DALLAS (1080 KRLD) - It could take well into tonight before air traffic at both DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field Airport returns to normal after a fire at a critical air traffic control center.
Smoke at the DFW Terminal Radar Approach Control caused managers to evacuate the building about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. Air traffic controller Terry Donaldson, who works in the center, says the smoke kept getting worse.
He says a contractor working on the building apparently did something that touched off a fire inside a wall. It took an hour and a half before the controllers could return to their regular work stations.
