Crews from the Arlington County Fire Department responded to the station shortly after 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 29, where there was a report of smoke in the building, officials said.

Upon arrival, crews were able to locate a small trash fire that was quickly extinguished and firefighters to ventilate smoke from the area before officials gave the "all-clear" to reopen all trains and resume normal operations.

No injuries were reported. It is unclear what caused the small trash fire near track 1.
