Not a whole lot of the actual issue, but everything seemed just fine coming in and after landing, but something let loose as they got to the gate.

An American Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration N885NN performing flight AA-1006 from Colorado Springs,CO to Dallas Ft. Worth,TX (USA) with 172 passengers and 6 crew, was climbing out of Colorado Springs, when the crew stopped the climb at about 16000 feet reporting right hand engine (CFM56) vibrations and decided to divert to Denver,CO (USA), where the aircraft landed safely on runway 16R. The aircraft taxied to the apron. At the gate the right hand engine caught fire prompting an emergency evacuation via slides. The fire was put out by emergency services. No injuries are being reported.
