Question 1 - Anyone know what the capacity into an airfield is before they need a Fire Station with emergency response capabilities?

Question 2 - Will avalon have one?

Without being specific, the capacity will far outway "Jetstar's" pax loading over the year for an on field service. Avalon will continue to use the Lara CFA.
I will try to find out the exact figures re capacity v Fire Station.

I was sure that Avalon acquired a fire service about a year or two ago to get the RAAF to fly back in there.

Look at places like HTI and PPP - no on airport fire service there

Places that Jetstar (and QF 737's in case of HTI) already operate to
