Maybe they should think about including this area in pre-flight inspections, just a thought. I suppose it depends on how easily the gear door can be lowered.
Having read the report and looking at the cause, had a fire started it would have been uncontrollable, and I don't think anyone would have made it back, frightening really.

It is possible that it is an airline requirement not a AMS one, I am not sure.
