Probe of Singapore Air Jetliner Fire Focuses on Oil Cooler - WSJ
The fire was caused by the thinned out and fuel laden oil exiting the engine breather.When the A/C decelerated after landing the mist of fuel caught up with the A/C and caused the rather large fire on the wing surfaces There was no giant leak and that fire could have probably burned out on its own.
Here is a picture of a similar A/C with a breather fire.
Incident: Emirates B773 at Boston on Aug 10th 2014, engine fire after landing

The scale of the Emirates fire shown is of a different magnitude from that of the Singapore Airlines jet. So there may be doubt that the 'fire could probably have burned out on its own'.
I'll wait for the inquiry results but right now I believe the happy outcome borders on the miraculous.
