Battery issue no doubt...

At Heathrow, television footage showed damage to the top of the jet's body near the passenger doors at the rear of the 787. That area of the aircraft houses the crew rest compartment, which sits above the passenger cabin. The 787's twin lithium-ion batteries are installed below the floor in electrical bays near the nose and between the wings of the aircraft, far from the damaged area visible in the footage.

And just what are the firefighters trying to get to in this picture? Note there is no visible damage to the top of the fuselage yet - it is reasonable to assume the fire was still spreading inside at this time.

Whether it is the fault of Boeing or Ethiopian remains to be seen - but it's far too early to rule out yet another battery fire based on one photograph.
