That's 7 minutes after the issue was reported to the #wmata ROCC.

#wmata ERT arrived at Benning Rd at 10:45 to begin the investigation to find the source of the smoke/fire. The ERT team was given an incorrect chain marker (location) of the incident. The location of the incident command post also changed. As of 10:56 investigation hasn't begun.
A crew of #wmata employees has begun their walk to the reported source of the smoke/fire. The Emergency Response Team personnel were not with them.
Burnt debris has been identified as the possible source.

#wmata's Ops 2 controllers do not appear to have followed SOP 1A protocols ensuring personnel responding to incidents know their roles. The employee initially designated as the on-scene commander is part of the track investigation, leaving no liaison at the FD/PD command post.
#wmata Ops 2 controllers dispatched 2 rail supervisors to the scene as expected. However, both supervisors appear to have been part of the track investigation crew, rather than splitting duties & 1 remaining @ IC post to coordinate with MTPD & FD

#wmata has restored normal Silver Line service from Largo to Wiehle (keep in mind Addison Rd is still closed for construction).
Guys, we did this one already only an hour ago.
