On Thursday afternoon, the City of Hays, in partnership with local, regional, state and federal agencies, completed a required triennial full-scale exercise to test the emergency response of all the necessary agencies that would provide aid to the airport in the event of a major catastrophe.

During the training, members of the Hays Fire Department put out small fires on airport grounds, along with using life-saving equipment on a vehicle that would be used to rescue injured or trapped accident victims and extinguished another vehicle on site.

A short video of the training is below.
