Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting (ARFF)

• ARFF

This FAA-approved aircraft prop allows students the opportunity to learn or refresh their Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) skills.

 

Currently, this prop has all of the factors of an aircraft rescue, two engine fires, and multiple landing gear fires.

 

To improve the realism of this prop, the academy has added a simulated fuel cell rupture fire and a Class A fire that simulates a galley fire. The prop is also used for ground control and fuselage entry techniques.

 

The Fire Science Academy also has a crash fire rescue vehicle on site for use on this prop.
