@Zoomer30 That's true, but one question remains. I know that there were fire detectors on the pad during that event, but why didn't they detect the fire earlier? That's what gets to me.
Mike Mullane's book, "Riding Rockets" spends some time detailing what was going on during the shut down. I highly recommend the book, it's a great read, and gives you insight into things NASA doesn't talk about.
The fire was minor but as this was the first time this had happened they had some issues to iron put. They had to manually command the water spray to put out the small fires. After 41D this was automatic ( they got a LOT of practice at RSLS aborts). The LH2 that had flowed into the engines had to be vented out the nozzle, which caused spot fires.
@captainpiccard They are on.
