Factual narrative
THE PILOT STATED THAT WHILE AT CRUISE AT 4000 FEET THAT THERE WAS A SHARP JOLT IN THE AIRFRAME AND ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION DISCOVERED THAT THE LEFT ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. THE PROPELLER STOPPED TURNING SHORTLY THEREAFTER. IMMEDIATELY THE PILOT PULLED THE FIREWALL SHUTOFF VALVE AND COMPLETED THE EMERGENCY CHECKLIST. THE FLIGHT CONTINUED TO ITS INTENDED DESTINATION AND LANDED UNEVENFULLY. GROUND EXAMINATION OF THE AIRCRAFT REVEALED THAT THE ENGINE FORWARD BANK MASTER ROD HAD FAILED.
