One of the support facilities vital to operating and maintaining the Deadhorse Airport is a combined Airport Rescue and Fire-fighting Facility/Snow Removal Equipment Building/Flight Service Station shared by the State and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The reason for this combined facility, designed by PDC and constructed in 2000, was to allow State and Federal agencies to share the high costs of construction and maintenance of support facilities in the Arctic. The 19,000 sf ARFF/SREB/FSS facility includes:
- Multiple vehicle bays for emergency response vehicles at the airport, and for maintenance operations.
- Office/training area, restroom/locker area, living/sleeping area, and storage areas.
- Control room for flight operations, electronics room for testing and storage, and weather balloon station.
- Living quarters consisting of individual sleeping rooms with private restrooms, and a large kitchen/lounge area for group activities.
