Isn't that what the fire warning light is for? The aircraft has an engine fire extinguishing system, right?
And even if the fire wasn't extinguished, the engine bays are typically rated to contain a fire for 15 minutes, right?
Once the spare engine went bang, then quiet, there weren't many options remaining.
