Narrative:
Excessive fuel consumption during flight caused suspicion of possible fuel leak. Crash fire rescue equipment requested prior to landing to perform a visual inspection of aircraft exterior. Crash fire rescue equipment did not see any leakage so we continued to ramp for normal parking without further incident. Maintenance debriefed thoroughly about fuel consumption irregularity upon gate arrival.
