A video appears to show passengers 400 meters from the plane and passing beside a plane parked near hangers, but yet they are passed by a convoy of yellow liveried fire appliances racing toward the plane.
This would be over 6 minutes after the 777 came to a full stop.
Also in this video there is a red fire truck stopped on the apron facing away from from the plane and near the walking passengers, perhaps returning for more water?
How far away is the most distant fire station from the incident?

The onboard video taken by a passenger shows a brief glimpse of two red liveried fire trucks positioned beside the plane.
Presumably one station has red trucks and another has yellow?
Sad to hear that a firefighter lost his life in the callout.

The fire trucks in the city's stations are all yellow. The aerodrome firetrucks are all red. I'm guessing that due to the gravity of the situation the city's yellow firetrucks for called for additional support.
