Once the wing is gone, I don't care whether the fire is still going or not.
Would jettisoning fuel be a good thing because it would kill the fire faster, or would it be a bad thing because the trail of fire from the engine might ignite it and cause other problems?
Dunno.
I do know that once you get aluminum hot enough, it starts burning just like magnesium. Usually you think of flammable aircraft as being the ones with wooden frames and doped cloth surfaces; but I guess an aluminum aircraft could have a more severe version of the same problem.
I didn't know aluminum could "catch fire."
