Wondering what folks would do on a similar scenario.

On finals to a rig in bad weather at 200 feet over the water, wind 40kts+. Fuel allows only one approach and the diversion is an hour or so away. With 1nm to 2nm to run you begin to get visual with the rig (in and out of cloud at 200ft.) and you then have an engine fire.

Do you, continue and land on the rig in the same configuration, hoping the fire does not get really hot or that's it's a false indication.Deal with the fire trying to maintain visual at 200 feet with the intention of landing on the rig single engine or go-around deal with the fire in the climb or at a better altitude and head to your diversion.

It's a long shot but as we've heard already on the thread things like this can happen.
