Narrative:

After a VFR approach and landing; we noticed a very slight muffled sound that was virtually indistinguishable from the sound of the nose wheel touching down; with subsequent bumping as if the nose wheel was rolling over centerline lights. The captain thought we had blown a tire. I was not convinced but sensed something different. Almost simultaneously I noticed the left engine egt passing through about 700 degrees as the tower frantically announced that we had fire coming from our airplane. Speed was about 100 KTS at this time. As the captain returned the throttles to idle the engine recovered to near normal indications. I had been preparing in my mind for a possible evacuation if the left fire light illuminated; which it did not. We cleared the runway; stopped and requested fire fighting equipment to respond. We shut the engine down allowing the fire department to ascertain the condition of the engine. We also contacted the flight attendants who were not aware of the situation and advised them to view the left engine for signs of fire. They then reported that everything looked normal. The fire department reported no sign of smoke or fire and recommended taxi to the gate. We then taxied to the alleyway and shutdown for a pre-coordinated tug to pull us into the gate. The engine had peaked at a temperature of 715 degrees. The subtlety of the compressor stall was of note.

Title: A B767-300 flight crew requested CFR support after landing when the Tower reported a visible fire and the left engine EGT momentarily indicated a significant overtemperature. The engine was shut down and no signs of fire or damage were reported by CFR. The crew taxied to the ramp and was then towed into the gate to avoid blast damage from the single engine taxi.
