Depending on the airport category, the standards determine the minimum number of rescue fire-fighting vehicles. In addition, requirements are given on the water and foam capacities, discharge rates for foam solutions, and minimum dry chemical powder (complementary agent) amounts, reserve stocks of fire fighting agents, ability to operate on rough terrain, and acceleration of the air crash tenders. The end of each runway has to be achieved in a response time of two minutes, and any part of the movement area has to be achieved in a response time not exceeding three minutes.

Quarter-end backlog remained strong at $419 million, although it declined from the prior year quarter due to deliveries against large parking system contracts and increased production throughput in Fire Rescue. In Environmental Products, backlog rose as a result of increased orders for sewer cleaners, vacuum trucks and refuse truck bodies.
