From C-172 Emergency Procedures

ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT
1. Mixture-Idle cut-off.
2. Fuel Selector Valve-Off.
3. Master Switch-Off.
4. Cabin Heat and Air-Off (except overhead vents).
5. Airspeed-100 KIAS (if fire is not extinguished, increase
glide speed to find an airspeed which will provide an
incombustible mixture).
6. Forced landing Execute (as describe in emergency
landing without engine power).

Sitting here in my living room, I wouldn't have thought of #5. Not sure if it would occur to me in the heat of the moment or not.
