Bridging the Gap: Leading ARFF Excellence in Low-Frequency, High-Risk Operations
Panelists: Larry Lippel
Aircraft incidents don’t respect airport boundaries—and readiness can’t either. This session explores how leadership, daily discipline, and shared expectations shape outcomes in low-frequency, high-risk aviation events. Designed for ARFF professionals and mutual aid departments, the lecture connects operational excellence, off-airport response realities, and 365-day readiness using real-world case studies and leadership lessons. Attendees will gain practical insights into preventing drift, strengthening partnerships, and preparing responders—on and off the airport—for the day when margins are thin and decisions matter most.
