One of the services that few people think of when they think about the airport ... is the aircraft rescue and fire fighting unit (ARFF). Comprising one chief, three captains, and 12 firefighters, the unit is divided into three crews – each working 24-hour shifts. The aircraft rescue and fire fighting unit does far more than respond to fire calls. In fact, fire calls make up a very small portion of their regular workload. 1, record 2, English, - aircraft%20rescue%20and%20fire%20fighting%20unit
