For the Chapter!: Each time a model in this unit is destroyed,
roll one D6: on a 3+, do not remove it from play. The destroyed
model can shoot after the attacking model’s unit has finished
making its attacks, and is then removed from play. When
resolving these attacks, any Hazardous tests taken for that
attack are automatically passed.

If a model in the unit with this ability is destroyed in the fight phase while in engagement range is it able to shoot with its Plasma incinerator or would it have to fire with it's pistols?

Since there are no specific exceptions mentioned, it would need to follow all the normal rules for shooting, so no shooting in Engagement Range except with pistols, i'd say.

Rules Commentary wrote:Shoot on Death: Some rules enable a model to shoot after it has
been destroyed, before being removed from play. A model under the effect of more than one ‘shoot-on-death’ rule can only shoot once after it has been destroyed, regardless of how many such rules may apply to it. Shoot-on-death rules are always resolved before any other rules that are triggered when a model is destroyed (e.g. Deadly Demise). When making attacks due to a shoot-on-death rule, the destroyed model’s unit always counts as having made a Normal move that turn and, unless otherwise stated, the destroyed model counts as having 1 wound remaining. Shoot-on-death rules are also out-of-phase rules (see Out-of-phase Rules).

You must follow the rules for shooting, which means you are not eligible to fire if within Engagement Range of an enemy units (except Monsters, Vehicles, and Pistols).
