The tests will run tonight (Tuesday, 1/4/22), tomorrow (1/5/22) and Thursday (1/6/22).
This is an example of a drill at Tampa International Airport.
A specialized team of firefighters at Tampa International Airport extinguished flames up to 40-50 feet in the air. During this training exercise, the prop is used to simulate an aircraft on fire with burning jet fuel. This type of training happens yearly. pic.twitter.com/b3gpCi9n5I
