From the Wikipedia article

Corendon Airlines Flight 773 was an accident that occurred on 14 October 2012 to an aircraft operating a scheduled flight from Antalya Airport to Trondheim Airport, which, during pushback at Antalya airport, experienced fire and smoke in the flight deck. An emergency evacuation was carried out, resulting in 27 injured, two of them seriously.

Accident

The Boeing 737-800 was carrying out pushback at Antalya Airport for a scheduled passenger flight to Trondheim, in Norway. It was around 4:00, local time, while it was in that phase, when the presence of smoke and fire in the aircraft's cockpit was reported; therefore, an emergency evacuation was carried out on the airport apron.
