P68C Throttle Closed- Engine Fire on Ground

//............................................Old thread restarted............................................//

While going through the Flight Manual of P68C Partenavia, I discovered that on this particular type of aircraft the Throttle needs to be closed in such an emergency. I wonder why is it so.

I wanted to compare this with other aircraft. So, I looked up the same for Diamond DA40 and Seneca III PA34-220T.

On the Diamond, the manual says Throttle for Max Power. And for the Seneca, Throttle Open. Both these are conventional approaches and in-line with common knowledge. Why is it different for the Partenavia? If somebody else is familiar with this type of aircraft, please shed some light on this.
