Narrative:
Kind of surprised when no one from flight service met our flight. Sat at the gate for 1.5 hours. The fire truck that the captain called never showed up. Since no one showed up, I never filled out a flight attendant report. Didn't have to say evacuate/evacuation commands, but, we did evacuate/evacuation at the gate.
