Red Line trains are running again in both directions this morning after a small electrical fire at the Porter Square station knocked out service for less than an hour.

Passengers had to be bused between stations at Harvard Square and Alewife while the fire was quickly extinguished, according to Joe Pesaturo, a spokesman for the MBTA.

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority reported the fire on its website at 8:01 a.m.
