Does anyone know what happened to the What the Pho? food truck at Farragut today? Several fire engines on the scene, but no signs of a fire from the outside.”
@IAFF36 tweets:
“Update/final: 3700 blk Georgia Ave NW. Had fire in the duct work. Fire is out. All searches negative.”
Reader TML took these amazing photos and writes:
“The engines arrived around 8:30 this morning. No one was injured, and the fire was under control very quickly. We have lived across the street from the Sweet Mango now at the Park Place apartments, for two years…and this is the third time we’ve seen Sweet Mango on fire. Kinda leaves one speechless…”
In Dec. 2010 a fire closed Sweet Mango for nearly three months. Thanks to all who sent word about today’s fire.
