B1-B Lancer catches fire at Dyess Air Force Base, two people injured

A B-1B Lancer caught fire during engine maintenance at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas on Wednesday evening.

Two individuals were injured during the fire and transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatning injuries.

A bystander video shows flames shooting out of what appears to be a plane behind a fenced installation. A spokesperson for the 7th Bomb Wing told Fox News Digital they are looking into the video.

"We are so grateful that all members of Team Dyess involved have been treated and are now safely back at home," 7th Bomb Wing commander Col. Joseph Kramer said in a statement Thursday.  "Our B-1 fleet and warfighters remain ready to execute any long-range strike mission."........

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
