A representative from the New York City Fire Department reported that FDNY responded to a fire around 8: 30 in the morning. No injuries reported, writes Patch.com.

Smoke from the fire enveloped the Second Avenue station on Line F, told MTA and subway passengers on social networks. All trains F and M were rerouted to line C and delayed. Some stations on the Lower East Side of the F train were not serviced.

“As we approached the 2nd Avenue station, where the F train passes through, smoke began to be visible. The conductor opened the doors to allow passengers to exit, but in doing so he let the smell and smoke into the carriage, which was felt until I went outside,” wrote one Twitter user.

While the firefighters worked on the railroad tracks, passengers of the F train waited on the trains stopped at the stations.

"They said the FDNY was already on scene trying to put out the cause of the smoke - which I don't think is the most alarming way to say something is on fire," tweeted @Anna_Snackz.

You can see the smoke better here. Just spoke with an @FDNY firefighter who says it's pretty bad down there. Avoid F train if possible @fox5ny pic.twitter.com/mdq3mmvTPz
