## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: PRIOR TO BLOCK OUT FROM GATE, AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A PROPELLER BRAKE FIRE ON #2 ENGINE. CREW USED AIRCRAFT FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT FIRE. PILOT CALLED FOR EMERGENCY EVACUATION OF 17 PASSENGERS. PASSENGERS AND CREW EVACUATED THE AIRCRAFT SATISFACTORILY WITH NO INJURIES. THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
