NFPA 414 - Standard for Aircraft Rescue and Fire-Fighting Vehicles, 2007 Edition

The 2007 edition of the NFPA 414 - Standard for Aircraft Rescue and Fire-Fighting Vehicles, 2007 Edition specifies design, performance, and acceptance criteria for aircraft rescue and fire fighting (ARFF) vehicles. The information focuses on vehicles that are specifically intended to carry personnel and equipment to the scene of an aircraft emergency for the purpose of rescue and fire fighting operations.

This edition includes important changes and updates, including a new chapter that focuses on interior access vehicle requirements. Although a vehicle of this type is needed for many of the aircraft in the commercial passenger aircraft fleet, the need for a vehicle to reach the upper decks of the Boeing 747 and the new Airbus A-380 is paramount. The document also covers new requirements for lightweight boom mounted turrets, which can be used as primary turrets. Approx. 82 pp.
