Passengers aboard a Pacific Coastal Airlines flight had a scare Tuesday as flames erupted from one of the plane's engines.
The plane arrived at Trail Regional Airport in the late afternoon after a 75-minute flight from Vancouver.
Passenger Doug Stoddart said he thinks the fire broke out in the right-side engine after landing, because nobody at the back of the plane seemed to notice it.
Stoddart, who informed the pilot of the fire, said the engine was engulfed in flames and smoke rose over the plane.
Crews quickly contained the fire with foam retardant. Stod-dart says passengers were moved away from the plane in an orderly fashion.
A company spokesman was not available for comment.
