Port Polska secures building permit for airport rescue and firefightings stations
Port Polska has secured building permits for two Airport Rescue and Firefighting Service (ARFF) stations that will serve Poland’s new central airport. The new facilities will play a vital role in ensuring the safety of the airport and will enable even faster emergency response times once the airport opens in 2032.
Key facts
- Port Polska has secured building permits for two Airport Rescue and Firefighting Service stations.
- One station will be located adjacent to the northern runway and the other beside the southern runway.
- Both facilities have been designed to allow firefighters to respond in the shortest possible time following the activation of an emergency alarm.
- The projects include not only the station buildings but also all associated technical infrastructure and site development works.
- The permits allow the project to move into the next phase of delivery.
- Main Airport Rescue and Firefighting Service station at the new national airport.
Two fire stations to safeguard the airport
The Mazovian Voivode has issued building permits for two Airport Rescue and Firefighting Service stations that will be constructed as part of the Port Polska programme. The facilities will ensure the safety of the future airport and enable efficient rescue and firefighting operations across the entire airport site.
Main station to protect the northern runway
The main fire station will be built in the village of Skrzelew, within the Teresin municipality. From this location, rescue and firefighting teams will provide operational cover for the northern runway and its associated airside movement areas. The facility will also be responsible for restoring operational readiness following incidents and providing support to the satellite station when required.
The building will comprise two storeys and provide almost 5,300 m² of gross internal floor area.
Satellite station to protect the southern runway
The second station will be built within the Wiskitki municipality, in the villages of Duninopol and Podbuszyce. It will provide operational cover for the southern runway and enable rescue operations to begin immediately while awaiting reinforcement from the main station. Like the main facility, the satellite station will have two storeys and a gross internal floor area of more than 2,100 m².
Every second counts
Both stations will be staffed by Airport Rescue and Firefighting Service personnel responsible for responding to aircraft accidents and other aviation emergencies. The facilities have been designed to enable specialist rescue vehicles, fully crewed by firefighters, to leave the station in the shortest possible time after an alarm is raised. Rapid response is one of the key requirements for ensuring safe airport operations.
Comprehensive infrastructure
The investment covers not only the construction of the fire stations themselves but also all necessary technical infrastructure, internal and external utility installations, associated engineering works and landscaping. As a result, both facilities will be fully operational and equipped from the moment they enter service.
Project moves into the next phase
The building permits were issued following completion of the administrative process, including the assessment of the design documentation, statutory consultations and approvals, and verification of compliance with construction regulations and environmental protection requirements.
The design documentation was prepared by a consortium led by AKE Studio, comprising ATP Krakow and APA Czech Duliński Wróbel Agencja Projektowa “Architektura”.
