Fire forces brief shutdown of Newark airport

NEWARK, New Jersey (CNN) -- A fire at a building under construction at the Newark International Airport forced officials to shut down the airport for just over 30 minutes Monday afternoon.

There were no reports of injuries from the fire.

The fire began around 1:20 p.m. EDT at an administrative building being built at the airport. Fire crews responded quickly and extinguished the blaze, said Steve Coleman with the Port Authority.

"As a result of the fire equipment that responded to that, we were forced to close the airport," said Coleman.

Flights resumed at 2 p.m. EDT, he said.

Coleman said people flying to and from Newark should expect delays.

"It's going to take some time getting back on schedule," he said.
