If you remember correctly, this happened on February 8th at the Richmond Airport. I posted on the incident when it happened.

In similar news, Roanoke had an Airport Alert the other day. B-Shift was working. Thus keeping my ARFF calls at 0.

Richmond Fire had nothing to do with this incident. The airport is in HENRICO COUNTY. Henrico Fire responds to assist the Airport Fire dept and the Air National Guard Fire dept. The City Fire does not repsond to the air port unless it is a major event.

Thanks for the information. The tag at the bottom is merely for search engine. When I post, I usually put in a common tag, or something that might get hit in a search. For this I decided "Richmond Fire" would be a good choice. I did not mean to imply that the Airport was in Richmond, or that Richmond Fire Dept. would respond. I am aware of where the Airport is and who responds.
