Firefighters extinguished a massive car fire at a Lincoln Heights gas station Monday, officials confirmed to KTLA.
It’s unclear exactly what caused the blaze, but flames erupted in what appeared to be the interior of a Chevrolet Camaro, which was parked with its hood up at the gas pumps of an Arco gas station located 2832 N. Broadway in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles just after 2:30 p.m.
In footage of the incident taken by a passing motorist, heavy black smoke can be seen billowing over the area where flames were shooting from the car and igniting the gas station’s awning over the pumps.
Crews with the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the scene at around 2:42 p.m. and were able to extinguish the vehicle and the awning, though both were severely damaged by fire.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department were also called to the scene where traffic had slowed, in part, as motorists and others slowed to watch the blaze, backing up traffic in the area.
Arson investigators, according to LAFD, remained at the scene while the investigation continued.
There were no reports of any injuries, and it’s unclear if any arrests were made.
