Traffic Is Er Was...

not even as dramatic as it sounds.

pilot and aircraft land on 21R at YPPF.
Notices things not quite as they should be, so pulls almost off the runway and gets out.
Runway closed.
Pilot applies fire extinguisher.
ground crew sent to inspect.
pilot has a chat with the ground crew.
fire brigade arrive a good 20 minutes later, in time to push the aircraft completely off the runway.
runway re-opens, airport speculation begins as to whose aircraft it was and the cause of the fire.
