Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting
The ARFF courses are conducted at your facility, with your equipment, your protocols, and your mutual-aid partners. On-site training reduces travel, per diem and overtime costs associated with sending your staff out of town. We bring the mobile aircraft rescue firefighting trainer (MAFT), along with experienced instructors and operators. Our staff and equipment can flex to meet your training objectives through live-fire exercises and classroom education.
In addition to live-fire training evolutions, the MAFT can be used without active fire as the focal point of community-based disaster preparedness exercises, hostage simulations, or responding to terrorism. IEC has served numerous clients with the Mobile ARFF Trainer; including local agency ARFF personnel; Department of Defense ARFF personnel; structural firefighters; and airport operations personnel.
