Airport Rescue and Firefighting Mission Response Study

This document invites the public to comment on issues relating to a study of the mission and requirements for airport fire service. Senate Report 103-310 on the Department of Transportation Fiscal Year 1995 Appropriations Act requested that the FAA review airport fire protection required by 14 CFR part 139, Certification and Operations: Land Airports Serving Certain Air Carriers, emergency response to hazardous materials incidents, and emergency medical services (EMS) at airports. FAA was asked to examine and compare rescue and firefighting requirements at civil facilities with the fire services required by military regulation at Department of Defense (DOD) facilities and to report to Congress on these issues. Comment is invited on specific issues rather than on a draft document. This notice provides information on the issues identified and directions for commenting on issues within the study scope.
