On April 18, 2018, at about 1809 eastern daylight time, a Delta Air Lines Airbus A330-300, N806NW, equipped with two Pratt & Whitney PW4168A-1D engines, experienced a No. 2 engine fire during initial climb from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), Atlanta, Georgia.
The flight crew reported a No. 2 engine fire electronic centralized aircraft monitor (ECAM) indication at about 500 feet AGL, declared an emergency, shutdown the No. 2 engine, discharged both fire bottles, and initiated an air turn back to KATL.
During the return to ATL, the fire warning indication cleared, and the airplane made an uneventful overweight single engine landing.
After the aircraft landed, airport rescue firefighting (ARFF) crews met the plane on the runway, quickly covering the engine - and runway - in fire retardant foam.
The airplane was ultimately towed to the gate and the passengers disembarked. There were no injuries to passengers or crew and the airplane sustained substantial damage.
The flight was being operated in accordance with 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 and was a regularly scheduled flight from KATL to London Heathrow International Airport (EGLL), London, England.
Of note: The audio between 6:25 - 6:59 captures an air traffic controller flipping out. That is somewhat noteworthy on its own, but what I actually want to point out is that the controller loses his cool and then almost immediately provides an incorrect instruction.
[The audio in this piece is obviously not in sync with the video. In a few cases it may not even be in sync with itself. For whatever reason, ATL's recordings duplicated many sections of recorded audio within as well as between files. It took a lot to bring both the video (which had its own issues) and the audio to where they are now. C'est la vie. Enjoy.]

I agree. I was surprised to see this land without fire trucks at the edge of the runway. Not like the story my mom shared with me when I was a kid about a fire truck escort upon landing in Braniff's days. And not like the movies.

Not the way it works in real life. Too much danger of an accident if they are too close. In movies where it is scripted the plane flies over the trucks waiting at the end of the runway then the chase them down arriving just as the plane stops. In reality, like the SUX DC-10 crash planes don't always stay on the runway. Had the FR trucks been waiting anywhere near the runway they would have been part of the accident and unable to help. Better to arrive a few seconds later than not at all

Efoxx, exactly. A lot of people, even firefighters don't understand ARFF (Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting). You don't move your rig until the control tower TELLS you to. There are all kinds of FAA regulations, you absolutely don't freelance.

@@ffjsb Those guys know what to do, and it is correct, things must be said, they cannot assume they can roll down an active runway or taxiway, they have to have ATCT clearance. I know the controller was getting ticked off, and firefighters understand that well, but they have procedures, while people were talking on the radio, there were other crewmembers already putting the wet stuff on the red stuff (yes, I know, AFFF, not plain water). The one responder said something along the lines of, “just to make it official, 27R is closed.” That must be said to make it official and legal (legal in the civil law sense).

Just curious, after they get done putting out the flames with all of that foam that they have to use, with all that that is now on the runway/taxiway, about how long does it normally take for all of to completly evaporate or do they actually do somethng else with it to clear it off of there after everything is all said and done????
@OSUfan757

Andrew Silva there are some different types of chemicals they put in the foam to ‘choke’ the fire so it goes out faster, especially in this case where it could be jet fuel fed. So if you noticed at the end of the video there was a ‘street sweeper’ that was going back and forth on the taxiway picking up the foam.

The ARFF team at Atlanta is run buy the Atlanta fire and rescue department, the fire fighters have more than likely many years experience before moving to to the Airport. I'm sure they would respond to maybe more than 1000 calls a year just at the airport. (first aid, AFAs, MVA, ACFT fuel spills, Hazmat and special service calls

The only lack of professionalism was the rudeness of the male controller talking to the fire service personnel. He gave the impression they were second class and not as important and he could talk down to them. In fact they are the *most* important when the plane is stopped on the runway. He needs to learn that.

It was an Airbus 330. It just took off and was full of fuel. Planes have a landing weight and by y the time they reach the destination they have used enough of the fuel to be with in that weight. So the use of the term heavy is informing all people involved of Potential risk such as structural damage to the aircraft or for the fire to expand rapidly because of the amount of Fuel onboard. If you ever heard of aircraft dumping feul they dump enough to be within a safe landing weight.

Airplanes add a suffix to their callsign of HEAVY or SUPER if they are big or huge to give an indication to others of the wake turbulence. Heavy: 300,000 pounds or more maximum certified takeoff weight, Super: Airbus A-380-800 (A388) and the ANTONOV An-225 (A225)

That controller needed retraining. He shouldn’t be saying what he said about “I don’t care who you are. Get on the runway and put out the fire.” He should be used to directing aircraft all day, every day. Directing ground traffic is the same. Whether it’s ARFF 1, Car 3, Ops 2, whatever. Those trucks can’t move onto runways, taxiways, etc. until he identifies them by call sign and authorizes their movement. He became overwhelmed and needs remedial training.

ATL ARFF is a joke. Took them a ridiculously long time to get to the aircraft. This is clipped heavily. They were told that engine would ignite when the aircraft stopped, and those idiots sat there and watched it for over a minute before they moved towards it. Dirty secret of ATL - ARFF is run by the city. Instead of the way EVERY other fire dept handles ARFF - by permanently stationing firefighters on the airport, the city of ATL rotates ARFF guys through every six months, pays them less than other fire duties pay, and replaces them about the same time they finally start getting comfortable with the airport. Extremely frustrating at best, dangerous for sure. Could tell you a dozen stories about blown responses by ATL ARFF equipment. The yelling you hear here was deserved, and a culmination of years of issues.
