Please share some good resources to understand and apply fire damage to the static equipment as per API 579.
General idea level pointers would help too.
Fire Damage Assessment - API 579
Re: Fire Damage Assessment - API 579
What would be your role in all this?
Depends the level you would be engaged before anything is suggested.

Re: Fire Damage Assessment - API 579
Let me just take you through this in very simple way and starting from where we need to end:
"We need to make sure that we have asset integrity restored, verified, and in ready to operate form"
That happens when we win in defining the typical zones:
Severely damaged - replace
Moderately affected - evaluate
Unaffected - OK
Now talking about that how can we reach here. It is a thorough work of engineering judgement, inspection data, and API logic. Not 2 engineers would be able to reach the same decision in case of fire damage.
I would recommend you to go through only L-1 part of API 579 on Fire Damage, which would explain you most of the things which may raise questions.
I would also recommend you to go through this below resource:
