<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Friday it is investigating an engine fire that occurred last week on a Boeing (NYSE:) 737-900 MAX plane operated by United Airlines at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.</p>
<p>The NTSB said a fire warning light indicator came on after United Airlines Flight 2376 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida landed at Newark on June 28, prompting the crew shut down one of the engines. </p>
<p>There was no visible smoke or fire from the engine so the airplane was towed to the gate, where maintenance personnel saw evidence of a fuel leak from the engine and heat damage and soot on the engine cases and external surfaces, the NTSB added.</p>
<p>Passengers exited from the plane in a normal fashion in Newark, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA said the plane landed after the flight crew activated the engine fire extinguishers as a precaution.</p>
<p>United said it is investigating but declined further comment. Boeing referred questions to the NTSB and United. </p>
<p>The engine was built by French-American jet engine maker CFM International, which is co-owned by <span itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Corporation"><span itemprop="name"> General Electric </span></span> (NYSE:) and France&#8217;s <span itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Corporation"><span itemprop="name"> Safran </span></span> (EPA:). </p>
<p>GE and Safran did not immediately respond to requests for comment.</p>
