No fire??

Given the extent of the damage, and the apparent lack of any fire, wouldnt it be a reasonable assumption that there was no fuel left in the tanks and the plane fell short of the runway?

This of course would raise the question as to why the crew didnt raise an alarm of low fuel and take appropriate action prior to it getting to the stage we now see.

Not intending to speculate - just interested to know if it's possible to have fuel in the tanks, have such substantial airframe damage but still have no fire.
