Narrative:

Flight cleared for takeoff runway 17, climb to 5000 ft, 220 degree heading. Tower turned flight over to departure, then cleared to 8000 ft. While passing through 1500 ft, heard a muffled explosion, nose attitude decreased and a slight yaw toward the right engine. Determined that the #2 (right) engine had failed. #2 engine was subsequently shut down. An emergency was immediately declared when engine failed. I advised tower that we would be returning. We made a left turn to runway 35. #2 (right) engine showed signs of extreme heat, which were analyzed as engine fire even though the engine was secured. Fire shutdown completed, fire would not extinguish. Flight attendant completed emergency items within the limited time possible and told to expect emergency evacuate/evacuation out main cabin door. Aircraft was landed on runway 35 at mco and stopped off runway on intersection H-4 in front of waiting emergency equipment. Evacuate/evacuation initiated and completed with no injuries to passenger or crew. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the preliminary report of the engine failure was a broken oil pressure line causing bearing failure with resultant catastrophic #2 engine failure. The reporter said engine examination confirms the engine was burning until touchdown even though the fire bottles were used. The reporter stated the final report of the cause of the engine failure is about a month away. The reporter said the engine was a pratt and whitney pwc PW118A turboprop.
