NFPA 414 Standard for Aircraft Rescue and Fire-Fighting Vehicles 2007 Edition
Copyright 2006 National Fire Protection Association. All Rights Reserved.
This edition of NFPA 414, Standard for Aircraft Rescue and Fire-Fighting Vehicles, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting, and acted on by NFPA at its June Association Technical Meeting held June 4 8, 2006, in Orlando, FL. It was issued by the Standards Council on July 28, 2006, with an effective date of August 17, 2006, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 414 was approved as an American National Standard on August 17, 2006.

Origin and Development of NFPA 414

In 1960, a tentative edition of this standard was adopted by the Association. The original document was further revised in 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1975, and 1978. In 1984, the standard was revised completely to identify three types of vehicles and to make the document easier to use. The text also was rewritten to conform with the NFPA Manual of Style. The standard was revised again in 1990, and a chapter was added to provide a test method to verify the design requirements. Notable revisions to the 1995 edition included the removal of requirements for a separate category of rapid intervention vehicle. The major change for the 2001 edition was the combination of major fire-fighting vehicles and combined agent vehicles. Additionally, a table provided many requirements concisely that were previously covered by numerous paragraphs. The 2007 revision includes minor changes to the document plus the addition of a new chapter on interior access vehicles.
