in the area of fire and aircraft rescue such as new technology, training practices, recovery of aircraft and examination of specific aircraft evacuation and recovery scenarios.
 
"The theme for this years conference is Emergency Planning. With the skies becoming more and more busy it is critical that passengers have confidence in the emergency and rescue services that all airports provide," said DAA's Chief Airport Fire Officer and conference host Gerry Keogh. "As aircraft get bigger and more sophisticated, the importance of keeping abreast of the latest fire and rescue technology, together with sharing of airport experiences in the area of aircraft rescue and recovery, cannot be over stated," concluded the Airport Fire Chief.
