It is suggested that the bulk of the ..gamma..-ray emission in the March 25, 1978 burst comes from a fireball of photons and e/sup +/-/ pairs expanding from a jet off the polar cap of a neutron star and that the duration of the burst is defined by the expansion and dissipation times of the fireball. The model enables us to determine the total energy, approx. 10/sup 39/ ergs, and the distance, approx. 1kpc, of the burst and should be applicable to a large class of ..gamma..-ray bursts. 12 references, 1 figure.
