Total Linhas Aereas 737-400 freighter destroyed by a cargo hold fire after making an emergency landing at Sao Paulo Guarulhos International Airport in Brazil..
Three vehicles from the airport's own fire brigade and another five from the Fire Department worked to fight the flames on the airport runway. At around 7 am, firefighters were already doing the rescue work and removing the cargo from the plane.
The Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents (Cenipa) said it will investigate the causes of the fire and forced landing. No injuries reported during the accident.

Would be interesting to see the cargo manifest! Some batteries?
...
electric vehicle battery.? Cargo planes have some serious fire suppression measures.
Can we inhale Lithium vapors ?
Waiting for someone to blame it on Boeing...
either a lithium battery fire or another planted russian pyro-device ...
Sure. I doubt anything good would come from it.
Yes they do but are useless against a lithium ion battery fire. It really is not a fire in the classic sense as it needs no oxygen. What looks like fire is all the energy stored in the batteries being released at once and melting and vaporizing surrounding material into toxic flames.
