Any idea what going on with the PA31 and emergency services on the runway? NOTAM issued closing the airport to all op's.

Gear failed to extend. Flew around for about 40mins waiting for emergency vehicles before a low pass confirmed the gear was up. A few sparks on landing but otherwise a good outcome.
