The airport’s firefighters are tasked first and foremost with the safety of aviation and the flying public at Piedmont Triad International Airport but are also tasked with traditional firefighting responsibilities to include structural firefighting, emergency medical services, and response to other emergencies as needed.

Our firefighters are also trained as Part 139 inspectors and regularly perform inspections to ensure the safe operations of aircraft as required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
