Fire sweeps school students train

(ANSA) - Soveria Mannelli (Catanzaro) April 1 - A fierce fire broke out in a carriage on a train packed with school students in the southern region of Calabria Wednesday, causing panic but no injuries, witnesses said.
    The flames were spotted by some of the school pupils after they smelled smoke that spread through the train's heating system from the carriage that was afire.
    Students in the burning carriage tried to break down the door at the end of the corridor after they were unable to raise the alarm but a short time letter the train stopped near the town of San Pietro Apostolo, in the province of Caranzaro, and the blaze was extinguished by railway staff using fire extinguishers.
