Hyannis Airport - arff is provided by Ops Staff

Airport Administration/Operations Offices

There are no self-standing Airport administrative offices at the
Airport. These offices are in the passenger terminal building.
Operations staff also provide ARFF service; therefore, operations and
ARFF are staffed in a shared building. Currently, space is shared
between ARFF/operations and the public. The Airport's ultimate plan is
to separate ARFF/operations from space utilized by the public.

Recommendation for Airport Administration/Operations Offices: Create
a separation between ARFF/operations and the public.

lots of info in this document - and there are other parts of the 2022
Airport Master Plan that have more ARFF information

=====================

On average, the Airport received approximately 9,900 gallons of Jet A
fuel every two to three days during the peak month. In 2019, the
average threeday Jet A fuel consumption was 8,300 gallons and 20,800
gallons per three-day period during peak month. The Airport has an
average of almost a month supply during average months and over a week
supply of Jet A fuel during peak month as shown in Table 5-38.

As discussed in Chapter 2, Inventory, of this Master Plan, the ARFF
station at the Airport is a multiuse ARFF/maintenance/SRE facility and
operates as an Index A under FAR Part 139. However, during JetBlue
operations, the Airport operates as an Index B. The ARFF station is
located on the East Ramp with access to Taxiway B. The station
vehicles are shown in Table 5-39. Vehicle 816 was replaced in 2020.
The ARFF space of the facility occupies approximately 3,000 SF of the
total 15,000 SF building. Overall, the building was in poor condition
and in need of a roof replacement at the assessment. Repairs were
completed in 2020. The leaks from the roof have left indoor spaces
unusable and Cape Cod Gateway Airport Airport Master Plan Facility
Requirements 5-69 damaged from water. The environmental filtering
system within the building is also broken and unable to be repaired
due to the old age of the system.
