Maybe a bit too much smoke for a hot hoover . . .

Boeing 787 Dreamliner reported on fire at Logan International Airport - Boston.com

Massport Fire Rescue Chief Robert J. Donahue said firefighters encountered heavy smoke in the entire cabin of the plane and used thermal imaging devices to determine the source of the fire. “We found a fire condition about ‘midships in the avionics compartment underneath,” he said. He said the fire began in a battery that was part of an auxiliary power unit that is only used when the plane is on the ground and its engines are turned off.
