Did they ever get that fire out? Looks like they need more water cannons.
I watched it on one of the hanger-on sites and yea, it took about 10 minutes but they eventually got it out, then vented the rest of the tank. I'm guessing they aren't building these to "full strength" yet which is causing some of those type issues. Launch is around 9:22:00, landing is around 9:28:00, fire is out around 9:48.



Also, in the original SpaceX video I posted, I noticed it appears that they just barely made the landing pad. I doubt that was intentional.
