Fires can be fought from considerable distance with the correct equipment, preseveration of evidence is also important.
I completely understand your point however there seemed to be a small response to this initial incident with firefighting assets arriving very late (an hour after the incident). I am sure all of this will come out in the subsequent reports and focus should be on the safe evacuation of pax.
