The airport said it was Royal Air Maroc's decision to evacuate and asked whether it could have been done differently. 7 passengers were treated on the spot, 5 of them taken to a hospital.
Canada's TSB have opened an investigation.
On Nov 6th 2013 the TSB reported that the aircraft was parking at the gate after arrival from Casablanca. While the passengers began disembarking through the front left main door a cargo belt loader approached the left aft cargo door but caught fire due to a fuel leak inside its engine compartment. An evacuation was ordered, the passengers continued to deplane through the left front door and three slides (to the right hand side) were deployed with a number of passengers exiting the aircraft via the slides. 3 passengers sustained minor injuries as result of the evacuation.
