Fire destroys train carriage, no one injured

A fire broke out on an express train from Prague to České Budějovice on Wednesday morning completely destroying a carriage, but all passengers escaped unharmed. The fire broke out in the last carriage most likely due to a faulty electricity circuit. All twenty passengers disembarked safely and the carriage was disconnected from the rest of the train. Despite the fact that fire fighters arrived within minutes the carriage was completely gutted, causing damage estimated at half a million crowns.
