How is an "Engine Fire" on the ground typically managed?

Managing an "Engine Fire" on the ground involves immediate and decisive action to ensure the safety of the crew and any passengers. Initiating BOLDFACE procedures is critical as these are the standardized emergency actions specifically designed to mitigate the effects of an engine fire. These procedures outline the necessary steps to secure the aircraft and address the fire, which may include shutting down the engine and attempting to extinguish the fire if safe to do so.

Evacuating the aircraft may also be necessary depending on the severity of the fire and the situation at hand. The primary goal in such scenarios is to prevent injuries to anyone aboard and to maintain control of the aircraft's systems until help arrives. The BOLDFACE procedures are crafted to provide clear guidance and actions that must be taken in such emergencies, which is why they are emphasized as the appropriate response.

Taking actions such as calling for assistance without acting or shutting down all electrical systems could lead to more dangerous situations or may not effectively address the fire. Additionally, increasing engine power during an engine fire contradicts the fundamental protocol for managing such an emergency.
