Firefighters were checking out a report of a suspicious odor Sunday reportedly coming from an airplane at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana. 

β€œThe initial crew handled it and canceled the remaining assignment (fire personnel),” Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Sean Doran said. β€œI haven't got the report back myself.” 

Firefighters and paramedics were dispatched at 9:20 a.m. to 18601 Airport Way regarding a report of an odor coming from an unoccupied airplane at a gate at the airport, Doran said. 

Earlier Sunday, the OCFA dispelled reports that something more serious had occurred at the airport. β€œWe have received multiple calls asking about reports of a plane crash at John Wayne Airport,” the agency tweeted. β€œ***There has been no plane crash***.”
