Chief Fire Of­fi­cer Andy Hutchi­son has re­ject­ed claims by Keon Guy, pres­i­dent of the Fire Ser­vice As­so­ci­a­tion, re­gard­ing the ca­pa­bil­i­ties of the Crown Point Fire Sta­tion in sup­port­ing the new ANR Robin­son In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port ter­mi­nal.

Guy told Guardian Me­dia on Thurs­day that the sta­tion’s re­sources were in­suf­fi­cient and did not com­ply with In­ter­na­tion­al Civ­il Avi­a­tion Or­ga­ni­za­tion (ICAO) stan­dards.

In a press re­lease, Hutchi­son said the Crown Point Fire Sta­tion is prop­er­ly staffed and equipped to han­dle all air­port emer­gen­cies in line with ICAO stan­dards, main­tain­ing the air­port’s Cat­e­go­ry 9 sta­tus. He as­sured that the sta­tion is ful­ly pre­pared for any po­ten­tial in­ci­dents.
