Narrative:

On jan/xa/99, flight XXX was en route from moline, il, to stl. On short final to runway 12L, we had an engine fire indication in the cockpit (cap light, continually repetitive chime, master warning, illuminated #2 engine fire handle). The captain silenced the aural alert, and I continued the landing once on the ground on the rollout, the captain took the steering and control of the aircraft and we turned off on taxiway north. We completed the memory items for an on ground engine fire and then ran the appropriate emergency checklist. The checklist called for us to notify ATC, in which the captain declared an emergency and had crash fire rescue equipment notified. We then notified the flight attendants of the situation and had them (2) evacuate/evacuation the cabin through the main cabin door (because the fire indication was on the opposite side). After we completed the checklist, the captain asked me to go in back and make sure all passenger were out of the aircraft and to ensure all 17 passenger were in one area away from the aircraft. Soon thereafter, crash fire rescue equipment came with the trucks and determined the fire was extinguished. During the evacuate/evacuation process no one was injured, including the crew members.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: AN ATR72 ON APCH AT 300 FT DECLARED AN EMER DUE TO A FIRE WARNING IN #2 ENG CAUSED BY A FAILED ENG FUEL LINE COUPLING SEAL.

Narrative: ON JAN/XA/99, FLT XXX WAS ENRTE FROM MOLINE, IL, TO STL. ON SHORT FINAL TO RWY 12L, WE HAD AN ENG FIRE INDICATION IN THE COCKPIT (CAP LIGHT, CONTINUALLY REPETITIVE CHIME, MASTER WARNING, ILLUMINATED #2 ENG FIRE HANDLE). THE CAPT SILENCED THE AURAL ALERT, AND I CONTINUED THE LNDG ONCE ON THE GND ON THE ROLLOUT, THE CAPT TOOK THE STEERING AND CTL OF THE ACFT AND WE TURNED OFF ON TXWY N. WE COMPLETED THE MEMORY ITEMS FOR AN ON GND ENG FIRE AND THEN RAN THE APPROPRIATE EMER CHKLIST. THE CHKLIST CALLED FOR US TO NOTIFY ATC, IN WHICH THE CAPT DECLARED AN EMER AND HAD CFR NOTIFIED. WE THEN NOTIFIED THE FLT ATTENDANTS OF THE SIT AND HAD THEM (2) EVAC THE CABIN THROUGH THE MAIN CABIN DOOR (BECAUSE THE FIRE INDICATION WAS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE). AFTER WE COMPLETED THE CHKLIST, THE CAPT ASKED ME TO GO IN BACK AND MAKE SURE ALL PAX WERE OUT OF THE ACFT AND TO ENSURE ALL 17 PAX WERE IN ONE AREA AWAY FROM THE ACFT. SOON THEREAFTER, CFR CAME WITH THE TRUCKS AND DETERMINED THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED. DURING THE EVAC PROCESS NO ONE WAS INJURED, INCLUDING THE CREW MEMBERS.
