Approach, 2 min at 600 ft/min; 1200 ft, shutdown on the runway if unable earlier.
Two points
With engine fire you are on two engines and not on one. You reach 400ft very fast.
Second at least for Airbus for fire 400ft not necessarily mandatory. Fire is the only ECAM that appears straight away unlike EFATO where it comes after 30seconds. So upto you. If aircraft under control can start actions.
