Five-Alarm Fire in Bronx Disrupts Subway Service Ángel Franco/The New York Times A five-alarm fire swept through a commercial strip in the Bronx, disrupting subway service along White Plains Road. A fire in a commercial building in the Bronx sent smoke billowing over the Wakefield neighborhood and down into a nearby subway station early Thursday morning, forcing the suspension of service of some subway lines. The fire was reported at 6:16 a.m. and it quickly escalated to five alarms, with smoke visible for miles around on a clear spring morning. The buildings appeared to be empty and there were no immediate reports of injuries, according to fire officials. There was also no immediate information about what might have started the blaze. The fire, which engulfed a garage at 226th Street and threatened neighboring buildings, was still burning on Thursday morning. Subway service on the Nos. 2 and 5 lines between 241st Street and Gun Hill Road was suspended because of smoke in the tunnels, according to fire officials.
