I believe this to be an important part of the 139-certification program, you never know what emergency could take place that requires you to do a rescue or put out fires especially with airplanes. The aircraft rescue and firefighting: Operational requirements read: “Rescue and firefighting capability. Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, each certificate holder must provide on the airport, during air carrier operations at the airport, at least the rescue and firefighting capability specified for the Index required by §139.317 in a manner authorized by the Administrator. (Electronic Code of Federal Regulations Website, 2020)” Furthermore, after doing research I saw that most airplane fire have a combination of things that sparked it to get that serious. Those fires mostly known as multiple-cause processes. Outside of multiple cause processes, fires within airplanes are typically confine to the combustion chambers of engines. Nevertheless, with a ready to go crew and thanks to the 139-certification program that governs that crew most airports are able to assist in case of emergency. Additionally, aircraft rescues are highly needed as they allow commerical aircraft to carry many hundreds of passengers and crewmembers. State regulation governs the time from the response to initial notification and under good conditions its three to four minutes as very second is vital. Therefore, fire and rescue this sector is important in the certification program. Reference: (2020, July 28).
