Seems some on here think the response by the airport fire service was overkill, not by any means, internal fires can quickly spread so rapid intervention is essential, add to that composites involved in fire, not good for anyone that inhales the released fibres.


@aeromech3

Good point about a/c knowledge but ask an engineer to allow the fire service to practice using their ladders to open doors/hatches and the answer is usually no
