A flight carrying 127 people was evacuated on Christmas Eve after a passenger's phone charger caught fire.
Emergency responders evacuated a JetBlue flight at JFK International Airport in New York on Saturday evening.
The flight was on its way to the gate when a lithium battery in a passenger's laptop caught fire, local news reports.
Seven passengers suffered minor injuries, including smoke inhalation and bruised elbows, the Port Authority said.
The brave crew on JetBlue Flight 662 from Bridgetown, Barbados quickly extinguished the fire after seeing a smoking laptop, according to local news.
First responders and the crew evacuated 67 people from the Airbus A320 jet using an emergency slide system.
Another 60 passengers exited the plane normally, the Port Authority said.
It added that seven passengers suffered minor injuries, including smoke inhalation and bruised elbows.
A man who was on the flight told how the captain put the fire out.
Sean Weed told CBS2 : "The captain came flying out of the cabin. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and was doing like an O. J. Simpson over the seats and passengers. The guy was amazing and put the fire out.
"It was a complete zoo."
JetBlue said in a statement to the Daily News: "Safety is always our number one priority, and we are investigating this incident in coordination with the FAA and NTSB."
Yesterday we reported how a Qantas flight from Singapore landed in London on Christmas Day morning after a 48-hour flight delay.
The Qantas flight from Singapore to London Heathrow had been due to land shortly after 6am on the 22nd.
The flight was forced into an emergency landing in Azerbaijan after a warning light indicated a fire might have broken out in the cargo hold.
Clare Kennett from West Sussex described the frustration of the long wait she and other passengers had to endure.
But she said the captain had done the right thing in making a diversion to land elsewhere and get the plane checked out.
The 63-year-old former IT consultant-turned-chilli farmer praised the Qantas crew but said the information had been lacking from the company in the early stages of the delay.
She said passengers spent hours at Baku airport awaiting visas so they could go to a hotel and were also left wondering about the wait for a relief plane to take them to London.
Ms Kennett, who had enjoyed a three-week holiday which involved surprising her sister in Melbourne for her birthday, said they were left with "no explanation" as to what was going on for a period of time at the hotel, adding that there were "a lot of people very upset".
