Don't see any RFFS vehicles; just normal turnround stuff. Given that they appeared only to have portable extinguishers, I thought they did quite well.
Ditto. I don’t think I would be quite so brave as to rush towards a set of wheels that had been on fire for some time and attempt to put them out. Yes, there are fusible plugs but I wouldn’t want to trust my life to them. At least they went in from the side which is meant to be the safest way of doing it and used a compatible type of extinguisher...
