never mind, I see now that it was Tuesday night incident. The one this morning probably had nothing serious.

According to another forum, after landing it was discovered that the electrical fault had caused a short circuit and fire in the wheel well area.

A Westjet Encore de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration C-GWEP performing flight WS-3240 from Terrace,BC to Calgary,AB (Canada) with 31 people on board, was enroute at FL250 about 110nm northwest of Calgary when the crew received caution messages related to various electrical systems. The crew worked the according checklists, consulted with company maintenance and continued the flight to Calgary, where the aircraft landed safely about 30 minutes later.

The Canadian TSB reported maintenance found evidence of fire in the right hand wheel well. Damage was found on the AC contactor box, surrounding structure and the right hand main gear leg. Two investigators were dispatched to Calgary.
