The fire was entirely in the engine. CFR equipment in ATL and most larger airports has the ability to see all hotspots and know exactly where a fire is originating from. (Thermal imaging) It’s a especially useful bit of gear if you are landing with a cargo fire indication. They can quickly tell you if it is real or false.
You always as a widebody CA have to consider that if you put passengers into the slides there will be injured passengers and there is a possibility a passenger or two could be killed.
Delta had a relatively orderly evacuation of a 330 in Lagos after a incorrect report from CFR at the airport that resulted in serious injuries to several passengers.
