Atlanta Fire Department Capt. Jolyon Bundrige said 49 passengers were evacuated from Flight 2284 after a troublesome landing around 4:15 p.m. Saturday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. He said none of the injured needed to be taken to a hospital.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the flight from Pittsburgh blew at least one tire as it landed, resulting in the fire. Passengers were evacuated from the MD-88 using the plane's rear stairs.
Fire crews used a foam spray to extinguish a blaze in the plane's right engine.
Delta did not return a call seeking comment.
