Narrative:
Near max takeoff gross weight; doing a max performance takeoff; winds light on a dry runway in VMC. At approximately 100 KTS with first officer flying heard a loud bang and aircraft veered left and nose lowered. Took control and rejected aircraft. Analyzing the situation we realized that there was no N1 indication on number 1 engine. We shutdown the engine and then tower and another aircraft said they saw that the engine was on fire. We had no secondary indications in the cockpit; but I decided to discharge a bottle anyway in accordance with the severe damage engine fire checklist and for safety sake. They said the fire appeared to be out. At this point we had the fire trucks rolling and I decided to pull up to clear the runway. (Single runway ops.) at that point after consulting appropriate checklist and with the fire crews approaching we shut down the remaining engines after APU was on line. Called ramp for a tow back to the gate and briefed maintenance. Wrote up event. Called dispatch. Briefed them on the entire scenario. Then maintenance introduced me to an airport official that came on board and wanted a written statement signed by me that we provided. Brief and to the point. Released to crew rest.
