COOPESA REPORTS THAT A FIRE OUTBREAK OCCURRED INSIDE THE FORWARD FUSELAGE, SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE FORWARD CARGO COMPARTMENT NEAR THE INTERNAL SIDE OF THE EXTERNAL AC POWER RECEPTACLE. THE COOPESA EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM ACCESSED THE AFFECTED AREA BY THE FORWARD CARGO COMPARTMENT AND, USING A KIDDE 90 MULTI-PURPOSE ABC DRY CHEMICAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER. AS THE TEAM EXITED THROUGH THE FORWARD CARGO COMPARTMENT ACCESS DOOR, THE EXTINGUISHER CYLINDER WAS STILL DISCHARGING CHEMICAL POWDER. THIS RESULTED IN A CLOUD OF POWDER FORMING OUTSIDE THE AIRCRAFT, MORE CONCENTRATED ON THE RH SIDE. A LIGHT AMOUNT OF DRY CHEMICAL POWDER FROM A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS DEPOSITED ON BOTH ENGINE LIPSKIN AND ACOUSTIC PANEL. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD, COOPESA PERFORMED A DEEP CLEANING (WASH) OF THE LANDING GEAR AND OTHER POTENTIALLY AFFECTED AREAS. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY VISUAL INSPECTIONS AND NO EVIDENCE OF DRY CHEMICAL RESIDUE WAS IDENTIFIED.
