MANHATTAN — A fire broke out at bar inside Penn Station Saturday afternoon, authorities said.
The blaze began in a boiler inside Tracks Raw Bar & Grill about 12:43 p.m. and was brought under control at 1:26 p.m., the FDNY and officials at the scene said. The bar is located near the Long Island Rail Road tracks inside the busy station.
There were no injuries, evacutations or disruptions in service as a result of the blaze, fire officials said.
Witnesses said the bar filled with smoke, forcing patrons to clear out of the underground watering hole.
One rider said he missed his train because the schedule board didn't have track numbers posted and no one was manning the ticket booths due to the blaze.
"They had roped off the area around the ticket booths," said Eric Newman, 22. "I missed my train jut because of the commotion, but I didn't hear that service was stopped."
