That's a really interesting point about switching to emergency services frequency upon landing.

Other than being high up, after you're committed to the landing, does Tower provide any value. Emergency Services may be in the best position to help you with a critical decision like should you evacuate, by letting you know about fires etc.

Also couldn't you just allow emergency services to communicate on the Tower frequency at that point, rather than require a busy cockpit to switch frequencies.
