An emergency exercise event will be held at the City of Derry Airport tomorrow.
The airport is holding its biennial emergency training exercise in partnership with a range of emergency services and other voluntary organisations.
The exercise will commence at 9am and will end around 2pm.
A spokesperson for Derry City and Strabane District Council, which runs the airport, said the purpose of the exercise is to test CODA’s emergency and safety capability.
“During the exercise there will be Airport Fire Appliances & NIFRs Fire Appliances (including Specialists Appliances) in the vicinity of the airport. A response by NIAS and the HMCG will also be anticipated. Response vehicles may be transiting to and from the airport during these times.
“The airport will be running the exercise outside of normal operational hours. The public can be assured that emergency Fire & Rescue cover will not be affected during this time.
“We thank the public in advance of this exercise for their co-operation, with disruption to the public being kept to a minimum.”
