[excerpt] Nose of Delta plane briefly catches fire at SEA Airport SEATAC, Wash. — Remaining passengers aboard a Delta flight that had arrived at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport the night of May 6 were evacuated after a fire started inside the nose of the plane. Delta flight 604 from Cancun arrived to gate A10 around 9:30 p.m. After plugging into electric power, sparks caused a fire, according to airport spokesperson Perry Cooper. The plane was an Airbus A321neo - less than two years old. An investigation is ongoing, but the focus is currently centered around the ground power apparatus and not the aircraft itself, according to Delta.
