Fire At FAA Facility Leads To Brief Ground Stop at 3 D.C. Area Airports

A small fire at a regional air traffic control facility Sunday morning caused a brief ground stop at all three D.C. area airports.

A refrigerator caught fire in an office area at the Potomac TRACON facility, which controls the area's airspace.

The ground stop only lasted about 25 minutes, and affected fewer than 20 flights at Reagan National, Dulles International and BWI Marshall airports.
