LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Authorities are investigating reports of an engine fire on a flight to Fresno.



Passenger Mike Scott captured the video on the tarmac at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.



The video shows fire crews spraying water on the Allegiant Airlines jet while a flight attendant gives evacuation instructions on the intercom.



The Clark County Fire Department says a small fire was noticed in the engine compartment, but Allegiant is only calling it a mechanical issue.



Passengers were escorted off the plane and put on buses to the terminal for another flight.



They also received $50 vouchers.



No one was injured during this incident.
