Engine Fire scenario: which action aligns with QRH engine fire procedures?

In an engine fire, the proper response is to follow the Engine Fire procedures in the QRH. The QRH contains the tested, step-by-step actions designed to isolate and suppress the fire, safely shut down the affected engine, and prepare the aircraft for a safe landing if needed. By adhering to these published steps, the crew maintains control of the airplane, ensures the fire suppression system is used correctly, and coordinates actions in a consistent, trained sequence. Ignoring warnings or trying to improvise without the checklist can miss critical steps that shut off fuel, bleed, or hydraulics or misoperate the extinguishing system, while simply aiming for the nearest airport without following the prescribed procedure can leave the fire unaddressed or introduce additional hazards.
