Delta Airbus A330 Engine Fire During Takeoff

On July 23, 2024, a Delta Airbus A330-300 performing a flight from Paris Charles de Gaule to Detroit received an engine fire warning from its number one engine during takeoff. The crew decided to reject the takeoff, a decision that led to a successful outcome. The aircraft stopped on the runway and awaited the fire services. The engine warning was correct, and the fire services needed to spray the engine with fire-retardant foam. Sources have stated the fire might have come from a possible bird strike. No injuries were reported.
