Narrative:

I heard a strange noise from [the right] engine; then it went silent. The captain then called to inform us that they indicated a fire in right engine; to prepare for an emergency landing and that we had 10 to 15 minutes. The lead flight attendant then started the preparation for emergency PA. We got to the demo of the brace position when the captain told us to take our seats immediately. We then landed and fire department came and saw we had no fire. We then taxied to gate and all were safe.
