A fire engulfed a three-carriage passenger train at Ahrensfelde station near Berlin, resulting in no injuries among the five evacuating passengers, although the train sustained significant damage.
Firefighters arrived shortly after a loud bang was heard by the train driver. The immediate evacuation of the five passengers was carried out successfully, ensuring their safety.
The cause of the fire remains unknown after initial investigations were inconclusive, with both Germany's Federal Police and the Federal Bureau of Railway Accident Investigation involved.
The incident prompted a temporary closure of the Ahrensfelde station for about two-and-a-half hours, only reopening to rail traffic after the firefighting efforts concluded.
