So, Boeing wants me to consider turning a B744 in the middle of a 60, or worse, 45m RWY for to avoid wind blowing a fire towards the fuselage. The distance from the engines to the fuselage is considerable for an eng. fire flame to reach it. As I can't ask Boeing why, I ask the world best pliots in PPRuNe.
Yes, they want you to consider turning in the middle of a runway. After you've considered it you can decide whether it is the best thing to do or not. If there is a taxiway placed in a convenient position, you could turn on to that, if there is no room to manoeuvre, then keep the centreline. Just because they suggest you "consider" something doesn't mean you have to do it.
