Totally off topic.

Totally off topic and I know it but....

All I saw were pictures and video from the "media" without a time line but.

The amount of ambulances scrambled to the incident was amazing, the emergency services really responded!

As to the helicopters dumping water/retardent on the grass fire... Did they practice that or was that some really good situational awareness by the authorities?

I know the discussion on here will be aircraft related, but from what I saw the emergency services at Madrid were text book!
