Arcing Electrical Line on Laurel Parkway

An electrical line has come down behind the Village Hall on Laurel Parkway. The line is sparking with flames and the portion of Laurel Parkway immediately behind the Village Hall has been blocked. Fire/rescue units are now on scene and PEPCO is en route.
 
This incident has impacted Village phone lines. Residents may call into the Village’s main number (301-654-7300), however, calls are not stacking so you may get a busy signal. If so, please re-try after a few minutes.  While we can receive incoming calls, we are currently not able to dial out.
 
We will provide an update as soon as possible.
