Such an awesome landing, small fire, but happy that it was dealt with quickly and effectively (although, they need more fire suppression mechanisms surrounding the launch/landing pad).

After this landing of SN15 there was a fire visible at the base of the rocket after touchdown, which they apparently didn't manage to extinguish for several minutes.
And IIRC, SN10's explosion in March was due to a methane leak eventually getting ignited by a fire on the rocket skirt, which they still hadn't managed to extinguish 8 minutes after touchdown.
I ain't no rocket scientist, so whether the above incidents really are evidence that their fire suppression systems are inadequate, I obviously can't speak to definitely... but at least from my total layman's perspective, it certainly does seem like they might be.
