SEATTLE - A fire broke out on the Seattle Center Monorail late Monday evening around 5 p.m. Smoke was pouring out of the blue monorail as it was just on the south side of the Experience Music Project. There were some passengers on board. Fire crews were able to successfully evacuate all of the passengers and the fire was reported under control around 5:30 p.m. Officials with the Experience Music Project tell KOMO 4 News that operations there are still normal. Traffic along 5th Avenue near Broad Street was blocked for the fire response. There have been no reports of any injuries at this point, but can see medics treating some people on the lawn near the scene. We're still waiting for more details from the Seattle Fire Department.
