Sydney train passengers evacuated due to fire.
Emergency procedures were activated when a fire broke out on a train in Sydney, leading to the evacuation of all passengers. The incident occurred on a train that was at the Bankstown station in the western part of the city, shortly before noon. According to a spokesperson from Transport NSW, it is believed that a passenger deliberately set something on fire, which was later identified as insulation material.

As soon as the fire was reported, Fire and Rescue NSW were immediately summoned to the scene. Their prompt response and efficient actions led to the successful extinguishing of the fire. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported as a result of the incident. The situation has been brought under control and trains are now operating as per usual.

The cause of the fire is currently being investigated by authorities, with initial reports suggesting that a patron had brought something onto the train and intentionally started the fire. This has raised concerns among the public, with the union calling for stricter measures to ensure the safety of both passengers and staff. This comes just days after a man allegedly stabbed hospital staff in Sydney, prompting a demand for greater protection.

The transport spokesperson reiterated the importance of following safety protocols and urged passengers to refrain from any reckless behavior that could put themselves and others in danger. As the investigation continues, authorities are reminding the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity or behavior immediately. They assure the public that every precaution will be taken to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
