Vueling A319 at Florence on Aug 13th 2014, gear fire after landing

A Vueling Airbus A319-100, registration EC-JVE performing flight VY-1503 from Paris Orly (France) to Florence (Italy) with 121 passengers, landed on Florence's runway 05 and slowed safely. While vacating the runway smoke was observed from the landing gear prompting the crew to stop clear of the runway, emergency services responded and reported visible flames from the gear prompting the crew to initiate the evacuation of the aircraft via slides. Emergency services applied foam to extinguish the fire. There were no injuries though a pregnant woman was taken to a hospital as a precaution.

Italy's ANSV deployed investigators on site and opened an investigation into the occurrence rated a serious incident.
