Re: requesting fire service support.

If an aircraft requests fuel dump, then landing will be near max weight. Irrespective of cause, there is usually going to be a serious reason for this - technical, medical, etc. So:
  1. What are the disincentives on a crew where they would decline fire service attendence beyond, I dunno, not wanting to bother them
  2. What are the disincentives on ATC in respect of "our airport, our call", telling the inbound "we'll have services on hand" for max weight landings. Would it really be a significant imposition at an airport like SIN?
