1.6.2 Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF)<br />

<strong>Capital</strong> Region <strong>Airport</strong> Authority<br />

<strong>Capital</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>Update</strong><br />

The purpose of an aircraft rescue and fire fighting (ARFF) facility is to save lives by maximizing<br />

emergency response and intervention during an airport crisis. The ARFF crew conducts fire<br />

fighting rescue operations and fire prevention services. More specifically, the ARFF provides<br />

emergency assistance; inspection of fuel farms, fuel trucks, and commercial sites; compliance with<br />

FAA standards on safety, equipment, and training; and is the medical first responder for an airport.<br />

The ARFF facility at <strong>Capital</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> is located on the north end of the airfield, adjacent to<br />

airport maintenance. The staff includes approximately 25 employees, including rescue and fire<br />

fighting personnel and operations staff. Several fire fighters are also trained as public safety<br />

officers and serve dual roles. The ARFF facility, built in 1982, is approximately 7,500 square feet<br />

and consists of sleeping facilities, a kitchen, and three rescue-truck garage bays. Access to the<br />

ARFF facility is provided for authorized personnel by electronic card access through <strong>Airport</strong> Gate<br />

10, located on the northeast corner of the airfield at the intersection of Dewitt Road and an<br />

abandoned state road. Gate 10 has security cameras and is monitored at all times.<br />

1.6.3 <strong>Airport</strong> Maintenance<br />

<strong>Capital</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> owns and operates a variety of maintenance equipment needed for snow<br />

removal, ground maintenance, pavement and facilities maintenance, and general repairs. The<br />

main storage area for maintenance equipment is located on the north side of the airfield, adjacent<br />

to the ARFF facility. Storage of the smaller size maintenance equipment is located under the<br />

passenger terminal.<br />

1.6.4 Cargo Facilities<br />

Completed in 1991, the <strong>Capital</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> air cargo facilities are located on the eastern end of the<br />

airfield. United Parcel Service (UPS) occupies 12,500 square feet of building space, which<br />

includes a sorting facility. The airfield apron dedicated to cargo is nearly 15,000 square yards.<br />

Superior Aviation is a contractor to UPS and serves as a feeder airline to smaller service areas.<br />

Landside access and parking for truck deliveries is provided on the south side of the cargo facility.<br />

A gravel overflow truck parking lot is also available during the peak season.<br />

1.6.5 <strong>Airport</strong> Fuels<br />

The <strong>Airport</strong> currently provides aviation gasoline, jet fuel, automotive gasoline, and diesel fuel.<br />

Storage consists of both above ground and underground storage tanks located in three distinct fuel<br />

farm locations identified in Exhibit 1-15. Additional information concerning the type of fuel tank,<br />

capacity, drainage, and other delivery details is provided on Table 1-16.<br />
