Fire Brigade put out train on fire

From Clubcrown's description, this incident sounds very similar to the Skerries one. It doesn't sound like the fire suppression system activated here either, and the train would probably have been fit to continue with that engine shut down once the fire brigade had checked it out.

Mark, all I'm saying is that the people I spoke to believed they had seen flames, so as far as I am concerned, that part of the story is not a fabrication. It was dodgy reporting that made the leap from "people saw flames" to "the train was on fire".
