DC Fire & EMS spokesman Pete Piringer said it took firefighters 15-20 minutes to put the fire out at the Lowest Price Gas Station at the corner of Wisconsin Ave. and Q St., NW.

 

The fire caused significant damage to the building, a car inside the building and one car outside the building. Two nearby restaurants also suffered damage from the fire.  

Piringer said investigators believe the fire was accidental. They said technicians were working on a gas tank in a vehicle with a space heater nearby, and it’s believed the fumes from the space heater ignited the gasoline fumes.

 

Three people were evaluated, one for smoke inhalation, but all three people refused transport.
