So you wouldn't land immediately if the fire happened outside the FAF or are you just saying you would run the QRH and land immediately outside the FAF?
As stupid as you all think the OP's question is, I've had to commandeer the airplane during two separate lofts now with smoke/fire (or possible fire) on board after the CA wanted to hold or execute a missed approach. Maybe that was with a couple of you on here.
The OP scenario was an engine fire - you know that thing that actually has a system to put out a fire and a procedure to do so? Or, are we talking something else? Using your head is good. Stepping on your d**k can be disastrous.
You "commandeered"?? Was capt. incapacitation part of the scenario??? If not - you still have a job???? What company was this? Is there something I'm not understanding here?
Speak up? Absolutely!!
Be assertive? That's also part of your job!!
But, unless the the PIC is incapacitated, he/she is ALWAYS the PIC.

I've made my point. There are CA's out there that appear to have no qualms with holding in a pattern with the airplane burning like a match stick even after being KINDLY ASKED by their FO to GTFONG.
What company was this? What are you, nuts? This is flightf(beep)ckinginfo.com. I'm making it all up.
