TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Issue a mandatory briefing item to tower controllers that describes the circumstances of this accident, including the interactions between the controller and Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) crews. This briefing item should emphasize that location information provided to ARFF crews should be as complete and specific as possible to minimize opportunities for confusion.
