Narrative:

Our flight was cleared for takeoff. It was my leg to fly. I set power and captain stated he was (looking) outside. Captain panel was clear and all systems normal. Between 70-80 KIAS I felt 1 of the engines may not have been developing full power (it sounded funny!). The aircraft seemed to be pulling to the left. I questioned the captain and both of us checked all engine instruments. On a 'hunch' the captain called 'abort' in spite of all indications normal. The aircraft pulled hard to the right and I pulled the left power lever over the gate for maximum reverse to counteract pulling to right. The captain took over power levers at this time. As we were skidding to the right about to go off the runway captain pulled left feather handle which shut down left engine. Directional control was immediately restored. The aircraft smoothly rolled to a stop at taxiway 55. Speed levers were pulled back and the right engine which had been slowly decelerating stopped running. The right propeller stopped and feathered. Both engines are dead at this point. I called tower to say we had aborted takeoff. We then experienced total electrical failure for approximately 5 seconds. The captain then cleaned up the aircraft and closed right lp fuel to hydraulics. As captain was cleaning up I noticed right engine smoking at the exhaust stack, at intake and smoke coming out the top engine nacelle vent. Battery power was restored. Right engine nacelle was smoking profusely and I told captain there was now fire coming out the exhaust stack. Captain then elected to deplane passengers out the entrance door as a precaution. I called tower and told them we had lost right engine on takeoff and it was now on fire and requested assistance. They stated emergency vehicles were on the way. I called company operations stated our position and requested assistance. I turned off battery master. The captain had deplaned all passengers and returned to aircraft. At this time I saw a small flame coming out top of engine nacelle vent. Captain advised to fire engine fire extinguishers, which I did. Fire trucks arrived approximately 15 mins later and shot extinguishing agent into the intake. They said they could still see flame inside at the intake. Company bus arrived approximately 20 mins later and passengers and bags were taken to the terminal. #1, we aborted takeoff on a 'hunch.' #2, we deplaned passengers as a precaution in spite that we felt it was just a 'stack fire.' #3, we blew the fire bottles off, again just as a precaution.
