The B Train is Burning
A fire is causing people to be evacuated from a B train on the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan Bridge. According to a police officer on the scene, engine trouble caused a fire in the first car. According to a firefighter on the scene, the toxic smoke smelled like barbecue.
CBS 2 has a helicopter in the sky. We’ve got bikes on the street. It’s on. One of us will get the story.
Update: CBS 2 reports:
Sixty passengers on a rush-hour Brooklyn subway train were evacuated this evening, due to a smoke condition on a platform.
A Transit Authority spokesman says 11 passengers suffered minor injuries and went to Brooklyn Hospital. Train service is also suspended on the B and D lines.
The smoke condition call came in 6:14 p.m. at a subway platform at the DeKalb Avenue station on the B line. It wasn’t immediately clear if a fire was on the platform or in the first subway car.
