Analysis
According to the plt, the gear warning horn circuit breaker was pulled en route to stop the horn from sounding while the pwr was at a low setting because of turbulence. The circuit breaker was not reset prior to landing. During the apch,the plt lowered the flaps; however, he did not lower the landing gear. The acft landed half way down rwy 33R in a normal landing attitude with the gear not extended. Fire from below the fuselage became visible and engulfed the cockpit area.
