Most airplane POHs call for immediate shutdown of the engine at the first sign of an engine fire. Others have different recommendations—advising to fly the burning airplane to a point from which landing is assured, and only then shutting off the engine—or they may have no Engine Fire in Flight checklist at all.

Its normal when engines arevrecalibrating to burn off excessive fuel. Its just unburnt furl being expelled and burning behind the engine. It stops in a few minutes
