What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: during taxiing smoke was detected in cabin and cockpit while on delta ramp emergency evacuation of cockpit and cabin. Slides were deployed and emergency equipment was dispatched to the scene. 7 minor injuries treated on the scene by paramedics, no one taken to hospital. The aircraft was directed by ramp control to gate T-4. The cause of the smoke was oil from the air cycle machine dripping onto ducts, and being sucked into the aircraft. The coelescer bags were changed and a duct burn out was completed. This occurred on the left pack. The aircraft had a similar occurrence two days later. At this time the left a/c air cycle machine had seized up and had to be replaced. As of the 28th of March the aircraft is still under investigation to see if any repeats occur.
