Narrative:

At approximately 300 feet after taking off; we received left engine ovht immediately followed by a left engine fire warning and EICAS message. We [advised ATC] and decided to return. Upon reaching 1000 feet we performed the immediate action items; performed an engine status check; and as pilot monitoring; I continued with the associated QRH procedures. The fire warning disappeared after pulling the fire handle. The status check showed no signs of severe engine damage. We requested vectors and eventually landed at departure airport. Initial inspection by airport rescue and fire fighting after landing indicated an open panel on the lower engine area but no signs of fire. Upon arriving to the parking spot; maintenance personnel did confirm that engine damage had occurred.
