<p>US Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the plane’s left engine caught fire.</p>
<p>A plume of black smoke could be seen billowing into the sky, but firefighters quickly doused the Boeing 777-200 with fire retardant.</p>
<p>McCarran International Airport spokesman Chris Jones said the 159 passengers and 13 crew members on the British Airways flight, which was bound for Gatwick, had gotten off the plane.</p>
<p>The airport reported on its official Twitter account that two passengers were taken to hospital with minor injuries.</p>
<p>The Clark County Fire Department said the fire was not the result of a crash.</p>
