I saw the aircraft 2 weeks ago. It was a wheel well fire. Maint was cleaning the wheel well area with alchol after doing some maintenance. Someone in the cockpit was doing some electrical checks (the aircraft was in for a maint check). The spark caused the alchol to ignite. From what I saw their was quite a bit of damage in the wheel well area.
