Qual é o requisito para equipamentos de combate a incêndio a bordo de um voo de passageiros?

Qual é o requisito legal em relação a equipamentos de combate a incêndio em um voo de passageiro, por exemplo, extintores e capas de fogo? Imagino que o número seja proporcional à capacidade máxima do avião.

Eu prefiro ICAO desde que se aplica internacionalmente, mas se não houver nenhuma, uma referência FAA seria uma boa também.
