Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Vehicles
Rapid Intervention: Engineered for Aviation Safety and Rescue
ABO-DEMAN
Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Vehicles
ABO DEMAN provides advanced Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Vehicles, which are specifically designed to meet the stringent operational requirements of modern airports, adhering to international standards set by bodies such as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency).
The presence of adequate ARFF equipment is mandatory at all airports with scheduled flights. Especially in countries like Greece, where the increased volume of tourism significantly impacts many regional airports, response speed and strong firefighting readiness are critical safety parameters.
The ARFF solutions we offer ensure an absolutely effective response to aviation emergencies, guaranteeing fast and decisive intervention in incidents such as aircraft fires or runway incidents, where every second counts for the survival of passengers and crew.
These vehicles, typically based on a Commercial Chassis, combine high acceleration and flexibility with large-capacity tanks for water and foam. This ensures the immediate suppression of fire around the aircraft, thereby maintaining a clear evacuation path for passengers.

Key Features and Specifications
Our ARFF (Airport Rescue and Firefighting) vehicles are built with durability and performance in mind, ensuring longevity and reliability in demanding aviation environments.
Bodywork: Strength and Durability
Structure
Stainless steel structure for maximum corrosion resistance and rigidity.
Panelling
Lightweight Aluminum panelling for weight optimization.
Access
Safe and functional Aluminum roller shutters for equipment protection.
Advanced Firefighting Systems
The vehicles are equipped with multiple extinguishing agents to tackle different types of fires (e.g., fuel, electrical):
High-Capacity Pumps
Pumps providing high flow rates of up to 10,000 lpm @ 10 bar (Liters Per Minute), ensuring a substantial volume of water and foam delivery.
Foam System
A certified NFPA 1901 automatic ATP foam system (proportioning mixing) for the accurate and rapid production of AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam).
Remote-Controlled Roof Monitor
For long-distance, targeted suppression from inside the cabin (drive-to-fire capability).
Bumper Monitor
For immediate attack upon approach.
DCP System (Dry Chemical Powder)
For combating Class B and C fires (e.g., fuel).
High-Pressure Hose Reel
(30-60m): For crew use.
Safety, Technology, and Ease of Handling
The ergonomic design of the cabins combined with advanced electrical systems ensures crew protection and facilitates handling, even in high-pressure and high-heat environments.
Safety and Control Systems
Self-Protection: Cabin and wheel self-protection system
for the thermal shielding of the crew from the intense radiant heat generated by burning fuels.
Vehicle Management
Automotive certified programmable controllers for monitoring and managing all vehicle functions.
Interface: Multifunctional touch screens / Control panels
for centralized, intuitive control of all suppression systems.
Visibility: Traffic & Warning signalling
(lights/sirens) and powerful Working Lights (interior & exterior) for operations at night or in smoky conditions.
