What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) A/c enroute from sea to pdx, crew noticed vibration on #2 engine and smell of smoke in cabin. Crew declared an emergency and landed at pdx. During rollout the #2 engine fire warning came on, fire bottles were emptied into the engine and the crew and passengers evacuated the plane. During post event inspection it was noted that the #5 bearing had failed and caused a fire in the bearing breather cavity that eventually caused the failure of an external breather line allowing the fire to enter the engine nacell. Damage was limited to the nacell.
