That would have been SOP at my airline.
Really? 🤓

Like Una, I would like to know if the fire continued after they fired the bottle(s), which also removes fuel to the engine.
If the fire was contained inside the engine, the fire drill should have stopped it.
I don’t believe they landed without trying to put the fire out. So, what was burning?
