From what I heard, something caught on fire, and there was smoke. Foam was applied.

A14W0115: The First Air Aerospatiale ATR-72-212, C-GRMZ, was operating as flight FAB124 from Yellowknife, NT (CYZF) to Hay River, NT (CYHY). While holding short of Runway 16 in CYZF, smoke was detected in the cockpit. The flight crew shutdown the engines and carried out the emergency evacuation check list. ATS was notified of the emergency and ARFF was dispatched. The passengers were gathered on the infield and transported to the terminal. There were no injuries. Subsequent inspection by company maintenance found that the left hand ground cooling fan had failed.
