I still remember my old USAF of "Stop. Think. Collect your wits" but that was decades ago.

for an engine failure after t/o, we would do nothing until 1000ft or obstacle clearance, clean up and then work through with Thrust Lever-retard; Engine Start lever-Cutoff

For fire warning, mostly the same except some punched the fire switch before retarding the throttle and others went through thrust lever to idle, if light still illuminated, start switch off, if still illuminated, fire switch push.. 30 seconds if still illuminated, push other switch.

Most of the procedures made sense if one just STOPPED and thought about what was happening. For example, the fire light means there is heat being sensed where there shouldn't be any. But the engine is producing thrust and if necessary, let it burn for a while until one gets enough speed.
