A320 CREW HAD AN ENG TAILPIPE FIRE; AFTER ENG SHUTDOWN; BLOCKING AT THE GATE.

Narrative

CHKLIST WAS COMPLETED AND COCKPIT DOOR WAS OPENED. RAMPER CAME INTO COCKPIT TO INFORM US OF FLAMES SEEN IN #2 ENG. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF FIRE FROM COCKPIT DISPLAYS OR ALARMS. FIRE BUTTON WAS THEN PUSHED AND EXTENDED AND #2 SQUIB WAS DISCHARGED. QRH WAS CHKED; BUT NONE OF THE ITEMS FIT WITH THIS SIT SINCE THERE WAS NO FIRE INDICATION LIGHT; BELL; ECAM MESSAGE; OR ELECTRONIC CHKLIST DISPLAYED. CAPT THEN INFORMED ASSISTED PURSER IN CTLED EVAC OF ACFT THROUGH DOOR 1L. FO STAYED IN COCKPIT TO MONITOR COMS AND LOOK FOR ANY OTHER EMER INDICATIONS. MECHS THEN CAME INTO COCKPIT AND STARTED COORDINATING THE CRANKING OF THE #2 ENG WITH SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE ACFT. I DIDN'T KNOW THE STATUS OF THE COORD SINCE THEY HAD THEIR OWN RADIOS WITH DISCREET FREQS. IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT I WAS PUT OUT OF THE LOOP OF COMS. AT THIS POINT THE SAFETY OF THE ACFT WAS REASONABLY ASSURED AND THE FOLLOW-UP PROCS WERE ALSO TAKEN OVER BY GND PERSONNEL. THE FLT CREW THEN DEPARTED THE ACFT AND COMMENCED ADMINISTRATIVE PROCS.
