Yeah I know. The Safety Officers at MCI Wichita work 24-48. Here is the break down 8 hours sleep fire house, 8 hours terminal TSA duty, 8 hours patrol. The Captain and Lt are always assigned to the fire house either as dispatch or fire engines. Everyone is awake during the first 8 hours of the shift and then the sleep rotation starts. It is an odd set up. The Airport Public Safety is a city department and many of the WFD personel question why the city has never made the Airport part of the fire department and give WPD the other half. It would deffiently make sense. WFD has to respond in tandem with Public Safety to any emergency in the airport buildings. So for any EMS you get Airport Safety, WFD, and Sedgwick County EMS.



Stay Safe, Rick
