An alert was declared and the passengers and crew used the emergency slides to evacuate the aircraft. The Hellenic Fire Service quickly extinguished the fire and no injuries have been reported. Another report suggests that the engine fire broke out during the landing phase and that crash-rescue vehicles awaited the arrival of the aircraft.
