In addition to the FIRE light shown here, what other indications will appear with a detected engine fire?

• A. FIRE pushbutton on fire control panel, master warning, and ECAM warnings
• B. The engine anti-ice switch activates
• C. The cabin pressurization alert sounds
• D. The landing gear warning indicator flashes

Answer: (A)

When an engine fire is detected, the cockpit receives a coordinated alert beyond just the FIRE light. The red FIRE pushbutton on the engine fire panel also illuminates, signaling you to pull the button to discharge the fire bottle and isolate the affected engine. Simultaneously, a master warning activates to grab attention, and ECAM warnings display the engine-fire message with the corresponding procedures to follow. Other indicators like the engine anti-ice switch, cabin pressurization alert, or landing gear warning are not part of the standard engine-fire annunciation; they relate to different systems or conditions and aren’t automatically triggered by an engine-fire event.
