The mission ended around 9:15 p.m., after which the road was released for traffic again and the residents were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

### Airport fire brigade in use

The Stuttgart airport fire brigade has over 100 years of history in mobility design and plays a central role in safety at the airport. It is particularly important for the fire brigade to react quickly, because operating times are crucial. As the official side of Stuttgart Airport explains, the fire brigade's focus is not only geared towards defensive fire protection; A large number of tasks also include assistance on aircraft and safety monitoring of terminals, administrative buildings and parking garages as well as support for special operations.

In a larger context, the importance of airport fire brigades can also be examined using the example of Airport Nuremberg. These record around 1,400 missions a year and must have their fire trucks at the scene within three minutes. In an emergency, up to 24,300 liters of water and 450 kg of extinguishing powder are used in order to delete fires as quickly as possible. Such standards show how important correct preparation and quick reaction are in aviation.

### Appeal with responsibility

For the Stuttgart Airport Fire Brigade, not only the fast operating times are important, but also modern training methods and continuous career opportunities that are offered for employees. They have to be trained steadily in order to be able to act reliably in an emergency. There are numerous initiatives at the airport that help employees continue to train and train to constantly expand their skills.

The large -scale operation on Monday was certainly an impressive example of how well the cooperation between different emergency services works. In the end, not only the security of the passengers counts, but also that of the residents around the airport. One can be happy that it is reacted so well in an emergency, because there is more than just a challenge in the air.
