TG8 don't have the firemen to cover the major UK bases to start with, (haven't for some years), and most current RAF airfields are now covered by a combination of DFS and RAF. Many of the (few) regular RAF firemen that are left are busy covering the more dangerous RAF airfields overseas on deployment.
I can't see the RAF being able or equipped to help in any operations in any meaningful way. Besides this is officially a MAC provision these days and as far as I know there is no MAC request in at present from the Govt, so any bulletin, or conversations with ATC and Ops are moot. At best they'll be a prep notice just in case.
