Apollo - are you refering to the incident back in 1998 when a Glasgow bound 757 made a precautionary landing at Goose Bay because of engine troube? If I remember correctly there was no fire and I don't think the engine was even shut down. Could be a different incident though.
However, in 1998 there was an uncontained failure on a Royal 727 during a takeoff roll.
