Photo by F1.2
When we peruse our wonderful Flickr pool—stocked with fantastic images from some of the city’s best non-professional (and some professional) photographers—we don’t often expect images of gas stations in flames. But that’s what we found this morning—a set of images from Flickr user F1.2 of an SUV that had a not-so-pleasant run-in with a gas pump over the weekend.
WTOP caught the details of the incident, which took place on Saturday in Bailey’s Crossroads:
A gas pump and car caught on fire at a Fairfax County gas station on Saturday.
There were no injuries in the incident which happened at the Shell gas station in Bailey’s Crossroads.
Fairfax County officials say a driver pulled into the station, hit a gas pump and the car and pump caught on fire.
The gas was cut off and the fire was extinguished.
Yikes.
