Riders Furious After Morning Fire at Rosslyn Metro Station

A fire at Rosslyn metro station this morning required an evacuation and resulted in huge delays, angering customers who have been dealing with repeated problems at the station.

The fire comes just a few days after passengers were stuck in the tunnel between Foggy Bottom and Rosslyn.

The Arlington County Fire Department responded to the trackbed fire shortly before 6 a.m. at the Rosslyn station, and cleared the scene about a half hour later, according to the fire department's Twitter account.

CBS Local reported that authorities had found a smoking insulator that was causing a smell of smoke, but no visible smoke.

Metro said that blue line trains were single-tracking between Arlington Cemetery and Foggy Bottom, and the orange line was as well between Foggy Bottom and Clarendon, resulting in huge delays and annoyed passengers.

On Thursday, a blue line train got stuck near the Rosslyn station in the tunnel while coming from Foggy Bottom, trapping up to 200 people on board for more than an hour before authorities were able to free them, according tonews reports.

This morning's fire led to a flurry of tweets expressing frustration with WMATA's further problems despite the recent system-wide shutdown.
