LONGVIEW — A fire broke out in the cabin of a SkyWest Airlines flight bound for Toronto on Monday evening, forcing the aircraft to make an emergency landing at East Texas Regional Airport. No one was injured, Gregg County officials said. According to KETK, the flight originated about 7:00 in Houston and developed problems shortly after takeoff. Its original schedule called for an 11:00 landing in Toronto. Instead, plans were being made to bus the flight’s 62 passengers back to Houston later Monday.
