Calgary International Airport Emergency Response Services protects YYC’s 14 km² airfield and its tens of thousands of daily travellers. The division operates high-reach extendable-turret vehicles capable of dousing aircraft from rooftop vantage points, and crews train year-round on a live-fire fuselage simulator visible from some terminal windows. Behind the scenes, firefighters also handle medical calls, hazardous-materials containment, and wildlife management to keep runways clear. Aviation buffs can sometimes catch public demonstrations during emergency-preparedness week, making the service an intriguing stop for travellers with long layovers.
