Nine people were reportedly injured and flights canceled after a fire broke out in JFK Airport on Wednesday. 

Eyewitness video taken on Wednesday showed smoke inside a waiting area of JFK Airport in New York City while alarms went off after a fire broke inside Terminal 8.

According to reports, the fire, originating from an escalator in Concourse C, spread smoke through Terminal 8 around 7:15 a.m., leading to the evacuation of approximately 960 individuals. The FDNY ventilated the terminal, which was later cleared to reopen.

American Airlines reported three canceled American Eagle regional flights due to the incident. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
