<\/a>Part\u20133 of the Fire Safety Merit Badge was held at Fire Station-5 located at Valley International Airport next door to the campus. The mission of Station-5 is aircraft rescue and fire-fighting. Boy Scouts<\/b> from MMA Troop 22 and St. Alban\u2019s Troop 206 were treated to a superb presentation expertly conducted by fire-fighting professional and battalion chief Mr. Darrell Loftus. They learned that the characteristics of aircraft fires are much different than home or building fires, and fire-fighting equipment and procedures are also different. Scouts were given the rare opportunity to climb around the specialized trucks and wear-test individual equipment.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/h2>\nBoy Scouts Tour Fire Station<\/h2>\n

A view of the runway from inside (and outside) the station reveals a runway area of vast acreage that the team is responsible for. It was a deep learning experience for the Scouts. The boys came away with a much greater understanding and appreciation of the challenges of aircraft fire and rescue.<\/p>\nBoy Scouts Photos<\/h3>\n
