With reference to the effect of wind, I strongly suggest you read this AAIB report;

https://assets.digital.cabinet-offic...988_G-BGJL.pdf

Section 2.6.1.2 Paragraph 4 explains the effect of a light crosswind on spreading an engine fire over and under the fuselage, exacerbating the problem. Turning the aircraft, if runway width permits for your type, should always be considered.

Susier, thank you for your input but I think you misunderstood me.
