Dozens evacuated as smoke from Hamburg fire halts trains

Police and the fire department have warned people in Hamburg, Germany, to close their windows after a large fire engulfed several warehouses and sent black, chemical-laden smoke drifting over the city.
About 140 people were evacuated on Sunday, and it is not yet clear how dangerous the situation is, a police spokesperson said.
A fire department spokesperson said it had reduced the threat level somewhat even though the fire was still burning at midday (10:00 GMT) but that people should remain indoors with their windows closed.
