While not required of general aviation airports, the Greeley-Weld County Airport voluntarily provides Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) services to enhance the safety and operational capabilities of the airport. ARFF services are provided on a limited basis, and upon specific request by any aircraft operator.
The airport ARFF station is located immediately adjacent to the terminal building, and houses two (2) rapid intervention aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicles. Each vehicle, described further below, meets the FAA's ARFF Index A standards on its own.
Certain employees of the Greeley-Weld County Airport Authority are cross trained and fully certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as aircraft rescue firefighters. Additionally, the Greeley-Weld County Airport has an on-going relationship with the City of Greeley Fire Department for mutual aid and other support. A number of Greeley firefighters are also fully FAA certified aircraft rescue firefighters, train annually with the airport's firefighters, and are also cross trained to operate the airport's ARFF apparatus.
