Narrative:

We departed guayaquil, ecuador, at XB00Z bound for miami, fl, pushed back at XA40 taxi to runway 21 for maximum power/no packs takeoff. At XB00 the crew had position the aircraft onto runway 21 for takeoff. All checklists were completed and the captain/flight engineer were making the engine run-up just prior to takeoff. After brakes were released, the first officer took control of aircraft for takeoff (as previously briefed). Aircraft accelerated normally to takeoff speed, took off as planned, then at 400 ft while the gear was retracting the crew felt a vibration followed by yaw to the left and 2 loud explosions. All indications pointed to an engine failure, but we got the fire bell and all lights in the cockpit shortly after that indicating that an engine fire had occurred. Then we followed the company procedure and took the airplane to an altitude of 817 ft AGL and commenced the engine fire checklist at the same time the captain declared the emergency and informed the control tower that nature of the emergency. The fire trucks were called out to the runway and remained on standby. After the engine fire checklist was completed the captain commanded the flight engineer to begin dumping fuel. At that point it was also discovered that the #1 hydraulic had been lost. The hydraulic checklist was then initiated. Inboard flaps and gear had to be alternately extended. The first officer, on the captain's command, was positioning the aircraft on final approach to land at XB00Z. We landed safely in guayaquil airport with no injuries or fatalities to any occupants or crew members, then captain instructed the flight engineer to commence the evacuate/evacuation checklist. The 7 occupants including 3 crew members were evacuate/evacuationed while the fire department took control of the aircraft. The tower asked the crew to taxi off the active runway, but we were unable since there was not any nose gear steering. 30 mins after landing, the aircraft was removed from runway by a tow mover under the supervision of a line mechanic. When the aircraft parked at the gate, the crew boarded the aircraft and began to enter items in the aircraft maintenance book and complete all the appropriate paperwork. Since the flight had been terminated the secure cockpit checklist was completed.
