They agreed.
A simple screw or pop out port to the engine room is easy if you have access under a stair (common) or again like many, cracking a hatch would be the same if it allows direct spray into the engine room.

Under stair installation of a Fire Port is ideal but not always practical. Problem is that a FE that works through a fire port must have a hose long enough for the extinguisher to be held in a vertical position.
