Narrative: Started all engines 3; 1; 2 with normal start and normal start parameters. Ran after start checklist and received clearance from Ramp Control to taxi to spot which was a 180 degree turn from present position. Contacted ground and received taxi instructions to runway. Approaching spot and prior to [first taxiway] received LVL 2 msg ENG 2 OIL PRES LO. Captain informed me to run checklist while bringing aircraft to a stop and to also inform Ground we needed to hold position. By time I pulled out checklist to start procedure while also noting Number 2 oil pressure gauge going into red; Tower informed crew that aircraft behind our aircraft reported flames from rear of aircraft. Tower came right back and informed crew that flames were coming forward of rear area of aircraft and that we needed to immediately evacuate aircraft. Captain shutdown engine; informed me to pull number 2 fire handle; and to discharge fire bottle into number 2 engine. I pulled out evacuation checklist and started to run checklist before we evacuated the cockpit; the Captain informed the one jump-seater that we had to evacuate aircraft via the slide. Completed aircraft evacuation checklist and exited cockpit and aircraft.


Second narrative: After a normal engine start and a short taxi; the crew received a Level 2 'ENG 2 OIL PRES LO' message on the engine alert display. The oil pressure was reading approximately 2 PSI boxed in red on the secondary engine data on the system display. The Level 2 for ENG 2 OIL PRES LO checklist was called for as we were stopping our taxi. During the beginning of the QRH; the Tower notified us that an aircraft (parked behind us) reported that our number 2 engine was on fire. Within seconds of that radio call; the ground/tower reported that our top engine is on fire and was proceeding forward and we needed to evacuate the aircraft immediately. We accomplished the memory item to shut down the engine; then pull the fire handle and discharged an extinguisher. Jumpseater was notified to prepare for an impending evacuation of the aircraft. The crew notified ground/tower to roll the equipment for fire coverage. The Captain needed to transmit this request a few times over the radio because transmissions were bleeding over and were not clearly transmitted. The Evacuation checklist was completed. The aircraft slide was deployed and all occupants evacuated the aircraft. Fire coverage was surrounding the aircraft and sprayed water into the number 2 engine. The Captain injured his right elbow when striking the concrete after being tossed off the emergency escape slide at the bottom. The Captain was later evaluated at a local hospital and released.
