Narrative:
5 mins after takeoff, the captain called with chimes. The captain said we had a possible engine fire and would return to mia. He advised us that he would use 'evacuate/evacuation' if we needed to evacuate/evacuation. The purser made a PA to passenger that we would be returning to mia. We landed at mia and did not have to evacuate/evacuation. The captain made a PA that fire trucks would be surrounding our airplane to check the aircraft before returning to the gate. The aircraft returned to gate, the passenger deplaned, and were directed to another gate for boarding a B727 to gua.
