No actions below 400ft (or 500ft) doesn't just apply on takeoff.
I agree.

I was given an engine fire while within about 1 or two minutes of landing with the runway in sight.
The Eng fire warning must have been received above 500 feet. 1 or 2 minutes is plenty of time to secure the engine, continue the approach and transmit a May Day.
