Emergency services at EDDF 240310

[loewy]

Hi all,

Was SLF yesterday departing from FRA around 1745Z when I noticed significant emergency services activity. At least 12 fire engines partly deployed at the threshold of 07R, partly on the main apron (looked like these were following an LH A340).

Anyone know if this was something serious or a non-event ?

Good landings to all,

There are numerous types of situations where the crew will ask for emergency services to be in attendance purely as a precaution. That way, in a worse case scenario (which is seldom the case) immediate assistance would be at hand.
