A new $130 million East Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Station was unveiled at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on May 11.
The station is part of the DFW Forward capital improvement plan, a $12 billion project that will update many portions of the airport that opened 51 years ago, according to the airport website.
The East facility, commonly referred to as ARFF, is the first part of combining four stations into two.
A closer look: J.E. Dunn Construction and PGAL are behind the design-build partnership for the ARFF projects.
The new East Station has 10 apparatus bays, 21 dorm rooms, a dedicated training and fitness space, a support area for hazardous material, decontamination and equipment storage, and includes an F5-rated storm shelter, according to a news release.
Also of note: During the May 7 DFW Airport board of directors meeting, three ARFF contracts were awarded.
Oncor is providing and installing the necessary electric service infrastructure for both of the new ARFF stations for $1.27 million.
In addition, three new vehicles were approved for purchase.
