One person was seriously injured in a terrifying blaze near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. Thursday morning, officials said.
Bright orange flames engulfed a concession kiosk northwest of the memorial sometime after sunrise, images shared on X indicated.
The one alarm fire resulted in one victim who was airlifted with “serious non life threatening injuries,” DC Fire and EMS confirmed.
Firefighters successfully put out the fire and secured propane tanks from the concession hut, the officials added.
Video from the scene showed several D.C. Bravest at that scene while the charred kiosk was being hosed down.
Two gas tanks could be seen set aside on the pavement.
