in ATC, we sometimes really wonder if it is a waste of breath telling them that there are only 2 POB, the aircraft will not be landing for another half-hour and the problem is such that it will still land at the aerodrome
So there are places with ATC but no airport fire service? And/or when you think the airport fire service is going to be busy you tell the fire brigade anyway as a backup? Or what?
You are not serious, are you? I was quoting a situation that prevailed for an aircraft accident imminent. For such a classification, as well as for a situation termed a full emergency, the local emergency services will always be in attendance to backup the AFS.
