The Fire extinguishing system is not automatic.
Activating it here, for No2 engine shuts down the fuel supply to the engine and the System discharges after pressing the extinguisherwhen N1 is somewhere below 45%.
you start the stopwatch and have another go after one minute.
If you donˋt extinguish the Fire it´s a „Land immediately“ - no 15 minutes time to play!
(Donˋt have the EC135 Manual at hand, but it sure is so, as it is with the BK117, the EC155 and also with the H145)
