Fire Safety & Rescue

Aviation fire and rescue covers ARFF crash tenders rated to ICAO CAT-9 / CAT-10, rapid intervention vehicles, high-reach extendable turrets, fluorine-free foam and discharge systems, hangar deluge, terminal sprinkler and smoke-management, and the PPE, breathing apparatus and training rigs used by airport fire teams. Airports must maintain a declared rescue and firefighting category that matches their largest routine aircraft — which for A380 and 777X operations means CAT-10. Procurement is driven by civil aviation authorities and airport ops, with strict response-time and agent-discharge compliance.
