The news channel said that the fire truck was manned by police officers, citing sources. It had earlier said ⁠a sergeant and an officer had broken limbs and were in stable condition at a hospital.

Typical, idiot pigs driving on an active runway

Why is police driving a fire truck anyway? (And that's without even asking what the fuck they were doing on a runway)

They were responding to a call.

Read the articles, air traffic controller fucked up and told them the runway was clear, they were responding to report of fire on another plane.
