Qantas had or proposed a number of changes as a result of the incident, including making it mandatory for an aircraft engineer or aviation firefighter to inspect the relevant aircraft compartment or area where a fire had occurred.
After a fire warning on an aircraft, one would suppose that it was already a manufacturer's and airworthiness authority's mandatory procedure that an engineering/maintenance inspection be carried out on the system in question.
It rather begs the question why Qantas procedures had deviated so far from what an aviation professional might have reasonably expected to have occurred.
It is now rather gratifying that Qantas's proposed remedial changes will perhaps reflect a modicum of commonsense rather than mere commercial expediency.
