If this turns out to be correct then this could have very large implications for this incident.
If it turns out the ARFF response was
abnormally fast, then serendipity played a large part in this outcome, and any "lessons learned" should be viewed through that prism.
It cannot not be assumed that ARFF will be close by as the brakes are parked and the they will "have your back". It could have been a very different outcome if the the ARFF had to go from a standing start in their shed.
We have to wait for the report, but this event could well turn out to be the exception rather than the rule when all the facts are known.
