Narrative:
About 30 minutes before landing; the captain called me and told me they had an emergency in the cockpit. He said they noticed they were low on hydraulic fluid a little earlier so they were monitoring it but that it kept getting lower. He said we were going to continue on and that he would call me back in a little bit. About 12-15 minutes before landing he called back and said that it was still getting lower; he wasn't anticipating an evacuation but we were going to have fire trucks and paramedics meeting the aircraft and that we would be towed to the gate because they weren't going to have front nose steering. He said to expect some louder noises and maybe more alarms going off in the cockpit. We landed safely and were met by paramedics and towed to the gate.
