Video Surfaces from Silver Spring Metro Fire in May

No one was injured in the Red Line fire.

A video from the May 14 fire on the Red Line shows flashes of fire and smoke at the Silver Spring Metro station, as firefighters rush to the scene. The video, taken from Metro cameras, can be seen on WJLA.

No one was injured in the fire.

Metro investigated and found that the protective covering between the hydraulic hose and the power cable on the rail car had worn down and caused the problems. To fix this, Metro is installing Kevlar protective coverings.
