Public Safety at Massport

Security is our highest priority.

Report an emergency at 617-568-7300 or 911.

Massport Fire Rescue, the Office of Corporate Security and Emergency Preparedness, and Massachusetts State Police Troop F work in seamless partnership to keep you safe.

Massport Fire Rescue

Fire Rescue headquarters and our satellite station are both located on the Boston Logan airfield for immediate response to any aircraft emergency within the three-minute mandated response time. Our emergency expertise includes aircraft rescue and firefighting, structural fire protection, hazardous materials response (hazmat), and emergency medical assistance on land as well as off-shore emergencies in and around Boston Harbor with the Marine division, which includes the American United fireboat.

We stay prepared for emergencies as well, maintaining lifesaving automated external defibrillators throughout the airport and conducting periodic drills, inspections, and training in CPR and first aid for airport employees. We also organize informative outreach programs—including fire safety education for schoolchildren—in neighboring communities.

Fire departments from all over the United States and Canada come to our state-of-the-art fire training facility. We’re proud to be part of the Massachusetts Metro Fire District and the mutual aid response system for our neighboring communities.
