Stansted AFS were the first to respond however having to come from airside to landside and then get through the traffic would slow anyone down. They are trained to deal with anything from a wastepaper bin fire to a 787 and that includes bendy busses. They also deal with chemical spills and all manner of other hazards. Also have at least one paramedic on each crew. One might like to enquire what the hell a bus is made of to go up so quickly.

Fire under control at 16:40
