Tks Bigears - yeh, dismissed those. Looking at it from the point of having emergency services on airport to save pax.

As I'm sure you know, they are tasked with being at the "runway in use" within three minutes of the first call to lay down a path to safety "from the fire" so that you can escape by yourself - except as the aircraft are generally certified to self evacuate within 90 seconds, in truth, they're late for what they are legally required to do !! Off airport they're usually way too late.

Only recently have some airport emer services been trained and allowed to enter an aircraft on fire and rescue pax
