Narrative:The Dornier 328 had been withdrawn from use by PSA Airlines and stored at Kingman, AZ in 2005. It was later moved to San Marcos, TX. In the hangar of Berry Aviation the Dornier would receive a new interior.
The airplane caught fire while in the hangar, causing minor injuries to a mechanic. The plane was completely destroyed. Other planes in the hanger which included another Do-328, N458PS and a Beech King Air were not damaged in the fire.
