If you abandon take-off with a fire in an engine, then the upwind engine is the most critical! It is officially advised that even a few knots blowing the fire towards the fuselage may have a disastrous effect if fuel leakage occurs, so ever since the MAN 737 incident, I've found it's worth briefing which engine/s is upwind and whether you will try and turn as you stop to prevent fire moving towards the fuselage.
