DURING AN ATTEMPT TO PERFORM A MAINTENANCE RUN ON THE NR 2 ENGINE, THE ENGINE BECAME FLOODED AND BACKFIRED, RESULTING IN A MINOR COWLING FIRE.  THE TECHNICIAN THEN PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY SHUT DOWN, AND PULLED THE T-HANDLE FOR THE NR 2 ENGINE, FOLLOWED BY THE ACTIVATION OF THE NR 2 ENGINE FIRE BOTTLE.  THE SUPPORTING GROUND 'FIRE GUARD', THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH THE ACTIVATION OF AN ADDITIONAL GROUND STAND BY FIRE BOTTLE TO ASSURE THE EXTINGUISHING OF THE FIRE.
