Design your fire apparatus to accomplish its mission and provide a safe operating environment for fire fighters!

NFPA 1901 defines the requirements for new automotive fire apparatus designed to be used under emergency conditions to transport personnel and equipment, and to support the suppression of fires and mitigation of other hazardous situations. This important standard covers everything from pumpers to aerial fire apparatus to special service apparatus, such as rescue vehicles and haz-mat vehicles, as well as quints and mobile foam apparatus.

  • New requirements that third parties and manufacturers must meet when certifying test results.
  • Modified requirements for head height at seating positions and for storage of SCBAs in seatbacks
  • Modified requirements for line voltage power sources to ensure that the requirements stated on the power source specification label can be met on a continuous basis
  • New requirements for receivers and anchors for rope and removable winches
  • More specific rating points for auxiliary pumps
  • Modified rung spacing on aerial ladders
  • A new chapter on industrial supply pumps
