If the cause of the fire is readily apparent and accessible, use the fire
extinguisher to extinguish flames and land as soon as possible.
Opening the vents or doors may feed the fire, but to avoid
incapacitating the crew from smoke inhalation, it may be necessary to
rid cabin of smoke or fire extinguishant.
If required to re-activate systems, pause several seconds between
activating each system to isolate malfunctioning system. Continue
flight to earliest possible landing with malfunctioning system off.
Activate only the minimum amount of equipment necessary to
complete a safe landing.
