Flight Out Of Twin Cities Diverted Due To Fire

FARGO, N.D. (AP) ― A Compass Airlines flight landed in Fargo after a fire was reported in a restroom. No one was hurt.

The plane landed at the Fargo airport about 11:30 p.m., Wednesday without incident. Passengers were questioned by police and the FBI. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Passengers said it was a scary ordeal. They said flight attendants got them into the first-class section of the plane where the smoke was not as heavy.

The plane carried 59 passengers, many of whom spent the night in the Fargo airport. The flight was headed from Minneapolis-St. Paul to Regina, Saskatchewan.

Compass is a subsidiary of Northwest Airlines.
