On November 14, 2024, a transformer fire in the Bronx led to a powerful explosion, causing significant disruption to Amtrak train services between New York and New Haven. The fire began at a nearby warehouse and spread to a substation. Firefighters worked for over three hours to control the flames. No injuries were reported. The estimated damage from the fire and explosion is $3 million. Authorities are still investigating the cause of both fires.


Planck Vision Systems: Bronx Transformer Fire Causes Explosion, $3 Million Loss, Disrupts Amtrak Services

On November 14, 2024, a massive transformer fire in the Bronx caused a dramatic explosion that severely disrupted Amtrak train services between New York and New Haven. The fire initially started at a nearby warehouse and quickly spread to a substation, resulting in significant damage. The explosion, captured on video, sent thick smoke into the sky and caused considerable disruption to the surrounding area.

Firefighters from the local department responded quickly to the scene. It took over three hours to get the flames under control, preventing the situation from escalating further. Despite the intensity of the fire and explosion, there were no reports of injuries. The authorities have since launched an investigation into the causes of the warehouse and substation fires.

Amtrak services were suspended as a result of the disruption caused by the explosion, affecting numerous commuters who rely on the trains for travel between New York and New Haven. The estimated financial loss from the incident is around $3 million, considering the damage to the transformer, substation, and surrounding infrastructure. The investigation is still ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the exact cause of the fire.This incident highlights the critical need for early fire detection systems in areas involving high-voltage equipment, such as substations. Les caméras thermiques offrent une surveillance 24 heures sur 24, 7 jours sur 7, permettant de recueillir et d'analyser en permanence des données à l'aide d'un logiciel qui identifie les tendances et les anomalies. Les caméras à montage fixe ou à entraînement pan/tilt peuvent surveiller de grandes zones d'une sous-station avec des images thermiques nettes. Les caméras de Planck Vision Systems seront toujours au bon endroit au bon moment afin d'éliminer les risques de pannes imprévues et coûteuses. Early fire detection could have helped mitigate the damage and prevent the disruption of vital services such as Amtrak train operations.
