Over 25 different agencies from Northeast Florida will respond to a simulated aircraft disaster as in a real emergency, including firefighting and rescue equipment, emergency medical services, and law enforcement agencies.JAA said flights at the airport will not be impacted, but one of the runways will be closed and you might see temporary road closures as you drive in.
Pecan Park Road at Terrell Road will be closed from 9:45-10:45 a.m., Pecan Park Road at Dixie Clipper Drive will be closed from 9:45-10:45 a.m. and Woodwings Road will be closed from 9-10:30 a.m. Local traffic and airport employees will be allowed to pass through.
