What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) After a normal landing, taxi, and arrival at gate B22 at the Boise airport (boi), delta airlines flight 1240 was in the process of deplaning passengers while the first officer was conducting a post-flight termination walk around. At that time, he noticed a small fire emitting from the #1 wheel outboard hug, which was also discovered by the captain when the brake overheat warning light on the flight deck illuminated. Airport fire personnel were dispatched to the aircraft, but the fire had extinguished itself by that time. No damage was noted to the tires or other areas of the aircraft. Maintenance personnel arrived later to replace the brakes, and subsequently the #1 wheel assembly.
