What happens if an engine does not start and an induction fire continues to burn?

In the scenario where an engine does not start and an induction fire continues to burn, the immediate action required is to extinguish the fire to prevent potential damage, injury, or further hazards. Induction fires can produce high temperatures and pose a significant risk, especially in an aircraft environment where flammable materials are present.

The role of a fire guard is crucial in this situation. A fire guard is responsible for monitoring and managing fire hazards throughout the aircraft. Promptly extinguishing the fire minimizes the risk of it spreading or causing additional damage to the engine or surrounding components.

Ignoring the fire or assuming it will extinguish itself is dangerous, as it presents serious safety risks. Attempting to restart the engine while an induction fire is active can also exacerbate the situation by introducing more fuel or igniting additional sources of fire. Thus, quickly addressing the fire by having the fire guard extinguish it is the safest and most effective course of action.
