Air ambulance crew mistake fire smell for farts

A Norwegian air ambulance crew almost ignored the smell of an on board fire because they thought it was just the patients farting.

They noticed a cabbage-like smell which turned out to be a blaze near the front window of the aircraft.

An investigation has traced the smell to burning wire insulation.

"Everyone who has flown knows that gases arise that need to slip out. It isn't unusual that this happens to our patients," said ambulance chief Geir-Arne Soerensen of Air Transport, the company responsible for the flight.

The flames flared up three times, despite attempts to extinguish them and smoke soon started to fill the cabin, according to Aftenposten.

The co-pilot managed to bring the plane down, where an emergency evacuation took place.
