A large fire department response is on scene at the Pentagon City Metro station due to a track fire.
The apparent insulator fire is on one of the track at the station, producing light smoke. As of 9:15 a.m., the station was not being evacuated, but trains were being offloaded.
The Arlington County Police Department is helping to direct traffic in the area.
Trains are currently halted but Metro is preparing to single-track through the station, according to scanner traffic.
