Miami International Airport

Miami International Airport is protected from two ARFF Stations.
Miami Dade Station 12 and  Station 59.

The MIA International Airport ARFF Main Station (Station 12) is located about mid-field between 12/30 and
8R / 26L west of the main terminals. It appears that the majority of the ARFF apparatus, Engine 12,
and an Ambulance, as well as other equipment respond out of this station. This view is of the south
side of the station taken in February 2014 during an aircraft landing.

respond out the north (back side) of the station.

Crash Truck 1 appeared to be training.

Timing being everything, several apparatus responded to a call just as our plane arrived.
This appeared to be an EMS vehicle.

A mini-pumper / squad type unit responding.

A qunit aerial ladder "59" responding.

Engine 12 responding.

 

The Northside Station (Station 59) located on the northern side of the airfield facing 8L / 26R appeared to
be home to some of the structural apparatus including the Quint Aerial Ladder 59 and QRV-59
the mini-pumper vehicle.
