Air Canada flight AC885, a Boeing 777-333(ER), was standing at the gate when a water truck caught fire under the tail section.
As passengers began disembarking, the drinking water service vehicle located near the rear cargo door caught fire. The flames reached the aircraft's skin and smoke was detected in the cabin. A rapid disembarkation was ordered, and all passengers exited to the terminal while the fire was brought under control by ground staff.
The aircraft resumed regular service on 7 November 2023,
