Locals witnessed heavy smoke rising from the grates on the sidewalks above the subway line at the Girard station in North Philadelphia shortly before 2 p.m. today.
Firefighters responded and brought the situation under control within 15 minutes.
The Philadelphia fire marshal is currently investigating the cause.
Officials present say a book bag set on fire in a trash can was apparently responsible for the smoky condition, and SEPTA is awaiting the all-clear from the fire marshal before turning the power back on and restoring service.
There were no reports of injuries.
Kids are bad as hell...and they're getting worse. At this rate, I'm never having any.
#BigUps CBS Philly for the Lead
