- Acronym in English: RFF.
- Contexto
- To ensure ongoing reliability and peak performance of any fire vehicle or item of rescue equipment is maintained, and to ensure that rescue and firefighting (RFF) services are provided at the required levels, all RFF vehicles and rescue equipment need to have regular preventive maintenance conducted on them.
- One of the prerequisites for effective communication between the RFF service and the flight crew of the aircraft is language proficiency. Steps should be taken to ensure that the rescue and firefighting crew, in particular the officer-in-charge of the RFF operations, demonstrates knowledge of the ICAO language designated for use in air-ground communications and the ability to speak clearly so as not to adversely affect radio communication.
