Delta MD88 -burning smell in cabin

 A Delta Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-88, flight DL-2187 from Cincinnati,KY to Orlando,FL (USA) with 149 people on board, was in the initial climb out of Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Airport's runway 18C when the crew reported burning smell in the back of the cabin, levelled off at 2000 feet and reported a fire on board while joining a right downwind for runway 18C at 2500 feet. On final approach to runway 18C the crew told ATC flight attendants reported an intense burning smell in the back of the cabin causing quite some concern with the crew because of electrical problems prior to departure. The aircraft landed safely on runway 18C about 9 minutes after departure, responding emergency services found no trace of fire or smoke.
The airport later reported the fire fighters found no smoke but steam.
A replacement Airbus A320-200 departed Cincinnati with a delay of 6 hours.
