JERSEY CITY, NJ — Chaos unfolded early Monday morning after a fire broke out under a PATH train around 6:30 AM, forcing passengers to flee the smoke-filled carriages in a rush for safety.

Several commuters were treated for smoke inhalation, and multiple PATH routes have been shut down as emergency crews and investigators assess the cause of the blaze.

Witnesses described the scene as “terrifying,” with thick smoke rapidly filling the train, prompting an immediate evacuation. Authorities are urging travelers to avoid the area and seek alternate transit options.
