I cant speak for what the LFB do these days, but when I was a fireman in London 10 years ago, an aircraft accident off airfield would attract a standard attendance of at least 4-6 pumping appliances, hoselayers, rescue tenders, etc etc, not counting all the various specialist vehicles such as control unit, photographer and senior officers.

How effiecient was the emergency response?
Ask the Emergency services......
They must have been told light aircraft has crashed and maybe never thought it was a jet. To my knowledge a Citation uses A1 Jet Fuel and not LPG. Considering it's surrounding's it could have been much worse.

R.I.P all whom died, deepest regards to your family.

This is the second time i have had a plane crash so close to my house, Heathrow and then Biggin.
