Narrative:

Captain informed #1 that a tire was replaced in ZZZZ and how the indicator light was showing no air in the tire. He thought that a wire had forgotten to be put back on after fixing the mechanical. We were told that crash fire rescue equipment would be there to meet us. The captain told the passenger about 10 mins later as not to alarm them if they saw the crash fire rescue equipment trucks as we landed. The captain was wonderful explaining it to them and told them we had 12 tires and 1 lost wouldn't be bad. We landed without incident.
