Where was the airport's fire service?

Can I believe what I am reading about the fire service taking some time to reach the aircraft? The report above from the Irish Independent is not entirely clear on this:
"Support was provided by the Dublin fire brigade, with two units and a senior officer involved in the emergency response.
"An additional six units of the fire brigade were on standby along with six health board ambulances. The units came from the Kilbarrack, Finglas and Phibsboro fire stations." [neighbouring suburbs]

So, were fire tenders from the regular city fire brigade there in addition to the airport's fire service, or instead of it?
I'd like to know to how worried I should be...
