FIRE AT
GRANT AVE EXXON STATION |
|
May 16, 2004
- 1358 hrs, Manassas City Fire Communications dispatched
a commercial building assignment for a fire at the Exxon
station located at the intersection of Grant and
Richmond Avenues. Witnesses reported seeing a
vehicle, which had just finished fueling up, speeding
around the entire gas station. Suddenly, the driver
apparently losing control, slammed into one of the
pumps, dragging it and a trash can 10 or so feet.
When the driver went to back the vehicle up, a fire
ignited. The attendant at the station hit the
emergency gas shut off but the fire continued to burn.
Foam Engine and Chief 501 arrived to find the pump
fully involved and the fire
burning up one of the stations columns and the driver
walking around in a manner indicating he was suffering
from burn wounds. The medics, who arrived shortly
after the fire units, took care of the driver while the
crew from the engine quickly extinguished fire. It
was reported that the patient’s condition was rapidly
decreasing so a helicopter was requested. Engine
516 handeled the landing zone. Chief 501 (Lesnick)
had command and held assignment with 2 engines and 1
truck. Units cleared at
1438.
