A Delta Connection Bombardier CRJ-200 caught fire while the crew was preparing the aircraft for takeoff in Tallahassee, Florida on Saturday.  The incident, on Flight 5563 to Atlanta, happened about 30 minutes before takeoff and no one was hurt.  No passengers had boarded the 48 passenger aircraft at Tallahassee Regional Airport, but bags were already on board and crewmembers on board were running pre-flight checklists.

As the crew ran the checklist, the pilot noticed smoke coming out of an area between the pilot’s seat and the galley.  The pilot and a flight attendant, the only ones on board at the time, evacuated the plane and firefighters arrived quickly to extinguish the flames.  According to firefighters at the scene, the fire was at its strongest behind the pilot’s seat.  The fire left a 6 by 18 inch hole in the airplane.

The National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the incident and have not released any information yet.  In a press conference, however, a firefighter said he believed the fire was in an electrical area.  Of course, firefighters aren’t aircraft accident investigators so we’ll have to wait and see what the NTSB says about this.

The ground power supplied to the airplane shorted out, and started a fire behind the captain. There's an O2 mask for the jumpseater, and the O2 lines that supply it run behind the captain as well. When the fire burnt through the line, it got pretty toasty! It was an ASA CR2 in Tallahassee; the Capt. and the FA were the only one on board and they escaped. FO was doing the walkaround. A/C had ground power issues before - the plane didn't want to take it - and apparently the ground crew was trying to force the power to stay on the plane.

Question...What's more fun than slow dancing with Dolly Parton?


Answer...Nothing.

In keeping with the intent of the forum in general...ummm...Radio Control jets are almost as fun.

This is one of the reasons because I love RC Jets.

Any issue with my jet in the air or at the ground, even a crash, I am always safe.....

I received those sae pics about two months ago and was told it was a lightning strike. Doesn't look like a n inside out burn mark, if it was, there must have been one helluva wind
blowing on the ground that day. Look at the burn pattern flowing toward the rear of the aircraft.[:-]

That's no lightning strike.

It's definatly an O2 fed fire. There could have been a wind that morning, but have you ever seen an O2 fire before?...............thought not.

I fully intended to see something else when I logged on to this thread... lol.. nm.

those are pretty real, once I saw a whole MD81 aircraft burn almost to the ground due to an electrical problem, well, I dont know if the CRJ 200 has circuit breaker panels behind the captain's seat, which is pretty normal to be there and looks like an electrical problem dont think it was an O2 fire, because it would have spread a lot faster and bigger, also because O2 bottles are kept on a safe place, "more fire proof" and the O2 has emergency shutoff valves, also they only activate or open to O2 flow when a cable attached to the mask is pulled to prevent them of being an fire or ignition source as per FAR25 they need to be on a safe place. A report states that the cause of the fire is yet unknown, but if the A/C was having problems recieving ground power, what they call "the change of bars" it is more likely to be electrical short that caused it. Good only crew was on board and reacted fast.

This is why when a CB is popped you don't try to hold it in place to make it work.

Some real (smart) pilot on a b52 kept holding the fuel pump circuit breaker and it made a nasty mess when it blew up and killed 8 poor crew members.

And Dlach the bottles on planes are in safe spots and yes they have shutoff valves but I know on most of the planes I work on you open them up before flight. When your over 45 thousand feet and the plane looses pressurization you only have seconds to get a mask on or you are going to sleep. Just like the Pain Stewart crash.

Don't be a jackass - try opening your mind to other things. I'm just telling you there is no way that is a lighting strike - it's not.

O2 fed fire when it burned through the supply line. The bottles are always left open except for maintenance, and the ones in the pass cabin are seperate O2 generators (on larger aircraft) the crew still uses a seperate bottle. It's totally seperate from passenger supply. The only ones that have bottles are smaller commuter planes and corperate jets - and even some of them have seperate crew bottles.

I have witnessed an O2 fire - it's just like a blowtorch when it gets going. The aftermath was not pretty.

Never said it was a lightning strike, just what I was told. I will be that one jackass for writing on here, but not again. You my friend need a little "Attitudeinal adjustment". Relax and enjoy our hobby without the verbal assault. Hiding behind a keyboard and screen is not very manly. Take care and hope to see ou at Kentucky Jets, I'll be there - will you?
