Fire at DART train station disrupts service

Dallas fire crews are battling a fire involving a DART train near the Pearl/Arts District Station Wednesday evening. There may be significant delays for passengers as all train service through Downtown Dallas is currently suspended, officials said.
Crews were called to the area just after 3:30 p.m.
According to on-scene personnel, the train came to a stop just before fully entering the tunnel at the location.
Dallas Fire-Rescue said 10-15 people were on board the train; six were taken to the hospital. None of the injuries were life-threatening, DFR said.
Firefighters are currently working at the entry of the tunnel system as DART trains move from downtown to Mockingbird Station, DFR said.
DART said shuttle buses are available to assist passengers at Victory, EBJ/Union, West End, Akard, St. Paul, Pearl/Arts District, Deep Ellum, Cityplace/Uptown and SMU/Mockingbird stations.
Video from the CBS New Texas chopper shows burn and scorch marks on top of one of the train cars.
The cause of the fire is unknown; however, investigators believe it is accidental.
