The Annual Basic Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Academy is hosted by the Lubbock International Airport (LBB).  Lubbock's Academy meets the FAA‘s 40-hour requirement and is directed toward ARFF personnel who work at airports under FAR Part 139.  

Classroom training will be conducted at the City of Lubbock’s new modern Fire Training Academy.  All instructors are ARFF certified and, at a minimum, hold an Intermediate Instructors Certificate from the Texas Fire Commission.  Students will be trained in accordance with FAR Part 139.319 & AC 150/5210-17.   

Practical training will be conducted at the Lubbock International Airport’s new Live-Fire Training Facility.  It features exterior and interior aircraft mock-ups, allowing instructors to simulate any aircraft fire-fighting scenario.  Both mock-ups utilize fossil fuel, creating the most realistic training conditions possible.  Maximum emphasis will be placed on safety, and NFPA 1403 will be adhered to at all times.  Students may bring bring their own SCBA equipment and protective clothing.  However, SCBA rental will be available.

ARFF Academy attire is business casual.
