My understanding is the landing rockets set the grass on fire under the capsule. Forunately it burned too quickly to harm the crew, but the parachute caught on fire as a result. No wonder it took them a while to get the satellite phone out to place a call home.

It looks like they will have an exciting story to tell at the news conference.
