"Quoting Mark Mangooni, Ethiopian Airlines' senior manager in Britain, the Financial Times reported that airline staff had discovered a problem with the aircraft's air conditioning system during a routine inspection and had seen sparks but no flames."

Now I really feel comfortable. The maintenance staff only saw sparks but no flames. The fire may have come from the air-conditioning ducting routed above the galley.
