It's a salutary reminder of how dangerous fire is, Boeing estimate that only 97 Gallons (367 ltr) off fuel spilled and yet the Club World cabin wall looks to have been compromised with charring on the side of the wall at Row 11.(see image) The fire took 4 minutes and 37 seconds, after the aircraft stopped, to be extinguished and this is at a large 'first world' airport.

A full wing on a 200ER contains about 9,500 US Gallons (36,200 lts.)
