sixteen Companies of Los Angeles Firefighters, three LAFD Rescue Ambulances, one Rehab Unit, two Hazardous Materials Teams, two EMS Battalion Captains, one Command Post unit, four Battalion Chief Officer Command Teams, one Division Chief Officer Command Team, Deputy Chief Mario Rueda, and a variety of additional support staff under the direction of Assistant Chief Donald Austin responded to a Aircraft Fire.

Wow, that's a lot of people! I would have thought someone was exaggerating to make a joke.

Must have been a slow day.

I don't think it's overkill. The aircraft had 10,000 gallons of jet fuel on board, was leaking, and on fire. I'd say they did a pretty good job to keep the whole thing contained.

they were all bored and had nothing else to do

It's hard to respond to a statement that dumb.

When an aircraft is on fire on the airport, what kind of moron would not put a 100% effort into extinguishing the fire, and prepositioning equipment if there was an explosion and the fire spread. The fire department probably did not know how much fuel was on the airplane (not that it would have made much difference in the response). All they know is they have a fire and they're going to put it out before it gets worse, smoke gets into passenger areas causing casualties, etc, etc, etc. My advice is to stop commenting on things you know nothing about and leave the flying and the ground emergencies to the professionals.

I also noticed that the fuel farm is located not too far away. Now that could make for one hell of a big fire.
