A Cessna Citation Excel on a charter flight to Portland rejected its takeoff at Oroville after rotation speed because the nose would not rise, and overran the runway. The aircraft caught fire, but the two crew and eight passengers evacuated. The NTSB found the parking brake had not been released before takeoff and the crew was late to abort.
