ENG FIRE test does not have an asterisk so it needs to be done on every flight crew change , that might be the N th time of the day during the last 24 hours , it does not matter.

obviously , MEL takes precedance . If for instance you had " ENG FIRE DETECTION LOOP A on ENG 1 " , item 26-12-01 A , it states to perform the engine fire test before each flight . That means even during a transit stop without flight crew change , you are stil required to perform an engine fire test

That would be the answer if that was our SOP but that is not our SOP.
