Narrative:

After starting engines, #1 engine needed to be shut down to accommodate late bags, resulting in a fire after shutdown. This was noticed by several ground people around the airplane and crew. Aircraft was evacuate/evacuationed with normal emergency procedures. No fire damage could be visible from the outside. Supplemental information from acn 280268: their close proximity to the propeller caused a safety hazard. I shut down the engine using the feather lever. #1 fire bottle was discharged into the engine.
