Description:
Poro Point Management Corporation’s (PPMC) Crash, Fire & Rescue (CFR) team conducted a fire drill and simulation for Leading Edge International Aviation Academy Inc. (LEIAAI) on March 27, 2025. The event was attended by 47 individuals, including student pilots, flight instructors, aircraft mechanics, and office staff.
In observance of Fire Prevention Month, the training focused on basic aerodrome firefighting techniques and the proper use of fire extinguishers. LEIAAI performs these drills annually as part of its safety measures. This joint effort between PPMC and LEIAAI seeks to improve emergency response capabilities while also ensuring the overall safety and preparedness of the aviation training center located at PPFZ. Together, we are committed to creating a secure environment for all PPMC’s stakeholders.
The Poro Point Freeport Zone used to house the former Wallace Air Station. The enactment of Republic Act 7227 (Bases Conversion and Development Act) on March 19, 1992 and Proclamation No. 216 on July 27, 1993 effectively transferred the stewardship of the Freeport to the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to facilitate its conversion into a productive economic growth center.
