Our (B757/767) SOPs call for any engine failure on take-off and prior to flap retract to be treated as an Engine Fire/Severe Damage/Separation case and the appropriate recall actions to be carried out. If following the recall actions, which include the pulling of the Fire Switch but only firing the bottle/s if there is a fire, an attempted relight is required, then the fire handle is restowed. As long as the handle has not been pulled for longer than approx. 5 minutes, all services will be restored. Longer than approx. 5 minutes and the appropriate engine driven hyd pump is automatically locked out to prevent damage. Therefore following a successful inflight start after that time, the appropriate engine driven hyd pump would not be available irrespective of pump switch position.
