Normal service on BART's Green Line between Berryessa and Daly City stations resumed Monday morning after a nearly weeklong disruption due to a fire.

Shortly before 9 a.m. Monday, BART officials said trains were once again running on the Green Line, six days after a fire near the San Leandro station suspended service.

The blaze, reported about 5 a.m. on May 20, damaged trackside equipment and was related to a power issue, BART officials said.

BART crews will be working through Memorial Day weekend to re-establish service lost after explosions and fire caused damage to the San Leandro station, officials said. NBC Bay Area's Raj Mathai spoke with Investigative Reporter Jaxon Van Derbeken to understand how it happened and what's next for the agency.

BART is operating on a Sunday schedule for the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, from 8 a.m. until about midnight.

All five lines will be in service until about 9 p.m., and after that BART will run three-line (Yellow, Blue, and Orange) service.
