From personal experience, an engine fire is another good time to be on the ground!
I was fire officer at Seletar which at the time was home to 66 Squadron Belvederes. Avpin fires on start-up were not unknown. After one such incident the section for deaths/injuries in the report read "pilot broke ankle jumping out of aircraft"!
