Read the full NTSB narrative
DURING PREFLIGHT OF THE AIRPLANE, THE FIRST OFFICER OPENED THE MAIN OXYGEN SUPPLY VALVE IN THE COCKPIT AND HEARD A LOUD HISSING SOUND. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, THE COCKPIT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES, BUT THE COPILOT WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE. HE EXITED THE AIRPLANE UNINJURED. THE FIRE MELTED THE OXYGEN SYSTEM PRESSURE REDUCER-REGULATOR ASSEMBLY, BURNED A HOLE IN THE RIGHT FORWARD SIDE WALL OF THE AIRPLANE, AND CAUSED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE CABIN INTERIOR BEFORE IT WAS EXTINGUISHED BY RAMP PERSONNEL. A LABORATORY ANALYSIS DISCLOSED THE PRESENCE OF OIL IN A 'DEPOSIT' FOUND ON THE INTERIOR OF THE OXYGEN CYLINDER.
