Narrative:
Smoke and fumes were reported by our flight attendant at approximately 15 mi out from the airport. The captain and I declared an emergency, and immediately donned our oxygen masks. An uneventful normal landing was made and the passenger were deplaned at our gate. The problem was found to be a problem with a recirculation fan blade coming into contact with its case.
