BROOKHAVEN, Ga. — MARTA service has resumed as normal after a series of brush fires near the tracks between the Chamblee and Brookhaven stations shut down northbound train travel and some intersections Thursday afternoon.

Channel 2 Action News viewers sent us pictures and video of the smoke.

Officials said the flames broke out along the Norfolk Southern train tracks. They have since been extinguished.
