Which action is NOT part of a typical engine-fire emergency procedure on the ground?

• A. Deploy extinguisher
• B. Increase fuel flow
• C. Cut fuel supply
• D. Shut down the engine

Answer: (B)

In an engine-fire emergency on the ground, the goal is to stop feeding the fire and remove the engine as a fuel source, then apply suppression. Cutting the fuel supply and shutting down the engine are central steps because they quickly eliminate the fire’s fuel source and help contain the situation. Deploying the extinguisher is the next action to actively suppress flames in the engine compartment. Increasing fuel flow would feed and intensify the fire, making the situation worse and contrary to the objective of extinguishing it. So the option that does not fit is the one that would worsen the fire by adding more fuel.
