Narrative:

During takeoff at rochester, ny 'roc' runway 22, #3 engine fire warning sounded during acceleration at which time an aborted takeoff was executed. Upon stopping the aircraft and clearing the runway the #3 engine was shut down and the fire stopped using the engine fire/severe damage/separation checklist. The tower was advised of the aborted takeoff, and emergency equipment and fire trucks requested. During taxi the tower was asked if any fire was visible and the reply was no fire observed. Wing flaps were placed to full down position should an emergency evacuate/evacuation be required. We continued to taxi toward the emergency equipment and called company for assistance to deplane passenger. When we met the emergency equipment and fire trucks at the ramp area, the firemen examined the aircraft and told us there was still no fire, but due to fuel leakage from #3 engine, we were told to shut down the other 2 engines. The remaining engines were shut down and the passenger were advised of the problem using the PA and were kept advised of the situation. Using truck mounted steps, the passenger were deplaned normally with no panic or injuries. Supplemental information from acn 133223: the tower informed us that he had seen a flame coming out of the engine on the runway but it appeared to be out. Supplemental information from acn 133400: the captain elected not to deplane via the aft airstair and mobile stairs were used to deplane. An FAA representative met the flight crew and wrote down medical numbers, certificate numbers and recency of experience information.
