Narrative:

The airplane was on downwind and partial power was lost to the right engine. I thought it was the fuel pump so we continued to the runway. After turning base; I noticed flames and proceeded to shut down and secure the engine. The fire was out by the time we touched down. An emergency landing was performed and emergency equipment was called to the runway. Nobody was hurt; damage to the plane was minimal and no property was damaged.
