ACFD investigating vehicle fire at Crystal City parking garage entrance

A pickup truck became engulfed in flames at the entrance to a Crystal City parking garage early Tuesday, prompting a large fire department response.

The intense vehicle fire broke out around dawn on the 1700 block of Crystal Drive, just outside of a loading dock and the entrance to a public parking garage.

We’re told firefighters from Arlington, Alexandria and nearby National Airport rushed to the scene, quickly extinguishing the blaze before it spread to the adjacent structure.

No injuries were reported. Fire marshals from the Arlington County Fire Department are now investigating the origin and cause of the fire.
