A flight attendant for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines put out a cabin fire that started just after the plane touched down in Bangkok on Sunday, according to a Daily Mail report.

One of the passengers recorded a video of the small fire and posted it to Twitter. The same passenger claimed a lithium ion battery inside someone's carry-on bag was the cause of the fire.

KLM says it is still investigating the incident.

The flight from Amsterdam was carrying 321 passengers, plus crew members. Several people on board took to social media to praise the flight attendant for her calm response.

Lithium ion batteries are allowed on aircrafts -- but only inside carry-ons, and only if they're in their original packaging or separate plastic bags.
