Anyone has a clue as to how long after the aircraft came to a stop the pictures of the fire brigade hosing down the no 1 engine was taken?

If it was immediately after two things come to mind:

1. Slats look retracted. Did they land flaps up due to the damage to the wing/slats?

2. Looks kind of odd having a set of passenger stairs being pulled up while the brigade is still spraying. What if the situation had taken a turn for the worse and they would have had to evacuate. That door would not have opened in that case? (Of course, if it was after 30 minutes or so on the ground itīs a different story)
