What is ARFF alert level 3?

• A. Hazardous incident
• B. Ground emergency
• C. Airborne emergency
• D. Aircraft Accident

Answer: (D)

ARFF alert levels are used to trigger the right level of aircraft rescue and firefighting response based on the type of incident. At the third level, the situation is an aircraft accident, meaning a crash or serious mishap on the ground that requires a full ARFF response with fire suppression, rescue operations, medical care, and coordination with air traffic control and other emergency services. This is a different scenario from a ground emergency (issues on the surface not necessarily involving a crash), a hazardous incident (a non-aircraft hazard), or an airborne emergency (problems occurring in flight before or during return to the ground).
