chute on the left side of the plane where the left engine was on fire, again, this is speculation, they could have sustained burns that way. but we don't know, you know, exactly where those burns were sustained. but that will be determined with the due process of the investigation. >> the ft. lauderdale airport is obviously a very busy, very important airport. what's the status of the runways there? >> well, i'd have to defer to my counterpart the spokesman for the airport broward county aviation department. they handle the airport operations. obviously when the incident was ongoing we had our fire rescue resources committed to this incident. and the airport was shut down. and they have since announced that i believe they're reopening portions or more than that, but again, that's a question for broward county aviation. i really can't officially comment on that. i'm just relaying what they said at the last update that they provided to the media. >> one final question, mike,

before i let you go. how long did it take to put out the fire? >> we received the call at 12:34. and the fire was knocked down, it was out by 12:38. we had a response of two minutes. so we were on the scene within two minutes. so within two minutes our crash fire rescue trucks deployed foam and quickly put out that fire. >> it's a pretty unusual event to have a fire like that on the runway, isn't it? >> this is the first one that i can recall. however, i've been involved in training and our firefighters go through training extensively on aircraft fires whether it's engine fires, brake fires, wheel fires, galley fires, it's something that, you know, you have to be proficient in. and, you know, we have a complement of resources there along with technical rescue and hazardous materials teams. so we had a commendable response in a very short amount of time. >> mike, thanks very much for

joining us. mike with the broward county fire and rescue squad. let's get some more now with our aviation analyst miles o'brien is joining us, the former managing director of the national transportation safety board joining us. miles, the pilot in the plane that was taxiing behind this 767 saw this fuel leaking, radioed in and then within a few minutes we saw what happened. how unusual is this? >> it's relatively unusual, but engines do fail. you know, what the sequence of events is is very important. that's what investigators will be looking at. did it begin with a fuel leak? and did that lead to the fire? or did the engine disintegrate in some fashion, sever the line causing a fuel leak or was it a leak of oil? if it was oil leaking that could cause the engine failing and thus the fire. it's a rapid sequence of events probably occurred with the engine being started. >> the pilot noticed something was wrong because he radioed in as well that they've got a fire, they've got some leaks, right? >> they might have seen
