About Us

Dear Passengers, Employees, and Community Members, 

As the Fire Chief of Sarasota Bradenton Internation Airport (SRQ), I want to take a moment to address the importance of safety and preparedness within our airport community. Our team is committed to ensuring that SRQ remains one of the safest airports in the world. Airports are dynamic environments where safety is our top priority. Our dedicated firefighters and emergency responders undergo rigorous training to handle a wide range of incidents, from aircraft emergencies to fire prevention and hazardous materials response. We are always prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to any situation. I want to remind everyone that safety is a shared responsibility. Whether you are traveling, working, or visiting the airport, please be aware of your surroundings and follow all safety protocols. This includes paying attention to airport announcements, knowing the locations of emergency exits, and reporting any suspicious activity to airport personnel immediately. For our airport employees, I encourage you to stay current with your safety training and maintain a high level of vigilance in your daily operations. Your role is crucial in maintaining the security and safety of our passengers and the airport as a whole. To our passengers, I assure you that we are committed to your safety at every step of your journey. From the moment you arrive at the airport to the time you board your flight; our team is here to protect and serve you. 

Thank you for your cooperation and support. Together, we can ensure that SRQ remains a safe and secure environment for everyone.
