They had to fight two fires at the same time. One from a most likely full fuel Dash-8 on the runway and one from the A350 with my estimate a least 1 hour worth of fuel. We might see in the next days what (little) is left from the Dash-8. Regardless two plane on one runway is one too many. Will be interesting who screwed up here, as there are several holes in the cheese needed for this outcome. At least at some point the tower must have seen that there is a problem. Visibility was not bad, so even the A350 should have seen some lights from the Dash.
If you have none person missing in the A350 and 5 missing in the Dash it is clear where the priorities for firefighting and rescue operations are.
