A hybrid electric powerplant can include an electric motor configured to convert electrical energy into kinetic energy to turn a propulsor, and a heat engine configured to convert a fuel into kinetic energy to turn the propulsor. The powerplant can include a firewall disposed around at least one of the electric motor or the heat engine to create an electric motor fire zone and a heat engine fire zone separate from the electric motor fire zone such that the electric motor is protected against a heat engine fire, and vice versa.
