Roanoke Regional Airport Fire Department

== History ==
In its beginnings, the Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport relied on airport firefighting services from the Roanoke Fire-EMS Department. Fire crews from present day Roanoke Fire-EMS Station 2 would respond to the aircraft emergencies. In the 1970s, FAA mandates prompted Roanoke Fire-EMS to construct and staff a fire station on airport property. Roanoke Fire-EMS Station 10 opened in March 1974 and provided firefighting services to the airport and surrounding area of the city. In the late 2000s, the airport and city agreed to separate firefighting services. The change would allow the city and airport to build separate fire stations in locations better suited for structural and airport response, respectively. In July 2010, the airport transitioned to privatized contract firefighting services through Pro-Tec Fire Services. Construction of a new airport fire station started in 2012 and was completed in 2013. In July 2018, the contract with Pro-Tec ended and the airport transitioned to a public safety officer staffing model, consolidating its police and fire departments into one public safety department. Public safety officers are cross trained as firefighters and police officers.
