FRIDAY, 3:18 AM: Firefighters responded to a fire aboard a northbound 2 train between 96 St and Central Park North–110th Street stations. Multiple Citizen user videos showed heavy smoke billowing from the street on Lenox Ave near 110th Street. Firefighters upgraded the fire to two alarms, with 25 fire units and more than 100 personnel responding, and the fire was brought under control at 3:50 a.m., according to an FDNY source. A 36-year-old man, later identified as MTA train operator Garrett Goble, was pronounced deceased at Mount Sinai Hospital. According to a statement by TWU Local 100 President Tony Utano, Goble "acted heroically to move passengers to the platform out of danger, and deserves our deepest thanks and support for his bravery.” Sixteen others were injured in the blaze, including three civilians who suffered critical but non-life-threatening injuries, and five firefighters. Police say that no arrests have been made. It’s unclear who or what ignited the fire, pending an investigation by a fire marshal.
Firefighters and EMS teams have recovered at least two people injured as a result of the fire.
