Almost - normally 2 engines at 10,000' and this is normally the most critical fuel required BUT it could be too high up with fire or excessive smoke in the cockpit - the need to ditch/force land could happen pretty quickly and it would take too long.

I guess you just have to hope the incident happens well away from any CP.
