A UPS United Parcel Service Boeing 747-400, registration N581UP performing flight 5X-6099 from Anchorage,AK to Louisville,KY (USA), was climbing out of Anchorage's runway 15 when the crew stopped the climb at about 7500 feet reporting a #2 engine (CF6, inboard left hand) fire and shut the engine down. The crew subsequently reported the fire was out, dumped fuel and landed safely back on Anchorage's runway 15 about 65 minutes after departure.
The aircraft remained on the ground in Anchorage for about 17 hours before returning to service.
