Narrative:
On takeoff roll from runway 32L T10, the #2 engine failed at approximately 120 KTS. I was the PF. The captain aborted the takeoff. I called tower and gave them our position and reported our abort. I then made a PA announcement after conferring with the captain telling the people to remain seated 3 times. I shut down the engine using the engine failure ECAM. The egt remained in excess of 700 degrees C. We then received a message over tower frequency that the #2 engine was on fire. I then discharged the second fire bottle. The egt then went down. I opened my window and verified the fire was out. We started the APU and shut down the #1 engine. We were then towed to the gate.
