What happens to a microwave if a metal travel mug, filled with liquid, top screwed on, is heated and catches on fire? How can we tell if the microwave is still okay to use?

Microwave radiation does not go through metal. It rebounds off the metal and if it is painted will light the paint on fire. It should not damage the microwave oven unless the fire was allowed to go out of control and damaged the structure or door. Please, do not put any metal in a microwave oven, ever. Please, don't do it!
