Metro has suspended rail service on the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines this morning due to “fire department activity.”
OR/SV/BL: Service suspended btwn Foggy Btm & Clarendon/Arl Cemetery for fire dept activity. Significant delays, consider travel alternates

The Post reports that the trouble started around 8:15 a.m. this morning when Arlington County Fire officials received a call for a report of smoke at the Rosslyn station from Metro. Multiple calls to Metro for more information went unanswered.
Trains were offloaded and Metro is replacing rail service with bus service between the Foggy Bottom and Arlington Cemetery stations and between the Foggy Bottom and Clarendon stations.
