    JFK International Air Terminal (JFKIAT) recognized Operation Supervisors Sabrina Noomen and Lucy Ramirez for going above and beyond to protect the airport community. While Sabrina and Lucy were conducting their routine walkthrough, they noticed smoke from debris stuck in a ceiling light in one of the terminal’s elevators. Because of their attention to detail and proactive attitude, these diligent employees prevented a possible building fire.
