Description:Environmental air and water quality regulations are getting more and more stringent. Changes to the regulations are making it difficult for aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) personnel to get quality firefighting training. The environmental regulations are increasing the cost of operating liquid hydrocarbon-based training facilities and forcing several training facilities to close or transition to propane. The Federal Aviation Administration William J. Hughes Technical Center’s ARFF research program conducted a comparative evaluation of one of the existing fuels for training (JP8) and two recently developed products produced specifically for firefighting training by Exxon Chemical Company and Envirofuel Incorporated. Both of the new training products showed major improvements in reducing the production of environmentally harmful by-products. Data indicate that the Exxon product produced the least amount of smoke output and contaminated water runoff.
