The Fire Trucks Came Running!

Had some excitement yesterday. An Alaska Airlines flight landed and was told by another aircraft that they had a smoking brake.

The Airport Fire Dept. swung into action and escorted the flight to the gate where mechanics inspected the brake in question. Turns out that a small hydraulic leak and made its way to the brake and caused the smoke. The line was repaired, the brake cleaned up and everything was fine.

Got to admire the speed in which the Airport Fire dept can respond. Those guys are fast!
