Unfallbericht:The gaseous oxygen bottles for the quick-don oxygen masks in the cockpit, said bottles being accessed from the lower fuselage of the aircraft exterior, were being serviced by a ground maintenance crew when the O2 manifold overheating caused an ignition. A fire in this area of the fuselage subsequently broke out and could not be contained before extensive damage to the airframe occurred.
