Airport staff in Huntington are working to stay up to date while preparing for emergencies.

Tri-State Airport held an emergency simulation on Saturday, with staff members testing their emergency response plans and services in the event of a major disaster.

Airport staff members said they wanted to make it as realistic as possible.

“We don't want it to necesssarily be a play," Caleb Pack, operations supervisor at the airport, said. "We want it to be . . . go out there and simulate what would really happen."

Volunteers played a big part in the emergency simulation by playing accident victims, to make it more realistic.
