- W579538172 abstract "Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), located in North Texas, between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, is becoming known as an 'Airport City,' due to its growing commercial development. Because of its many tenants and growing passenger demand, DFW has recognized the need for increased public safety. This article discusses the workings of DFW’s 490-person Department of Public Safety. The department operates five stations within DFW and has the capacity to add two more, to work with natural gas exploration/production and commercial land development. The department's main responsibilities include providing services for police, fire, security access control (which is under Special Services), and maintaining a 911 dispatch center. The department's major operations are centered within the Fire Service's Fire Rescue division. Its staff of 115 includes 87 firefighters who are primarily responsible for aircraft rescue firefighting (ARFF). The article offers a detailed examination of how this division operates. Besides firefighting involving aircraft, the Fire Rescue division also responds to structural fire suppression and hazardous materials (hazmat) issues at DFW. To assist in these efforts, the division relies on state-of-the art support equipment such as an Aircraft Interior Access Vehicle (AIAV) and a Mobile Ventilation Unit (MVU). The AIAV, which is capable of expanding to a height of 19 feet, can effectively reach the lower level of the new Airbus A380. The MVU can effectively remove smoke from inside terminals and warehouses, clearing the way for firefighting crews. Also, its ventilation fan can be used to perform mass decontamination operations. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, MVU has been used to remove smoke within a 200,000 square foot shopping mall, clearing all smoke in the mall within 4.5 hours. Beyond using technologically advanced equipment, the department is also heavily involved with firefighter training and development, conducting 'real life' training through its Fire Training Facility. The facility trains firefighters both within DFW and from other regions and countries, including Latin America, New Zealand, Singapore, and Jamaica." @default.
