ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) — Fire officials in Montgomery County say they’ve discovered trouble using their radios in some portions of the Metro system, an issue that follows similar problems for District of Columbia firefighters.

A memo sent Saturday by a fire official who oversees emergency communications and technology for the county says bi-monthly testing found that portions of the Metro system’s red line had “poor to non-existent” radio coverage.

Battalion Chief Michael Baltrotsky wrote that the problem is in “segments of the below grade” red line system. He wrote that means firefighters will have “little to no radio coverage” in “tunnels and some below-grade stations.”

Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said Monday that the issue was isolated to some areas of the Wheaton station. He said Metro is working to fix the problem.
