NARRATIVE: IN CRUISE AT FL 350 JUST BEFORE TOP OF DESCENT AT 0055Z THE #2 ENGINE GEN. OPEN LIGHT AND CSD LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CSD OIL TEMPERATURE BY NOW WAS OVER 150 DEGREES C AND THE KW WAS -20KW. THE FEO WAS UNABLE TO DISCONNECT THE CSD. PMG INDICATIONS WERE 8000 RPM AND 25 VOLTS. THE CAPTAIN NOTICED THAT WE HAD A LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ON #2 ENGINE. THE OIL PRESSURE WAS FLUCTUATING BETWEEN 35-40 PSI,. AT 0100Z THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND THE APPROACH WAS CONTINUED. THE DESCENT CHECKLIST WAS COMPLETED. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE #2 ENGINE NACELLE TEMP'S WERE OVER 9. BOTH A AND B FIRE LOOPS AND FIRE DETECT LIGHT WERE ON, MOMENTS LATER THE FIRE BELL SOUNDED. THE ENGINE FIRE, SEVERE DAMAGE/SEPARATION CHECKLIST WAS USED AND THE FIRE BOTTLES WERE DISCHARGED. UPON LANDING AT JFK, THE CFR RESPONDED. A FIRE WAS STILL OBSERVED AND WAS EXTINGUISHED. THE PAX WERE DEPLANED ON THE TAXIWAY AND BUSSED TO THE TERMINAL. UPON MAINTENANCE INVESTIGATION, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE ENGINE ANGLE GEAR BOX HAD BURNT. WHEN THE AGB WAS REMOVED FROM THE ENGINE, IT WAS OBSERVED, DUE TO THE CSD NOT DISCONNECTION THAT THE GENERATOR SHAFT BROKE AT THE WRONG POINT AND CAUSED THE FIRE. THE CSD AND GENERATOR WERE SENT BY THE NTSB TO BE INSPECTED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE OEM'S. THIS INVESTIGATION IS IN PROGRESS.

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.
