R761
NFW This Boughton Barracuda arrives at the scene within
seconds and begins to pump foam and water from its roof top monitor whilst
two fire men prepare to attack the fire with hoses. |
 |
|
As the two fire men advance towards the fuselage they
signal to the operator of the foam monitor to stop spraying. |
 |
|
The fire men lay a mix of foam and water to extinguish
the fire which appears to have started in one the aircraft's engines. |
 |
|
The fire is soon brought under control and the flames
begin to die down. |
 |
|
A fireman signals to the foam monitor operator that the
fire is now out and that he can stand down. |
 |
|
The equipment is made up and the fire crew survey the
scene of the fire that they have just extinguished. |
