Does anyone know why the fire truck was driving across the runway in the first place? Was it a patrol, repositioning the truck, or was there an active incident that they were responding to? Seems like reducing the number of times you have to drive across an active runway is in general a good thing, but perhaps at an airport this old this is the only way to get from A to B.
- nemomarx 7mo agoI believe it was responding to the other active incident that the ATC was also handling where a plane failed to take off?
- fred_is_fred 7mo agoWas the 2nd plane on a runway still also?
- avemg 7mo agoit was on a taxiway. The fire truck had to cross the runway to get to it.
- fred_is_fred 7mo agoThanks for the info, I wasnt sure if the fire truck crossing the runway was normal operation.

- krisoft 7mo ago> Does anyone know why the fire truck was driving across the runway in the first place? Yes we know. There was an other airplane who declared an emergency and was about to evacuate the passengers on the tarmac. The other plane in question had two aborted takeoffs, and then they smelled some “odour” in the aft of the plane which made some of the crew feel ill.
