An electrical fire at Orlando International Airport Thursday night forced officials to temporarily close trams and several terminals, according to Local 6 News.

The fire reportedly started inside an elevator mechanical room inside the airport at about 7 p.m. Thursday night.

The fire sent smoke into the terminal area and prompted the closure of gates 60 through 99.

The trams and gates were reopened about an hour after the fire was reported.

There were no injuries in connection with the incident.

The cause of the fire has not been determined.
