Maintenance crews will inspect a Southwest Airlines jet that made an emergency landing at Oakland International Airport when the pilot received warning of an engine fire.
Southwest Airlines spokesman Brad Hawkins said the Los Angeles-bound flight landed safely in Oakland minutes after taking off from San Francisco International Airport around 9 p.m. Friday.
As the plane was ascending, a warning siren indicated there was a fire in one of the plane's engines. Hawkins said the pilot shut the engine down and diverted to Oakland.
