Don't think the Saudi TriStar fire is a fair comparison, that aircraft was clear of the runway and could have evacuated if the crew had depressurised and allowed the cabin staff to open the doors. The captain wasn't aiming to get to the terminal either, he was completely out of the loop, there was no doubt about the fire in that case, none at all, there was smoke in the cabin and considerable heat felt by the CC in the floor area in the cabin, it was a fire fed by hydraulic liquid
