With the HK incident, the pressurisation was left in the "standby mode" and therefor upon landing did NOT automatically depressurise as it would in the "Auto" mode.

Tailpipe fires, although spectacular in appearance, do not result in the aeroplane being "burned to embers" so evac is generally not needed or desired.
