Report
Summary
This contract provides training and certification to Phoenix Fire Department (PFD) firefighters for service at Aviation Department facilities, including Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The airport has Aircraft Rescue Firefighting capabilities with an extensive apparatus and personnel to provide fire and medical response to an aircraft emergency. In order to maintain these capabilities, PFD firefighters stationed at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport must train in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration standards. These standards mandate that PFD firefighters train with live burn exercises annually. For the first two years and final two years of the five-year agreement, a mobile prop may be utilized for the training. During the third year, a more extensive training requires use of a staged, full-scale, simultaneously burning aircraft. This contract serves only for the mobile prop exercises.
