ARFF international training standards: one goal, several agencies

The majority of the world's airports are represented by five regulatory authorities: the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), The Air Accident Investigation Branch (as part of the United Kingdom's department of transportation, as well as its Civil Aviation Authority, and Transport Canada. Two international Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) publications have become the global standard, as follows: the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)'s 1003 Standard for Airport Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications, as well as NFPA 402, 403, 405, 412, 414, 415 and 424, which can all be referenced for airport use; and the International Fire Service Training Association (IFSTA) training manuals, written by fire fighters for fire fighters.
