AN ATR42-320 ON LNDG ROLLOUT DECLARED AN EMER AND EVACED THE ACFT DUE TO A R ENG FIRE.

Narrative

ON THE DATE OF JAN/XX/98; I WAS WORKING FOR ACR X AS A FO ON AN ATR42-320. ON THIS DATE; I WAS ASSIGNED TO FLY A RTE FROM NEWARK; NJ; TO HARTFORD; CT; FLT YYY. THE FLC CONSISTED OF CAPT XYZ; FLT ATTENDANT ZZZ AND MYSELF. THE ACFT THAT WE WERE ASSIGNED TO FLY ON THIS EVENING WAS ABC. THE FLT DEPARTED FROM NEWARK; NJ; AT XA00 HRS AND CONTINUED INTO THE HARTFORD TERMINAL AREA; WITHOUT INCIDENT OR INDICATION OF TROUBLE; ALONG THE FILED FLT RTE. I WAS THE PF ON THIS LEG; AND CAPT WAS OPERATING THE COMS. AS WE CONTINUED TOWARDS THE RWY; THE APCH WAS UNEVENTFUL AND PERFORMED ACCORDING TO COMPANY PROCS. AS I REQUESTED THAT THE CONDITION LEVERS BE BROUGHT FORWARD TO ALLOW MAX RPM ON THE PROPS; CAPT XYZ MADE A COMMENT REGARDING THE RPM FOR THE 2 PROPS NOT MATCHING; AND THAT THE L PROP APPEARED TO HAVE A LOWER RPM. I CONTINUED TO DSND TOWARDS THE RWY AND EVENTUALLY CROSSED THE RWY THRESHOLD. I LANDED THE ACFT ON RWY 33. AFTER THE NOSEWHEEL OF THE ACFT TOUCHED THE RWY; I BROUGHT THE PWR LEVERS INTO THE REVERSE MODE IN AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW THE ACFT. AS SOON AS I BROUGHT THE PWR LEVERS BACK INTO REVERSE; I HEARD A LOUD EXPLODING SOUND; THEN SAW A BRIGHT ORANGE GLOW REFLECTING ON THE SNOW OFF OF THE R SIDE OF RWY 33. THE ORANGE GLOW QUICKLY GREW BRIGHTER AS THE ACFT SLOWED; AND I HEARD SEVERAL LOUD BANG NOISES COMING FROM ENG #2. I THEN LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW; BACK TOWARDS THE #2 ENG (R SIDE) AND SAW FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENG NACELLE. AT THE SAME TIME; THE BRADLEY TWR CTLR ADVISED US THAT OUR #2 ENG WAS ON FIRE. WE WERE RECEIVING NO PANEL INDICATIONS OF AN ENG FIRE. CAPT XYZ APPLIED THE BRAKES ON THE ACFT AND BROUGHT IT TO A STOP ON RWY 33; THEN SET THE PARKING BRAKE. THE ENG FIRE WARNINGS FOR ENG #2 ALERTED US AT THIS MOMENT THAT ENG #2 WAS IN FACT ON FIRE. CAPT XYZ ADVISED THE TWR CTLR THAT WE WOULD BE EVACING THE ACFT. AT THIS TIME I HAD BROUGHT THE PROP CONDITION LEVERS TO THE FUEL SHUT OFF POS AND CAPT XYZ BROUGHT THE PWR LEVERS TO GND IDLE. I THEN REACHED UP AND PULLED THE FIRE HANDLE FOR ENG #2 AS CAPT XYZ PULLED THE FIRE HANDLE TO ENG #1. I ATTEMPTED TO EXTINGUISH THE ENG FIRE BY DISCHARGING SQUIB B. I SAW THAT THE FIRE WAS STILL BURNING SO I THEN DISCHARGED SQUIB A. AFTER THE 2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WERE DISCHARGED; THE FIRE CONTINUED TO BURN AND GREW IN INTENSITY. I THEN UNBUCKLED MY SAFETY BELT AND SHOULDER HARNESS AND EXITED THE COCKPIT; TOWARDS THE PAX CABIN; TO ASSIST WITH EVAC. CAPT XYZ REMAINED IN THE COCKPIT AND SECURED IT PRIOR TO EXITING. AS I ENTERED THE CABIN AREA; THE FLT ATTENDANT WAS GIVING COMMANDS TO THE PAX TO EVAC THE ACFT FROM THE L SIDE. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A PAX WHO HAD OPENED THE L SIDE EMER EXIT AND WAS ASSISTING IN HELPING PEOPLE EVAC THROUGH. I THEN EXITED VIA THE L SIDE EMER EXIT; THEN ASSISTED; FROM THE GND; IN GETTING PEOPLE OUT OF THE ACFT FROM THAT EXIT. AT THIS TIME I NOTICED THAT THE #2 ENG WAS ON FIRE AND THERE WAS FUEL POURING OUT OF THE ENG NACELLE; ONTO THE GND. THERE WAS A LARGE POOL OF FUEL ON THE GND UNDER THE ACFT THAT HAD IGNITED AND WAS BURNING. APPROX 1 MIN AFTER I EXITED THE ACFT; THE LAST PAX EXITED AND RAN AWAY FROM THE AREA; TOWARDS THE TERMINAL. CAPT XYZ EXITED THE ACFT VIA THE MAIN CABIN EXIT AND VERIFYING THAT ALL OF THE ACFT OCCUPANTS WERE OUT AND AWAY FROM THE ACFT. AT THAT TIME; SEVERAL FIRE VEHICLES APCHED THE ACFT AND SPRAYED THE ACFT WITH FOAM.
