Amtrak suspended service between New York City and New Haven due to a fire in the Bronx that cut off power, affecting train operations in the area.
The fire began as Amtrak employees were working on high-voltage feeder cables. A spark ignited debris, leading to a rapid spread of flames that damaged nearby structures.
The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for the region, highlighting that strong winds, low humidity, and dry fuels posed a severe fire risk.
Although no injuries were reported among Con Edison personnel, the fire damaged two or three employees' cars and required extensive firefighting efforts to control.
