An Atlantic Southeast Airlines Canadair CRJ-200 on behalf of Delta Airlines, registration N830AS performing flight EV-5563/DL-5563 from Tallahassee,FL to Atlanta,GA (USA), was being prepared for departure at gate B3 in Tallahassee with the crew on board and the passenger luggage already loaded. The 47 passengers were still awaiting boarding, the crew working a checklist, when the flight crew noticed heat behind them and saw smoke coming from the wall between cockpit and galley. Emergency services responded to the emergency call and were able to quickly extinguish the fire. No injuries occured.
The damage to the cockpit is described substantial. Fire fighters said, that the pilot seats received most of the heat. The cause of the fire could not yet be determined.
The flight had to be cancelled, the passengers were rebooked onto other flights during the day.
The NTSB has dispatched investigators, the FAA has been notified as well.
The FAA reported, that the fire in the cockpit caused substantial damage to the aircraft.
