Two subway stations in Rome evacuated after a fire

Two subway stations in central Rome were evacuated on Sunday, after a fire broke out in an abandoned warehouse near two stations popular with tourists.
Fumes from the fire coming from a warehouse in Villa Borghese Park caused smoke to leak into the ventilation system at the nearby Flaminio subway station.
This led many to believe that the fire broke out inside the station itself, which sparked panic among travelers and spread a state of panic inside metro stations.

The cause of the fire is unclear

The authorities then decided to evacuate both Flaminio Station and the nearby España Station.

According to initial reports, no injuries were recorded, but some people reported suffering from breathing difficulties.
The cause of the fire is still unclear, while police and firefighters are at the scene.
