Proposed amendments to Part 139H MOS – Aerodrome Rescue and Fire Fighting Services - (CD 2501AS)

Fire fighting vehicles must be predominantly a single conspicuous colour.

Policy Aim

To remove the prescriptive requirement for fire vehicles to be ‘signal red’ and align with Annex 14 to the Chicago convention - Volume I - aerodrome design and operations. This also allows for fire vehicles to have contrasting stripes which are currently in use overseas for airport fire services.

Question: Do you agree with removing the requirement for fire trucks to be signal red only and for them to predominantly be a single conspicuous colour?
