Our Aviation Rescue & Fire Fighting Stations

We employ over 500 staff to provide a Rescue and Fire Fighting service at 20 airport locations around Australia.

The size and frequency of aircraft operating at an airport determines the requirements for an ARFF service, the specialised vehicles and equipment needed and the number of staff required to support ARFF activities. At present Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth are the largest ARFF stations with the remaining locations at reduced levels. The scheduling and frequency of airline operations determines the hours of operation of each ARFF location.
