Power outage in Rosslyn after reported electrical fire - ARLnow

Power outage in Rosslyn after reported electrical fire | ARLnow.com

About 1,000 Dominion customers in the Rosslyn area are in the dark tonight (Friday).

An outage, first reported around 6:30 p.m., has knocked out power to a number of large buildings and other parts of the neighborhood.

Firefighters were dispatched to the area around the time of the outage for stuck elevators and fire alarms. They found an issue within an apartment building’s electrical vault on the 1800 block of Key Blvd, according to scanner traffic.

“[The] whole Colonial Terrace neighborhood is blacked out,” one tipster told ARLnow just before 7 p.m.. “Turnberry Tower also appears to be blacked out. Fire and police activity blocking Key [Blvd].”

Dominion’s website lists a cause of the outage as an “equipment fire.” Restoration is estimated between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m.

Outage Update in Roslyn:

1022 customers out due to underground switch failure.

Most customers will get power back temporarily, until a crane arrives overnight or early am to pull out the vault for crews to finish the job as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience!🙏🏻
