The purpose of this report is to provide the basic information about the costs and benefits of the crash/fire/rescue (CFR) services provided by airports that is relevant to evaluating those services. The cost of CFR is divided into the outlay for manpower, vehicles, buildings, and equipment. Information on these four categories was gathered for each of 578 airports with CFR. The estimated current system-wide cost is $115.321 million per year. The benefits provided by CFR are divided into preventing deaths, preventing injuries, saving hulls, providing psychological benefits, and providing non-crash benefits. In estimating benefits, the role of CFR in 628 air carrier accidents from 1966 to 1978 was scrutinized. The estimated average annual benefit is $49.202 million. Thus, the system-wide benefit/cost ratio is 0.43. Methodologies for projecting both costs and benefits over the next fifteen years are proposed. The report is in two volumes, one for text and one for appendixes.
