This happened in the sim. The airplane climbed like a bat out of hell and accelerated. The engine had to be shut down. I think this is something best handled by use of the " severe damage" check list.
The Engine Fire, Severe Damage or Seperation checklist that we had up until last summer said in the description of the condition:

Fire is detected in the related engine; Severe Damage which may be associated with airframe vibration and / or abnormal engine indications has
occurred; or the engine has seperated.

By this older version I am justified to go ahead with the memory items and shutdown the engine.
What constitute's severe damage?
If anybody has a good definition of Severe Damage, I would like to see it.
