I've not been able to find a source for this material, which I am parking here for now:

The airport emergency fire truck arrived but was unable to help, as its extinguishing equipment turned out to be inoperable or empty. An initial group of passengers was able to exit safely using the inflatable chutes, but the chutes burned down before the evacuation was completed and the remaining passengers had to jump to the ground. Some broke their legs or ankles in the process and were helped by others.
