Plane's engine on fire; Fire trucks foam wrong jet

[peekay4]

Imagine the criticism to be heaped upon the fire crews had they paused and watched engines to make a determination different from what they understood from the fire call, and the airplane became a pile of ash full of victims in the mean time.

Or... think about the firefighters chat groups where they might make posts about really bad landings they witness....

Cut them a little slack, as you would like them to do for you....

No slack here... as the firefighters were foaming the wrong jet -- contrary to all procedures -- another jet was actually on fire. THAT jet could have "became a pile of ash full of victims in the mean time".
