Not exactly lightning reflexes from the fire crews!
I did a nine count from the time the aircraft came to a stop before the first bit of foam began to show up in the video meaning it started before that as they approached the aircraft.

At no point did the fire approach the cockpit due to the effects of wind and fire suppression efforts. Picture perfect effort in my view!

Anyone that thinks that is deficient is simply being a Dumbass!
