The Rogue Valley International – Medford Airport (MFR) will be conducting a live-fire training exercise May 25-27, as part of the Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting’s (ARFF) annual training program.
ARFF, along with the Medford Fire Department and Jackson County Fire District 3, will be conducting live-fire training on the east apron between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. each day.
The training exercise uses a 50-foot fuselage mobile aircraft trainer, capable of producing controlled fire scenarios including a fully engulfed aircraft. Smoke should be minimal as the exercise use propane and water to mitigate environmental impacts but smoke may visible in the nearby area.
