Narrative:
On arrival to runway 15 bur (burbank) we requested runway 15 due to longer runway length and other possible runway had a slight tailwind. During approach and approaching scret we received a GPWS 'terrain terrain; pull up'. We complied and performed the escape maneuver. We advised ATC. We then requested and landed on runway 08. This was both the captain's and first officer's first time into this airport.
