We got several tips about a car catching fire on 17th Street NW near K, right by Farragut Square a little while ago. Reader Brett Andriesen was kind enough to send in this image from his phone - looks like the fire department already has the situation under control. Hope that wasn't your green SUV (looks like an Explorer maybe?).

It was pretty awesome. DC Fire took 10 minutes to come and then got rid of the all the fun.
Unrelated, but does anyone know the story of the lady who stands on that corner and holds up a picture of Frank Sinatra? I can never make out what she's saying...
If you listen real closely she says "Burn the Green Explorer". Freaky uh?
Hmmm. Apparently the fire was hot enough to warp the entire office building next to it.
Ja, it is (was) an Explorer. And now my building smells like toasted plastic.
