"The fire's pretty much out at this time. PD does have a suspect in custody and they're questioning her at this time," said Captain Tua Tho, Unified Fire Department.

TRAX trains are still operating, but the incident could affect people who want to use the Midvale TRAX station Wednesday morning.

Fire officials said the hay was placed at the station to mitigate construction noise.
