It was a fun opportunity to connect with the next generation, give them a behind-the-scenes look at fire, EMS, ARFF operations, and share a little about what it takes to keep our airports safe every day.

Thanks to Delta for having us and to all the kids who stopped by with great questions and big smiles! 👨‍🚒👩‍🚒
