An early-morning fire at the Astor Place subway station in Manhattan left multiple people injured and temporarily suspended service on the 4 and 6 lines, which resumed with significant delays.

According to the FDNY, a fire broke out on a southbound 4 train car at around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday. Officials said it was a work train being used to vacuum the tracks. It was not a regular passenger train.

Eight MTA workers and six firefighters suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to officials. The FDNY said at one point over 141 fire and EMS personnel were on the scene, but the situation had since quieted down.

A northbound passenger train was pulling into the station at the same time the fire started. All riders were evacuated safely with no injuries reported. As of 7 a.m., 4/5/6 trains were running with “severe delays in both directions after FDNY concluded an investigation at Astor Place,” the MTA said, but service has been improving.
