Abstract: The distribution of airport fire stations is generally ignored in the airport planning, resulting in a waste of resources and reducing the efficiency of emergency rescue. In view of the above problems, this study focuses on the study of the distributions of fire stations for single runway, parallel runway, cross runway and V-shaped runway on the basis of resources saving, responsibility area full coverage and overlapping area reducing. It is found that only one fire station set is capable of protecting single runway, parallel runway and cross runway under some circumstance. However, it is difficult for V-shape runway to be protected with a fire station, and V-Shape runway should be considered as two independent runways. The configuration method can provide a theoretical support for the distributions of airport fire stations.

Key words: fire protection, air transportation, fire station configuration, airport fire station
