Hi,

Rigpiggy,
oh for fudges sake haven't we learned from previous, have a fire indication treat it as real and get on the ground....... on average 8-12 minutes before your done. had a groundcrew signal an engine fire, captain shut them both down, and fired the bottles as per sop. we were called on the carpet as to why we fired both bottles for a stack fire. " because thats the way you wrote the SOPs
What I understand from your post is that the captain used both bottles after the ground crew informed you about the engine fire. If this is true, then you had engine tailpipe fire (internal fire) and not engine fire (external fire).

Did you have engine fire alarm in the cockpit?

Feedback appreciated.
Regards
