Uncontrolled engine fire

Hi, There are two ways to deal with an uncontrolled engine fire.
1 - Gear down, Flaps and land asap : 3 to 4 mins
2 - Perform a standard pattern : 8 to 10 mins

I was wondering, how long can you expect to stay alive with an uncontrolled engine fire ? I can not find written somewhere which way is the best.
Thanks for you answer.
