I'd be very careful opening the engine compartment up top or in the passenger cabin behind the seats. Also with any holes that you may need to pop out a plug to access the engine. Reason being that this could add air to the fire and could cause a flash of fire.

I made this assumption by recalling fire safety points like not opening the door to a room that is on fire. The engine is already exposed to air from the side and bottom but the last thing I'd want is someone to get a flash burn (source: 2 years of work in a burn center; I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone).
