WASHINGTON ( WDCW ) – A man was injured after a kiosk near the Lincoln Memorial in
Washington, D.C., caught
fire Thursday morning. DC Fire and EMS said in a post on X at about 7:15 a.m. that they were at Lincoln Memorial Circle NW after a propane tank caused a small concession kiosk to catch fire. The man was flown out by a U.S. Park
police helicopter for treatment for serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The bulk of the fire was extinguished by 7:22 a.m., and firefighters remained on the scene to continue to wet down the kiosk. The Lincoln Memorial has a 19-foot tall, 175-ton statue of former President Abraham Lincoln looking out over the Reflecting Pool at the western end of the National Mall, according to Washington.org .
