The fires were reported around 4:30 p.m., an NJ Transit official said.
New Jersey Transit is investigating car fires that damaged four vehicles at a maintenance facility in Kearny on Tuesday afternoon.
Nancy Snyder, a spokeswoman for NJ Transit, said the fires were reported around 4:30 p.m. at the agency’s Meadows Maintenance Complex, although it’s currently unclear whether the vehicles are privately-owned or belong to NJ Transit.
No one was injured in the incident, during which three vehicles caught fire and a fourth was damaged, Snyder added.
The NJ Transit facility, located along the Newark-Jersey City Turnpike, is the site where rail cars are serviced and maintained.
A message left for the Kearny Fire Department was not returned.
The investigation is ongoing, Snyder said.
