Q

How will the APU react to a FIRE on the ground?

A

Pg 8-9 (SYS)

ON GROUND: Upon detection of the fire, the APU Control Unit (ACU) automatically closes the fuel and bleed air SOVs;

5 seconds later it discharges the fire bottle so the halon can remove O2 from fire; the external horn will sound.
