- Nota adicional1
- The location of the airport fire station is a primary factor in ensuring that recommended response times can be achieved; that is, two minutes and not more than three minutes to the end of each runway in optimum conditions of visibility and surface conditions. Other considerations, such as the need to deal with structural fires or to undertake other duties, are of secondary importance and must be subordinated to the primary requirement.
- Nota adicional2
- At some airports it may be necessary to consider the provision of more than one fire station, each located strategically in relation to the runway pattern. Aircraft accident studies have shown that a large proportion of accidents and incidents occur on, or close to the runway/accidents in or beyond runway end safety area locations often produce the more serious consequences in terms of fire situations and casualties.
