By way, thanks for telling the entire non-flying terrorist community what '7500' means.
Any other security codes you wish to share globally?
None of the points below prove absence of fire before landing; however, in conjunction they give a high probability of that absence.
1. No fire on board reported by crew (COMs seem to have been intermittent, not dead).
2. Timing and character of fire is consistent with a likely scenario of a landing with that much fuel.
3. PAX video made during/shortly after landing suggests no smoke in cockpit prior to conflagration on the outside.
As to the codes - they are, and have been for a long time, so readily and widely available that no one would bother with looking for them on a message board.
