I always thought it was an engine fire as thats where I see the flames coming from.  I feel kinda silly now.

Expanding the fire thought a little....... if you get a bomber fuselage on fire, shouldnt its ordinance go BOOM if not dropped immediately.  :D

No really most High Explosive needs to be subjected to the heat for a while before detonating. Could be anywhere from a minute to 10 minutes depending on how hot the fire gets. But dropping the ords would be a good idea in that situation.
