Thanks for that

I think all aircraft fires should be treated equal ie as if she is burning nose to tail. If the Ethiopian had been left to burn an awful lot of nasty/cancerous material would have been released in a residential area. Not nice. Also we may never have been able to find out what caused it in the first place.

The fire crews were correct to close the airport IMO with the resources they had. There may be an argument now to give them more resources so as to keep at least 1 runway open during 2 fire incidents
