Electrical fire sparks trouble on the T

BOSTON -- The Government Center T station was temporarily closed Monday morning after a small, electrical fire.

Around 10 a.m., flames broke out in the overhead lines that supply power to the trains. Despite frozen hydrants, crews were still quickly able to douse the smoldering lines.

The station was shut down for about an hour. Commuters had to be bused between stations while the Government Center stop was not in service.

No injuries related to the fire were reported.
