BA incident at Logan

Boston local news is reporting a BA London-Boston flight (identified as BA239) "caught fire on the tarmac just after landing" and was evacuated. They report the fire is out, with some injuries to firefighters but all pax and crew out OK. They further report that the fire started "in a compartment underneath the baggage compartment".

Video shows a twin (presumably a 777) parked at a jetway, with all of the right side doors closed, no slides in sight, and lots of emergency vehicles. Looks like hopefully a minor incident.
