A dramatic fire engulfed a train at the Ahrensfelde station on the Berlin-Brandenburg border, prompting a swift response from emergency services.

The incident occurred on Saturday evening when the train's conductor noticed smoke and initiated an evacuation.

Five passengers were safely led out by the conductor and a train attendant before the flames consumed the three carriages.

The fire, which involved a diesel-powered train operated by the private Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn, was eventually brought under control by the fire department.

The station was temporarily closed, with bus services replacing train routes.

Investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing, with no injuries reported.

The Federal Railway Accident Investigation Agency is set to examine the train to determine the fire's origin.
