Nope, I can't see the 'panic' bit in his post either.....editing is a wonderful function.

I think the bit where the aircraft stops on the runway and prepares to evacuate in the event of a fire warning is SOP isn't it ? Didn't we learn about trying to clear the runway with a fire indication at Manchester a few years ago ? We're told to 'think wind' and consider where the smoke and flames would drift in such cases and the best place to be is on that lovely bit of wide concrete where we can turn to keep the smoke away from the aircraft. I think most folk understand that and as was mentioned earlier are happy to accept it, and indeed would expect it themselves.

What was the bit about panic anyway (before the edit)?
