@Metrorailinfo I'm on the Car #7500 leading Train #500 at Wiehle-Reston East and it looks like a fire extinguisher went off before the train arrived at the station. Staffs on the scene to clean the car. Did the extinguisher fall off the bottom of the seat? pic.twitter.com/SfafDwYF1m

Update to the situation:
Car #7502, the third car of the consist, also has the same problem. Everyone got sent to the second car. Looks like someone was playing a little game. pic.twitter.com/7DRRfbtsky
