A fire forced the emergency evacuation of an Air Canada Dash 8 aircraft in the area of Jean Lesage airport this afternoon in Quebec City.
The twin-engine turboprop propeller was arriving from Gaspe on its way to Montreal with a stop in the provincial capital.
But on approach to Quebec, a fire was reported on board.
The aircraft landed away from the airport, its passengers and crew rushed out.
The fire was quickly extinguished, no one was injured.

Smoke - no fire. Still pretty serious though.
Well handled by the crew.

Incident: Jazz DH8A at Quebec on Jan 4th 2013, smoke on board

A Jazz de Havilland Dash 8-100, registration C-GJSV performing flight QK-8721 from Gaspe,QC to Quebec,QC (Canada) with 19 people on board, was on final approach about 10nm before touchdown in Quebec, when the crew donned their oxygen masks and declared emergency reporting smoke in the cockpit. Cabin crew informed the flight deck that there was intensifying smoke in the cabin as well, passengers were breathing through articles of clothing. The crew continued for a safe landing on runway 24, vacated the runway onto taxiway A and stopped, the occupants rapidly disembarked onto the taxiway. No injuries occurred.
The Canadian TSB reported that maintenance identified oil had entered the environment control system and produced haze due to a leaking seal at the right hand engine (PW120A). The engine was replaced following a borescopic inspection.
Well handled by the crew.
