I agree, land the aircraft...deal with the fire on the ground...
The aircraft may be able to fly under the circumstances mentioned however if the fire becomes uncontrollable....what then?
What about the increased workload, as you fly the GA trying to resolve issues of engire fire?
All these are threats and by going around you're simply increasing them.
In the controlled world of the sim, thats fine..but in real life....LAND!!
