MES North-West Regional Center holds an exercise at Gabala International Airport

The North-West Regional Center of the Ministry of Emergency Situations held an exercise on “Activities in possible emergency situations at the airport” at Gabala International Airport.

The exercise was organized in order to improve the effectiveness of the relevant security measures implemented at the Gabala International Airport, promptly resolve the tasks assigned to structural units in the event of emergencies, improve the practical skills of personnel in this area, and further strengthen the interaction of government agencies during emergency rescue operations.

The exercise simulated a situation of a sudden fire during scheduled maintenance work, as well as a fire and rescue operation carried out in the airport passenger waiting room based on a conditional fire report.

Thus, during the exercise, the forces and means of the Ministry of Emergency Situations were involved in the scene of the incident and tasks were worked out on the prompt "extinguishing" of a simulated fire that broke out on board of an aircraft and in the waiting room, as well as on rescuing "victims" and handing over them to the airport's medical personnel.

In total, 46 personnel and 9 equipment were involved in the training.

After successful training, the results were analyzed and appropriate tasks were given.
