During the approach to 6L at 180 KTS with the flaps at 8 I called for flaps 20. During movement from 8 to 20 the flaps stopped at 14 and we received the FLAPS FAIL amber message. I was pilot flying; the Captain ran the FLAPS FAIL QRH while I flew and managed communication. Approach gave us delay vectors around the 6L approach path at 5;000 FT while we ran the QRH. We declared an emergency and asked for crash fire and rescue because of the flight control malfunction. The QRH procedure was completed within about 5 minutes. My Captain then notified the Flight Attendant by using the EMER call button and reviewing TEST items with her. The Captain then made a PA to the passengers notifying them of the situation. We then accepted vectors to ILS 6L. Flew the ILS 6L approach (flaps 14) and performed a normal landing (Vref 154) with no further complications.
A CRJ200 CAS alerted FLAPS FAIL at flaps 14 during flap movement from 8 to 20. An emergency was declared; the QRH complied with and a normal landing followed.
