zzzz,
I think you've been watching too many American disaster movies. Statistically speaking, light aircraft accidents do not always end in an inferno! Of course, some do, but in my extensive experience dealing with transport accidents generally over a 15 year period, they dont. I was actually involved in the consultation a few years ago to reduce the level of fire cover for flight training....
My point was that without the local guys on an airfield, a 20 min wait trapped upside down in an aircraft, one that may ignite, but equally might not, was an awfully long time..
I'd rather have several keen individuals with some aviation related crash & rescue training to at least attempt to rescue me than wait for the butcher and baker from the local village to turn up in their shiny fire engine..
Of course, this is strictly my own opinion and I'm sticking to it
