You go. There are many variables to consider weight, type of a/c etc. In a heavy once you pass v-1 you're stopping data is invalid. Trying to stop 830,000 lbs from 170 knots with limited space is something I would not recommend. An engine fire can be dealt with in flight and an immediate return overweight is possible if you do not want to take the time to dump if the fire warning is still on.
