Singapore Airlines "evacuation"

Hi all, having seen the pictures of the "wing on fire" of Singapore airlines recently, i am shocked to hear that the crew elected to have the pax wait onboard for 5 minutes while the fire services arrived, and another 5-10 minutes while the fire was being put out.

Would there be any reason why the crew elected not to evacuate, rather than take their chances of having the fire spread? I know this is a very "what if" scenario and we may not be aware of all the facts, but if you were in the same situation, would you have evacuated the aircraft?
