I always presumed that the requirement for fire cover was because there is potentially a higher risk of bending an aircraft during initial or ab-initio training. The fire crew need to be there to help pull anyone out of the wreckage.

Fire cover is obviously a requirement for licencing. But having fire cover doesn't automatically grant a facility a licence. I've got no idea why North Denes isn't licenced.
