This grant funds the reconstruction of one Class V Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicle that has reached the end of its useful life and requires replacement to ensure compliance with 14 CFR Part 139 safety requirements applicable to airport operations.

The primary product delivered through this award is a replacement ARFF vehicle to be deployed at Syracuse-area airports. This infrastructure improvement supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence by providing essential emergency response equipment that meets current federal aviation safety standards.
