If fire persists means you have fired both the agents and may be at about 1000ft.AGL. ECAM would not be complete and there is nothing in ECAM/STS for fire remaining so the rest of the ECAM is useless and there is no other way to put out the fire. The situation is even more time limiting than Hudson landing. So all the luxuries of decision making tool are not available. A320 can be flown in select modes without any sophistications. Off course tell PM your intention who in turn should inform ATC and very briefly crew and passengers what they are expected to do and return to help PF. The only procedure you need is On Ground Emergency Evacuation. In VMC turn downwind descending to circling approach minima maintaining Take off Configuration and towards end of downwind take the gear down and in final turn flaps to full and land. Use full reverse till complete stop. Then carry out an evacuation.
