Temperature

Most engineers will ask what the max temp was on the EGT. this will determine the level of inspection required.

Have had a couple of these myself and as long as there was not a start EGT exceedance the a quick look in the back will suffice.
I would always recommend you call an engineer over for a quick look though 'cos there may be a cause for the fire (other than low duct pressure).
