Twin fires on the Orange Line?

UPDATE: MBTA says no fires.
Boston Police are tweeting there are fires in the Chinatown AND State Street stations on the Orange Line. Local 718 tweets firefighters are trying to determine the source of smoke on the Orange Line at Downtown Crossing.
The T itself is only reporting a disabled inbound train at Haymarket.
Comments
There was a report of smoke at Downtown Crossing
As tweeted by both Local 718 (the Boston firefighters' union) and Boston Fireman (a Boston firefighter who listens to a scanner in his off hours). Apparently, whatever caused that wasn't considered major.
At the same time, people were getting booted off the Orange Line at State Street, possibly related to the disabled train the T reported at Haymarket. And then BPD chimed in with its tweet about twin fires.
