Dublin airport has full Cat 9 fire service. Fire engines number minimum 7
http://myaviation.net/?pid=00547054

Dublin fire service is only called in in support of the airport fire service and in the event of a prolonged incident they are there to provide fire cover for the airport in the event that there is another incident and also to release the AFS so that the airport can resume limited services again.

"I presume they have more than 2 tenders at Dublin Airport Fire station! If so why are the local fire brigade involved.

Is there a chance that they only have enough fire staff for 2 tenders at that time?? Surely not!

Maybe 2 tenders actually attended the fire and more were available if needed from the airport fire station! And the local fire engines were only an extra precaution."

A tiny bit of research and you would never have had to make that post.
