Passengers were seen evacuating onto the left wing of the aircraft, a rare event in commercial aviation... Aviation Expert Greg Feith said only half of the plane’s eight exits were usable due to the fire and the aircraft’s position at the gate.

Proximate cause: Failure of the pilot to evacuate on the runway at wheel-stop.

I can't wait to find out why he/she was prompted to roll to the gate while under confirmed fire emergency.

Alright. It seems the early report by CBS (below) that I saw was egregiously in error.

The plane was diverted due to engine vibration, not fire, landed without incident and taxied before smoke then fire.
