Passed your LDP , and you have a engine failure..

Ok here is one for you experienced twin guys. A friend and I were talking on Skype last night about this situaiton. A mutal friend was given this on a sim ride.

You are on final, and have passed your LDP. The number one is failing, and has indications of possible fire.

What do you do?
Do you roll the engine back and have the co-joe reach up, pull the fire bottle T handle , and risk pulling the wrong lever, or do you just fly the thing to the ground and get everyone out and not worry about the a/c.

My thoughts would be , since you have already passed your LDP, you have decided you are landing, just land the machine. Why try to complicate the situation.

I ma told this wasnt exaclty what the sim instructor was looking for.

What would you do.

ANy one have experience in a similar situation?
