MOSINEE, Wis. (WSAW) - Emergency staff from Central Wisconsin Airport, along with surrounding fire and emergency response crews, trained on how to put out an active plane fire on the runway on Wednesday. A simulated 911 call was made to area departments, sending helicopters, fire trucks, and ambulances responding from their home bases, seizing the moment to practice on a primary runway during construction. Volunteers also role-played as injured passengers. CWA Director Brian Grefe said when a fire starts on a plane, seconds matter.
