Narrative:
We had an engine failure and fire on climb out. The best information at this time indicates that engine bearings had started to fail. This, according to the fdr, started a propeller vibration that combined with the bearing failure vibration to cause the oil supply line to fail. Oil, under pressure, blew over the hot section causing an oil fire. The engine failed and we got a 'tail pipe zone' fire light. The checklist was followed and the engine was secured. The fire went out when the engine was shut down. We landed without any further problem, without any injury to passenger (29 on board) or crew (3).

Title: FLC OF AN MDT ACR ACFT EXPERIENCED AN ENG FAILURE WITH ACCOMPANYING OIL ENG FIRE DURING CLBOUT AFTER TKOF RESULTING IN AN EMER AND RETURN LAND.
Narrative: WE HAD AN ENG FAILURE AND FIRE ON CLBOUT. THE BEST INFO AT THIS TIME INDICATES THAT ENG BEARINGS HAD STARTED TO FAIL. THIS, ACCORDING TO THE FDR, STARTED A PROP VIBRATION THAT COMBINED WITH THE BEARING FAILURE VIBRATION TO CAUSE THE OIL SUPPLY LINE TO FAIL. OIL, UNDER PRESSURE, BLEW OVER THE HOT SECTION CAUSING AN OIL FIRE. THE ENG FAILED AND WE GOT A 'TAIL PIPE ZONE' FIRE LIGHT. THE CHKLIST WAS FOLLOWED AND THE ENG WAS SECURED. THE FIRE WENT OUT WHEN THE ENG WAS SHUT DOWN. WE LANDED WITHOUT ANY FURTHER PROB, WITHOUT ANY INJURY TO PAX (29 ON BOARD) OR CREW (3).
