An electrical device started a fire Monday on the roof of a subway train car while the car approached Daeti Station of Busan`s Subway Line 1 in the city`s Goijeong-dong neighborhood, causing more than 30 passengers to evacuate and bringing the train to a stop some 200 meters off the platform. The fire blackened railway tracks and walls with smoke (left photo) and left a hole on the ceiling (right photo) of the train. Firefighters put out the blaze in about 20 minutes, but passengers affected by the smoke were taken to hospitals.
