About[]
The 174th Attack Wing is a unit of the New York State Air National Guard located at Hancock Air National Guard Base. The Base is co-located with Syracuse Hancock International Airport.
History[]
the fire department had provided services solely to Hancock Air National Guard Base, with fire and medical support for the civilian parts of the airport provided by the Syracuse Fire Department.
When the 174th FW changed its mission from flying F-16 fighter aircraft to unmanned MQ-9 Reapers, there was no longer a need for a crash rescue department. However, a new Department of Defense instruction and inspection determined that the local fire department didn’t comply with the DoD standard for fire emergency responses of seven minutes. As a result, it was determined that the wing required a full-time fire department. [1]
Along with the stand up of a full-time department, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the New York Air National Guard and the Syracuse Hancock Airport Authority for the provision of services by the 174th FW Fire Department to Syracuse Hancock International Airport. Beginning July 1, 2022, the ANG took over all responsibility for ARFF protection at the airport. [2] The fire department is now a Federal Fire Department with 24-hour operations and full-time civilian firefighters. The 174th Attack Wing also has military firefighters who drill on the weekend. This makes Syracuse Hancock the 38th airport in the US to be serviced by an Air National Guard Fire Department.
