## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) DURING PUSH BACK OF FLIGHT #7643 AT APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET FROM GATE, THE PUSH BACK TUG CAUGHT FIRE WHILE STILL CONNECTED TO THE AIRCRAFT. CAUSE OF FIRE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH TUG. THE CABIN CREW DEPLOYED THE SLIDES AND EVACUATED THE 70 PAX. THREE (3) PERSONS REPORTED MINOR INJURIES AND DECLINED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. THIS INSPECTOR COMPLETED A RAMP INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT AND FOUND NO VISUAL DAMAGE. SLIDE INFO L1 MODEL 4A032-2 S/N ED0204 DOM 10/04, R1 MODEL 4A032-2 S/N ED0205 DOM 10/04, L2 MODEL 4A4011-2 S/N EA0200 DOM 10/04, R2 MODEL 4A4011-2 S/N EA0198 DOM 10/04. THIS CARRIER HAS A 36 MONTH REQUIRED RECONDITION TASK. ALL SLIDES WERE WITHIN THE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. ALL SLIDES PERFORMED AS REQUIRED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
