False alarm at PG Airport

UPDATE:

What was originally thought to be a fire on an incoming plane has been deemed a false alarm.

“The aircraft landed safely, all 20 passengers were evacuated with no injuries. It was deemed to be a mechanical issue and an issue with a sensor on the plane. No actual fire on board,” explained Staff Sergeant Todd Cruch.

“It was more of a non-event at the end of the day.”

The Central Mountain Air aircraft had to declare an emergency landing as a result.

ORIGINAL:

Emergency personnel are on scene at the Prince George airport.

One listener told My PG Now they saw at least four fire trucks and six police cars heading to the airport.
