Virginia Dominion officials said they have restored power to thousands of Northern Virginia customers after a ladder truck struck a power line at a Fairfax County fire house Wednesday morning.

Le Ha Anderson, spokesperson for Virginia Dominion Power, said the emergency vehicle hit a transmission line off Ox Road and around 8:45 a.m.

Officials said the contact between the ladder truck and the power line caused a small fire in an electrical panel inside the fire station.

One firefighter received non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.

Anderson said crews worked to reroute power in order to get customers back on line as soon as possible. Power was restored shortly before 10:30 a.m.

Metro officials told 9NEWS NOW the outage affected the King Street, Van Dorn, and Springfield Metro stations, where power has since been restored.
