Fire burned a pax...
From http://www.wyff4.com/news/15645321/detail.html


GSP Manager Larry Holcombe said that the smoke appears to have come from a fire in the cargo hold of the plane. He said one passenger was burned by the fire and was being treated. No other injuries were reported.

Holcombe said that by the time fire crews got on board the plane, the fire was no longer burning.

There were reports from passengers of a possible explosion on the plane, but Holcombe said he could not confirm that report.

Holcombe said that Delta would determine how to get the passengers to their destinations. The plane will remain at GSP until Delta evaluates the damage.

Delta's Web site indicates that Flight 1819 departed Raleigh at 3:16 p.m. and was scheduled to land in Atlanta at 4:07 p.m.
