Narrative:Aircraft caught fire shortly after takeoff. It was determined that the fire was caused by a hydraulic leak on the APU Start Module which sprayed atomized hydraulic fluid into the cooling intake of the #2 Generator. The aircraft landed on the over run of Runway 08 and almost burned to the ground before CFR (Crash Fire Rescue) could put out the fire.
