From: various places .....
.. but keep in mind that management of such an emergency is a balance between competing risks. There is not much point implementing a low level quick return (which is good from the fire consideration) if, in so doing, you end up with a CFIT .. you are just as dead as if the wing burnt off.

It follows that the optimum risk solution will vary according to circumstances .. which will include experience and skill levels, location, etc.
