by now I would think 757 pilots would know of the windshield heat smoke/fire situation on this plane type.
I imagine the first step is to turn off the windshield heat and do the checklist.
I also think that after Valuejet and the everglades and the Swissair Tragedy that getting to any surface IF OTHER METHODS TO DEAL WITH SMOKE/FIRE are not quickly successful is also in the back of pilots' minds.
