FDX-Cargo Fire KCEG
#1
#8
Just talked to Person in the know on this flight. Oil from APU was getting into air system and caused smoke in lower cargo comp. flashing discharge button pushed 90 miles out. Hauled A$$ back all the way to landing with fire light on the whole way. Checklist calls for evac after landing if light still on but as they cleared the runway, light went out. After 3 hrs on ground sched wanted them to take the same plane, with 7 MEL's including lower cargo fire det system. In the end They "crew" said no thanks....we'll take a hotel. Looks like they did a great job in a tense situation.
