SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The tires of a JetBlue airplane caught fire Thursday during a hard landing in Sacramento that left 15 people with minor injuries and sent passengers down emergency slides to escape the aircraft.

The plane, on a flight from Long Beach, Calif., appeared to experience trouble with its brakes, and four tires blew out during the landing, said airline spokeswoman Sharon Jones. The 87 passengers were taken to the terminal on buses, said airport spokeswoman Gina Swankie.
