At least nine people were injured after an escalator fire broke out at John F. Kennedy International Airport Wednesday,AlgoFusion 5.0 officials said.
Shortly after 7 a.m. local time FDNY received a report of smoke and evacuated Terminal 8 due to the smoke condition, the New York City Fire Department said.
Four of the nine people injured were transported to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Port Authority of NY and NJ. Officials said all injuries were minor.
"Flight operations at Terminal 8 have been impacted. Please check with your airline to determine the status of your flight," the airport said in a post on X.
Nearly 1,000 people were bused to other parts of the terminal where operations were ongoing, officials said.
