There's never a "small fire"...at sea or in the air.... "and to an even greater degree than the sea, aviation is terribly unforgiving of any incapacity or neglect" fire warnings or indications thereof are only to be deemed false once on the ground and safely out of the aircraft....while Boeing's "new philosophy" is "read and do" as far as the evacuation checklist is concerned...we all have a very good reason to be thoroughly familiar with it...God bless the innocent lives that were lost...may we never cease to learn from these unfortunate occurences..
