Narrative:
Shortly after takeoff and beginning climb; we experienced recurring and erratic multiple compressor stalls in the number 2 engine. A flight attendant called the cockpit with the emergency signal and relayed that fire was visible from the number 2 engine. We contacted the tower controller; climbed to a safe altitude below a high overcast while turning and flying the engine out procedure as briefed. We performed checklists; contacted flight attendants; ops and dispatch and made a PA to passengers. We returned for an uneventful; normal landing. We stopped on centerline and requested the ground rescue crew to inspect the aircraft. Following their negative report; we taxied to the gate with rescue vehicle following and monitoring. Parking; shutdown; deplaning passengers and post flight were normal.
