## Discrepancy

PGV - FLT 1077 - AT FL 350 EN ROUTE TO JAX FROM LGA, THE FORWARD GALLEY OVEN CAUGHT FIRE.  THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT USED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PUT OUT THE FIRE.  THIRTY MINUTES LATER THE FIRE RESTARTED AND SMOKE ENTERED THE COCKPIT.  CAPTAIN DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND FLIGHT ATTENDANT EXTINGUISHED FIRE AGAIN.  FLIGHT DIVERTED TO PGV AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE OVEN FAN MOTOR WAS BURNED OUT.  REPLACED THE OVEN AND INSPECTED THE AREA.  NO FURTHER DAMAGE WAS FOUND.  (M)
