This study uses qualitative methods with a descriptive approach that includes interviews, observations, documentation and literature studies. The results obtained from interviews, observations and documentation, explain that the role of VAR competence is very important to support the knowledge of ARFF KNO personnel in the process of handling vehicle accidents at kualanamu  International Airport. Therefore, an additional 5 or 10 personnel with VAR competence are needed, so that the number of personnel with these competencies becomes 20% of the total number of personnel so that they can support rescue activities in the ARFF KNO Unit.
