Narrative:

Captain landed on anc on the centerline; with the right main tires touching down first. Configuration was 50 flaps. Winds were reported 160/5; but he needed to apply crosswind controls all the way to touchdown. On short final from about 300 feet to 100 feet; there was light to moderate turbulence. Upon touchdown of the nose wheel; the aircraft [did weathervane] slightly to the right and the aircraft began to slide to the left. The aircraft went just past the center of the left half of the runway. Captain was able to regain control and started to return to the runway centerline. At approximately 80 knots with the thrust reversers deployed; we received and engine 1 fire alert. Captain stopped the aircraft straight ahead on the runway; and the fire warning extinguished. He initiated the engine. Fire/severe damage checklist and discharged the fire bottle. The fire trucks were rolled and confirmed that there was no evidence of fire. Captain had anc maintenance inspect the aircraft prior to taxiing as there was a side load applied to the landing gear and we were not sure if the left gear had departed the runway. Airport ops confirmed that we did not depart the runway. After cleared by maintenance he taxied to the ramp and was towed in to the spot. Runway was reported to be 4/4/4 on field conditions (ficon) readings. Maintenance confirmed that the runway was slick ice when they inspected us. Crew reported braking action as nil after we took care of the engine fire issue.icy runway with squirrelly winds accounted for the runway deviations. Engine fire indication could have been caused by snow and ice ingestion; as well as a small oil leak we identified and cleared prior to departure.
