Fire at Bronx subway station disrupts service on the 2 line

A fire broke out at an elevated subway platform in the Bronx Friday morning. 

It happened at the Wakefield-241 Street subway station along White Plains Road, the terminal station on the 2 line. 

The fire broke out at around 9:49 a.m. in a storage area that is also used as a locker room. No injuries were reported. 

The cause is under investigation. 

Video from the scene showed firefighters attacking a large volume of fire on the platform, sending plumes of smoke into the air. 

"I figured that it would explode, so it becomes very fiery, and there's balls of black smoke," one witness said. 

"The safety operation of New York City Transit is now investigating the cause of that fire, but I emphasize it has been extinguished, no injuries," MTA Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber said. 

The blaze impacted subway service. 2 train service between Gun Hill Road and Wakefield-241 Street was suspended due to the fire. Commuters were advised to take the Bx39 bus instead, the MTA said. 

Normal service has since resumed with delays.
