United Airlines spokeswoman Maddie King said Flight 328, carrying 333 passengers, landed safely Friday and passengers got off at the terminal. No injuries were reported.
Airport spokesman Heath Montgomery says a small grass fire near a runway may have been caused when the jet took off.
Montgomery says the fire has been contained.
