Incident: British Airways B772 near Brussels on Nov 18th 2010, cargo fire indication
It looks like there might have been a cargo fire, not just a warning 
.
If the fire services removed a container and then the a/c was unable to continue there may be a/c damage (IMHO of course)
A British Airways Boeing 777-200, registration G-YMMN performing flight BA-165 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Tel Aviv (Israel), was enroute at FL390 about 10nm southeast of Oostende and 45nm west of Brussels (Belgium) when the crew reported a cargo fire indication and decided to divert to Brussels descending to 6000 feet in the next 10 minutes (average sink rate 3300 fpm). The airplane landed safely on Brussels Zaventem's runway 25L about 15 minutes after reporting the fire indication. Emergency services inspected the forward cargo hold and removed a container.

Lots of excitement at BRU yesterday then. Belgian AF Airbus 310 made its farewell with a low pass over the field accompanied by four F16s. Would have been more exciting still if the F16s had been escorting the BA 777.
