Construction Starts On New Airport Fire Station


The construction of a $8.2 million ultra-modern airport fire station officially commenced yesterday with a ground-breaking ceremony at the Grantley Adams International Airport. The ceremony was attended by the Attorney-General and Minister of Home Affairs Freundel Stuart, Minister of Transport, Works and International Transport John Boyce, Chairman of GAIA Inc, Rawle Branker, acting Chief Fire Officer Anthony Blackman and other invited officials.

The project which is being undertaken by Markham Construction is to be built in three phases over the next eighteen months. Phase 1 of the project is the construction of a three-storey building which should be completed in ten months.

The new fire station will be built in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organisation standards which outline the primary mandate of such stations.
