when the fire broke out the ground crew couldn't be bothered until the fire extinguished itself

There were a lot of things wrong with this incident. No fire extinguishers on tar mack, Aircraft evacuation took too long along with Air Port Fire Department response. It all boils down to the lack of proper training in case of emergency's!

I wouldn't be so quick to judge the fire dept. They only know to go after somebody calls them. And that can take 3-4 minutes as the message gets passed along.

Per my brother, who works there: "There's a big 'Purple-K' extinguisher cart on wheels with a long hose, at every gate and every hardstand where an aircraft could park."

I agree with your conclusion, but there's no such thing as a tar mack Tony. Some people call it a tarmac, but there's still no such thing. It's called an Apron. Air Port is one word & the plural of emergency is emergencies.

It just shows you then how much better Airbus jets are compared to Boeing's !

The response time on both the air crew evacuating the aircraft and especially the fire crew taking more than 6 minutes to show is very concerning. Not to mention that apparently the ground crew are not adequately trained to know how to handle an electrical issue like this. There should be two ends to that plug one going to the ground and the other plugging into the aircraft one of those ends should have been pulled to remove power. Not to mention where was the fire extinguisher that each parking space should have to help put out the small fire before it got out of control! This needs to be publicly addressed!!

when a plane is a gate with a jet bridge, almost every time the ground power unit on the jet bridge itself, and there is one cable. the end connected to the gpu cannot be removed like it can on the airplane. on the other end where the fire was, they could not pull it out safely. also. fire crews sometimes are on the other end of the airfield and can take a while to get to where they need to be, as the trucks can be heavy and not as fast as one would think, and they also have to coordinate with ground controllers to get to where they need to go safely without hitting planes

What an exhibition of buffoonery. The firefighters got there after the fire was out and sprayed a little water on it. 😮

It was not the plane at fault, but a piece of ground equipment that shorted out when plugged into the jet. Nothing wrong with the Airbus jet !

The fire is not nearly as much of a concern as the total incompetence of the airport personnel. SeaTac is the WORST airport I have ever been to - all over the US and four other countries.

They were returning from vacation in Cancun? Right. If something electrical is plugged in and starts a fire, then any form of "man" should naturally be thinking, "Hey, that's a fire. Because we can't get near it now, let's unplug it or disconnect the power supplied at the source! (e.g., the ground cart)" WTH???

The aircraft was already set for people to exit. They had backpacks on. You want them to take their backpacks off while trying to exit? This was the slowest fire and fire exit ever.

That’s an Airbus A321 jet - notice how the media themselves have been silent in naming it as an actual A - I - R - B - U - S plane ?? Wonder if media would be fair and consequently blame Airbus themselves HEAVILY, as much as media are on Boeing on Max issues.

Ground power unit shorted and caused a fire underneath at Delta A321 Neo and damage the ground power port and fuselage around the nose and gear assembly. It's assumed faulty airport equipment caused the fire not the aircraft itself. But an investigation will be done nonetheless. Nothing to do with the plane, just faulty ground equipment….
