Quite new on the 73-700 myself and only a lowly FO but I do brief that if visual in this scenario (uncontained fire/any fire) it will be a visual to land, a circuit or a 180 wind and traffic dependant.

Checklists can be run time permitting but all I/we need is speeds set for approach, gear and flaps down. Anything else is nice to have but not necessary.

IMC, bets are off but a tight vectored ILS to a short say 6 mile final, hoping the emergency turn isn't to convoluted!!

Just saw your post Checkers, your thoughts on a cabin fire or unextinguished hold fire? only the thought of any fire airbourne scares me to death.
