From: last time I looked I was still here.
Yes: but the question ( and it is purely technical and should be answered by the boffins who designed the system) is what is the best way to 'throw everything at it' to achieve the best chance of extinguishing the fire. Is it 1 bottle, wait, 2nd bottle, or both ASAP? I suspect pilots have only an opinion based on what their respective SOP says. I doubt they've ever tried it. I doubt airline engineers have ever tried it. I hope and trust the fire extinguisher & engine designers have done so.
