EMS Day at TAAFD!

Dr. Beskind and South Campus residents from Banner Health took part in EMS Day with the Tucson Airport Authority Fire Department (TAAFD). From hands-on training to engaging with first responders, it was a great opportunity to learn, connect, and offer insights into the vital work of emergency medical services.

The Tucson Airport Fire Department recently partnered with Swissport, one of our fueling service partners, for a fire suppression training exercise. The training focused on fuel loads, extinguishing agents, and fire suppression techniques.

We also introduced our new digital fire extinguisher training system, which allows us to teach safe and effective extinguisher use in a controlled environment.

Joint training like this strengthens our coordination on the airfield and ensures we are ready to respond quickly and effectively when needed.
