Thanks for all the constructive replies.
This is quite interesting to me. Quite obviously the end result will come down to the Captain on the day and as can be seen from these quotes,
As soon as there would be fire I'd call for evacuation using fwd and aft exits. (flames under fuel tanks anyway
Burning tires and brakes are carefully accounted for during the design and certification of an aircraft. Usually it must look very bad imo before an evacuation with broken necks, backs and arms are a better option.
the courses of action could be quite different.
I guess the way in which the information is passed to the pilots will have a certain effect on the decision making.
My plan now is to research what Boeing have built into the aircraft as a protection for this scenario before committing to a a mindset of " if there's flames, evacuate".
Does anybody know what measures are in place or where I could get info?
Thanks again.
