Warwick, RI — Warwick Firefighters were called to TF Green Airport this afternoon for an inbound airliner reporting a heat sensor alert, which landed without incident.
The call came in at about 4:21 p.m., according to @EverettTrainer  , reporting from scanner traffic. that the plane, with 130 people on board, was registering a heat sensor alert in the rear compartment.
WFD Engines were dispatched to the scene as a precaution, according to Battalion Chief Robert Parmenter. He said the plane was headed to Bangor, ME, at the time of the alert, and was diverted to Warwick.
Parmenter said a hydraulic hose in the rear of the airplane broke, causing a motor in that section to heat up, but there was no fire. The malfunction did heat up the luggage a bit, though.
“There was definitely heat in there. The luggage was warm,” Parmenter said.
After landing, the plane offloaded its passengers without incident onto the tarmac at about 5 p.m., and bused them to the terminal.
