    An engine fire isn’t necessarily an issue of the aircraft itself. Engines are quite disconnected from the aircraft they are propelling, many aircraft do have multiple engine options, and jet engines are often not even owned by the aircraft’s owner, but leased directly from the engine manufacturer in a separate contract, because they are so damn expensive.
