Fire Breaks Out at Newark Airport

Shocking images show a column of flames shooting up from a roadway at the worldwide airport terminal amid the blast.

On that date, an worldwide traveler with a confirmed case of measles arrived in Terminal C at Newark Liberty global Airport and then transferred to a domestic terminal for a flight to Indianapolis, according to a health department press release.

Fire crews responded to the scene just before noon and quickly extinguished the fire.

The Terminal C-1 wing was evacuated but the rest of the terminal operated normally, including Terminals A and B, but because of weather conditions, the airport tells passengers to expect weather-related delays.

"The fire broke out around 1.45pm and spread over a 5,000-squarefoot area on the ground floor to damage the electrical wiring, installations, wooden furniture, sofa sets and false ceiling before it was brought under control by nine fire engines", said a fire officer.

The airport said in a series of tweets that no one was injured in the blaze, and that utility company PSE&G had full power restored by mid-afternoon.

Newark Airport said: "Passengers are being processed through security checkpoints but with significant delays".

Airport lights went out and baggage carousels shut down in the immediate wake of the blaze, while Twitter users have reported "floods of people trying to get through security" as they re-entered the terminal after being evacuated.
