Narrative:
While assisting another aircraft which had a declared emergency, guarding him to the mth airport and arranging emergency equipment, cleared airspace, I inadvertently lost track of my fuel state. The distressed aircraft landed gear up at the mth airport north runway 25, closing that runway. Due to my uncertain fuel state, I elected to land on runway 5 (7) with over 3500 ft available. I had no other airport in certain range. The landing was uneventful.
