A specialized fire truck at the airport

The scene shows a large airport fire truck positioned next to an airport taxiway. Its high body, heavy wheels, and roof-mounted water cannon distinguish it from many municipal fire engines. This type of rescue vehicle is designed to travel across airport grounds and bring firefighting equipment close to an aircraft emergency.

Facts about airport firefighting vehicles

Airport rescue and firefighting trucks often carry water and firefighting foam so crews can respond without first connecting to a hydrant. Their roof cannons can direct an extinguishing stream from a distance, helping firefighters begin work while the vehicle approaches a hazardous area. Airport crews also train specifically for emergencies involving aircraft and aviation fuel.
