Hello, long time away, I was in India. Have story outline but am stuck on tech details (as usual). Please, can some kind knowledgeable person advise where I can see the emergency engine shutdown procedutre and checklist for 737 800? Think this might be OBH drill but not sure. Also, if plane on fire and passengers are EV ing, would pilot/s help or would they just clear off quick like?

Also, this checklist takes you through the shutdown of the engine. There's another for the approach and landing. If you want the whole thing, or the fire, severe damage, or separation checklist, let me know.
BTW...at most airlines the Captain stays on the airplane and makes sure everyone gets off. The first officer is one of the first down the slide and he assists with the evacuation not he ground, collecting the people, directing them to a safe assembly point where they will be together yet out of the way of the emergency equipment, etc.
Here's a 737 checklist from earlier in my career (my current carrier doesn't allow the sharing of checklists and such, but a Boeing is a Boeing and they're very similar. I suspect if I were to get my dad's checklist from the 737 from 40 years ago it would be about the same):
Engine Failure or Shutdown
One of these occurs:
• An engine failure
• An ENG FAIL alert shows
• An engine flameout
• Another checklist directs to an engine
shutdown.
Note: If severe damage is suspected:
Go to the ENGINE FIRE OR ENGINE SEVERE
DAMAGE OR SEPARATION checklist
1 Do an engine shutdown only when flight conditions allow.
2 Autothrottle (if engaged) ............................................ Disengage
3 Thrust lever
(affected engine) .......................................... Close
4 If conditions allow:
Run the engine for three minutes at idle thrust.
CAUTION: If engine does not operate normally at idle, or oil
pressure is at or below red line, shutdown engine
immediately.
5 Engine start lever
(affected engine) ........................................ CUTOFF
6 If APU bleed air is required for aircraft pressurization, do not
turn the left pack switch OFF.
7 PACK switch (affected side) ................................................ OFF
8 If APU is available for start:
APU ..................................................................... START
When APU is running:
APU GEN switch (affected side) .................................ON
9 Balance fuel as needed.
10 If wing anti–ice is needed:
ISOLATION VALVE switch ............................................... AUTO
11 Plan to land at the nearest suitable airport.
12 Choose one:
If Considering a restart of the engine:
Go to the ENGINE START - INFLIGHT
checklist.
If not considering a restart of the engine:
Go to the ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE
LANDING checklist.

Condition: One or more of these occur:
• Engine fire warning
• Airframe vibrations and/or abnormal engine
indications
• Engine separation.
1 Autothrottle (if engaged) ............................................ Disengage
2 Thrust lever
(affected engine) ................................................. Close
3 Engine start lever
(affected engine) ........................................ CUTOFF
4 Engine fire switch
(affected engine) .................................................. Pull
To manually unlock the engine fire switch, press the override
and pull.
5 If the engine fire switch or ENG OVERHEAT light stays
illuminated:
Engine fire switch ..................................... Rotate to the stop
and hold for 1 second
If after 30 seconds the engine fire switch or ENG
OVERHEAT light stays illuminated:
Engine fire switch ..................... Rotate to the other stop
and hold for 1 second
6 In flight: Go to step 7
On the ground:
If Engine fire switch extinguishes:
END
If Engine fire switch stays illuminated:
Go to the EVACUATION checklist
END
7 If high airframe vibration occurs and continues after the engine
is shut down:
Reduce airspeed and descend to a safe
altitude which results in an acceptable vibration level.
If high vibration returns and further airspeed reduction and
descent are not practicable, increasing airspeed may
reduce vibration.
8 ISOLATION VALVE switch ............................................. CLOSE
9 If APU bleed air is required for aircraft pressurization, do not
close the APU bleed valve or turn the left pack switch OFF and go to step 12,
otherwise:
10 PACK switch (affected side)................................................ OFF
11 APU BLEED air switch ........................................................ OFF
12 If APU is available for start:
APU ..................................................................... START
When APU is running:
APU GEN switch (affected side) ........................ ON
Then go to step 13
If APU is not available:
13 Balance fuel as needed.
14 If wing anti–ice is needed:
ISOLATION VALVE switch (after fire has been
extinguished) ........................................................ AUTO
15 Plan to land at the nearest suitable airport.
Go to the ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE
LANDING checklist.

Thank you so much for these lists, Mr Snydersnapshots, that is extremely kind of you and I am excited by having such authentic material for my story. I will advise when I post it on this site. I may have other questions arise as I write it. I think the abnormal eng indication list is the most promising. Thank you so much.

I've never heard the term either. The OP lists the UK as their home and while the overwhelming majority of my flying time has been in the US, I did fly with the RAF for several years and never heard the term there.Parlour Talker Extraordinaire
