Videos: Emergency Personnel Attend Airport
[Updated] For two days in a row, emergency personnel have been seen at the L.F. Wade International Airport. Emergency vehicles met the Air Canada flight #942 which arrived at from Toronto this afternoon [Mar.3]. Two fire trucks and an ambulance were on standby to greet the arriving plane. We unofficially understand that emergency personnel were on scene to assist a sick passenger.
Bermuda Airport Fire Service vehicles were also seen last night [Mar 2] seen at LF Wade International Airport, with details of what occurred unclear, but believed to be some form of spill.
Bits of what appeared to be foam were seen blowing, and work men were seen busy tending to an area behind the bulk fuel storage tanks. We have been unable to obtain a statement clarifying the situation from officials as of yet, but hope to be able to update as able.
