Community Notice: Fire Training Exercise Alert

The Prince George Airport Authority (PGAA) will be conducting live fire Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) training from October 15–22, 2025, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily.

This training is an important part of maintaining the airport’s emergency response readiness. Fire crews will be practicing realistic aircraft fire scenarios at the airport’s fire training centre.

Residents and airport visitors may notice controlled flames and smoke during this period—this is part of the exercise and not an emergency.

The live fire exercises support both recertification for existing personnel and initial training for new Aircraft Operations Specialists (AOS3s) and seasonal team members as they prepare for the upcoming winter operations season.

We appreciate the community’s understanding as we continue to ensure the safety of passengers, staff, and aircraft operations at YXS.
