What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: flt. #749 departed dfw international at approx. 0921(l). About 40 n.m. out of dfw the crew got an indication (in the cockpit) of an engine fire in no. 1 engine. The captain declared an emergency and returned to dfw, landed on runway 31RT, exited the runway on taxiway R-1. When just off of the active runway on this taxiway an emer. Evacuation was directed by the captain. Reason: because a fire in no. 1 engine was still being indicated in the cockpit; (after discharging both C02 bottles to this eng.) & the crew was told there was some smoke coming from this engine. The exits used in the evacuation were L-1 all 4 overwing exits, and R-2. L-2 was not used due to proximity of no. 1 eng. R-1 was not used because the slide on this exit failed to inflate / extend fully. The estimated total time involved in this evacuation was approx. 2 minutes (as reported by fire dept. Personnel). The minor injuries that occurred during this evacuation were: two passengers treated at scene for minor injury; one ankle and one wrist. Both passengers joined rest of passengers on bus. No one was taken to a hospital. One flight attendant was treated for a scratch/cut on the back of her left hand. This incident is closed.
