Fire forces riders to evacuate from Septa line in North Philadelphia, SEPTA says
A portion of SEPTA's Broad Street Line was suspended Saturday afternoon after a fire near the tracks, officials say.
SEPTA said passengers were evacuated from a subway train at the Fairmount station after a fire broke out after 4:30 p.m. near the tracks near Ridge Avenue and Mount Vernon Street.
The fire was caused because of debris in the track area, according to SEPTA.
The incident shut down the B3 spur, which services riders between Fairmount and Chinatown.
Service will be restored starting on Monday, Dec. 29, according to SEPTA.
