A Spirit Airlines plane that landed Sunday morning from Tampa, Fla. at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport caught fire on the runway, the airline confirmed.
Atlanta Fire Rescue extinguished the fire after brakes in the landing gear ignited at 9:25 a.m., the airport said in a expression to ABC News. There were no reported injuries.
“Spirit Flight 383 from Tampa to Atlanta landed safely at Atlanta International Airport and upon landing one of the brakes overheated,” Spirit said in a statement Sunday. “The aircraft was towed to the gate where the guests disembarked safely and without injury. Thank you to Atlanta First Responders for collecting the plane immediately. The aircraft will be temporarily taken out of service for maintenance.”

Last month, three people were injured when a Red Air plane caught fire and caught fire on landing at Miami International Airport.
The plane’s landing gear also caught fire upon landing, the Federal Aviation Administration told ABC News in a statement.
