Another evacuation with luggage

Oh no -

One passenger noticed the fire and panicked, opening the emergency door while screaming to other travellers.

Evacuation not commanded by the crew.
 
Tailpipe fire. Spectacular, but no big deal. Occasionally happens if the engine is reluctant to start, when a bit of pooled fuel flashes off. Just motor the engine, and it will go out/away.

And if you're going to have an uncommanded evacuation, going out on to the wing over the fire is real Darwin stuff.
