A utility pole caught fire near Home Depot about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, knocking out power to the area around Baron Cameron Avenue and Reston Parkway.
The intersection and nearby traffic lights were closed for about two hours, making for slow traffic at one of Reston’s busiest intersections.
Readers report Verizon/Verizon Fios service was also disrupted due to the fire. It is still out in some areas as of Thursday morning.
There were no injuries and officials are investigating the cause of the fire. Dominion Virginia Power says all power has now been restored.
