If your aircraft is on fire, you need to land immediately. Availability of
fire / crash rescue resources is not an issue. Getting off the aircraft as
quickly as possible is the issue. Just look at what happened with the
Swissair flight over the atlantic, who took their sweet time while the were
researching where the smoke was coming from.

MB made the point that had the aircraft been on fire that the pilot
probably wouldn't have bypassed the other two airports.


Did he? Perhaps you assume too much. Maybe he'd prefer the field with
appropriate crash/fire/rescue capability. I think that'd be DFW.
