If there isn’t already, there needs to be a fire station on both sides of the runways at LaGuardia so the FD doesn’t have to cross either/both runways to get where they need to go.

With crossing runways, like LGA, that is impractical.

It was my understanding that all major airports have vehicle roadways to keep non-aircraft traffic off of the tarmac/taxiways (except in emergencies).

This is as bad as the Blackhawk incident at Reagan DCA.

Never should have happened.

The truck requested clearance (twice) and got it.
