Our principal objective at Moshoeshoe 1 International Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Services is to save lives in the event of an aircraft accident or incident. This objective assumes the possibility of, and need for, extinguishing a fire that may occur immediately following an aircraft accident or incident, or at any time during rescue operations, including the suppression of cabin fires and rescue of aircraft occupants.

We provide category 6 level of fire cover, and cover an area of five (5) kilometers from the airport perimeter fence.

The service has the following appliances:
- 1 x Walter Foam Tender carrying 4 500 litres of water, 350 litres of foam and 225 kg DCP.
- 1 x Land Rover Defender serving as RIV
- 1 x Oshkosh T I – 3000 is the latest addition to the fleet.
