The area where the 1974 6-bay airport main fire station used to stand now only a clear land
New airport fire station completed and operational on 2008Providing fire cover for the aircraft and the airport building and facilities itself is a challenging task for firefighters especially the Brunei Civil Aviation Fire Department (Bomba Airport). The department start to privide its fire cover with their first appliance which is the Thornycroft crash tender in 1960s. Later in 1970s as the new Brunei International Airport completes, the fire department operates from their new base which can house 6 appliance at a time.
As time goes by the department decicded to move and build a new station which completed in 2008. This new station is built larger and the appliance bay can accommodate up to 10 to 12 appliances at a time. When large scale incident airport occurs at the airport the appliances bay can be converted into Mass Casualty Triage.
While the main station deal with nearly all fire and rescue operation around the airport premises, the 2nd airport fire station which located near the aircraft hangar provides fire strike fire rescue in case fire occurs at the hangar. If situation become uncontrolled the 2nd station will contact the main base for support.
