WASHINGTON -Two sources with knowledge of Monday's smoke incident on Metro
tell FOX 5 that firefighter radios did not work inside the smoky tunnel
near the L'Enfant Plaza station.

Those sources tell FOX 5 antennas inside tunnel were not working and had
not been for several days. Because of that outage, they say firefighters
used line of sightcommunication

the tunnel and cell phones to get information out.
