AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING FACILITY, KOSRAE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

The Kosrae Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Facility (ARFF) have been constructed to provide state of the art emergency response capabilities to the Kosrae International Airport in the Federated States of Micronesia. The Kosrae International Airport serves Continental Micronesia’s “Island Hopper” flight as well as other regional air carriers.
